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.
