SECTION 1: GETTING TO KNOW GOD

STUDY 1: ETERNITY AND YOU

Robert Morris

*

"From the very beginning, the Tenach (Jewish Bible) promised a Messiah (Genesis 3:15),
a Savior for both Jews and Gentiles (Isaiah 49:6)."

The Jewish Bible teaches these

Steps to Eternal Life and Peace With God

  • God is the source of eternal life.

    “Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; in Thy presence is fullness of joy; in Thy right hand there are pleasures forever.”

    ~ Psalm 16:11 ~

  • Man experiences separation (death) between himself and God because of sin.

    “But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.”

    ~ Isaiah 59:2 ~

  • Removing this sin barrier requires blood atonement.

    “…it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.”

    ~ Leviticus 17:11 ~

  • God promised to send the Messiah to provide that atonement.

    “But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
    but the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.”

    ~ Isaiah 53:5-6 ~

  • We must accept Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) and His atonement into our lives.

    “Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled.
    How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!”

    ~ Psalm 2:12 ~


    The Messiahship of Yeshua

    From the very beginning, the Tenach (Jewish Bible) promised a Messiah (Genesis 3:15), a Savior for both Jews and Gentiles (Isaiah 49:6). The Tenach reveals over 65 distinctives of the Messiah. For example:

    He WOULD be from . . .
    • the tribe of Judah (Micah 5:2),
    • the family of David (Jeremiah 23:5-6),
    • and born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14).
    • He would suffer and die (Isaiah 53:9) as an atoning sacrifice prior to the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in 70 CE (AD) (Daniel 9:24-26).
    • He would be resurrected (Psalm 16:10).

    The Brit-Chadashah (New Testament) reveals Yeshua’s fulfillment of prophecy.

    • He WAS from . . .
    • the tribe of Judah (Luke 3:33),
    • the family of David (Luke 3:31).
    • He DID suffer and die (Matthew 27:33-56) as an atoning sacrifice prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE (AD).
    • He WAS resurrected through providing salvation for Jew and Gentile (Matthew 28:1-20).

    Messiah Yeshua’s gift of salvation is free to those who repent of their sins, place their faith in His sacrifice, and trust that God raised Him from the dead.

    If you would like to place your trust in Yeshua, you can do so right now. Simply tell God about your decision. Perhaps this prayer (prayer is simply talking with God) reflects your heart. If it does, you might want to use it to express your decision to trust in Yeshua.

    God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I am a Jew. I was born a Jew and I will die a Jew. I now see and understand that Yeshua is our promised Messiah. I now see and understand my separation from you caused by my sin. I confess that I am a sinner. I believe that Yeshua provided the ultimate blood atonement for my sins. I receive Him today as my Messiah and Savior. I commit my life to you and thank you for the gift of eternal life.

    ~ Amen ~



    If you have made this commitment, you now need to grow spiritually stronger in the Lord and develop your personal relationship with Him.
