How and Why to Become a Christian* - Download PDF Article

You are not an accident of nature neither are you an advanced primate as is taught in schools. Your ancestors were not monkeys who evolved over time from nothingness! We live in a natural world that was created supernaturally. If we trace the beginnings of our natural world we must all arrive at the same conclusion that at some point in time there was a period when there was nothing, neither matter nor natural life; void. In the natural world, void is always the first word on the first page in the Book of the Natural World. Natural matter and life cannot come into existence without a Creator. Isaac Newton said, “Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God [Yahweh] governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.”FN1 Matter and life springing into existence from emptiness by a Creator is a supernatural event. What does the Creator want from us?

What the Creator wants from Us!
The Creator has given us a decision to make. We must choose between one of two choices; choose life or death. We must choose either to obey and love Him by living a life of lovingkindness, justice and righteousness or obey and love the evils of the world. If you choose life you will be hated by the unbelievers but with this choice you will have Communion with a loving Heavenly Father and receive the gift of spirit, which enables you to walk in the supernatural. You will eventually live with Him in His promised Garden called Paradise where there is neither death nor disease; neither is there pain nor tears. In the future Garden of Yahweh there will be only life, love, joy and peace. There will be a river of life, bright as crystal, issuing forth out of the throne of Yahweh and of the Lamb and, night, shall be, no more; and there will be no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because, Yahweh, will give us light,––and we shall reign unto the ages of ages. (Rev. 22:1, 5). If you choose death, the wicked people of the earth will love you but you will forfeit any Communion with the Creator. You will dwell in darkness with all of its fruitsFN2 and eventually perish!

Who is the Creator?
Yahweh is the name of the Creator; “Thus, saith GOD  himself––Yahweh,––Creator of the heavens, that stretched them forth, Out–spreader of earth, and the products thereof,––Giver of breath to the people thereon, And of spirit to them who walk therein” (Is. 42:5). Yahweh is holy and requires holiness in our lives.FN3 Yahweh delights in lovingkindness, justice and righteousness.FN4 The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the might,––be unto our God, Yahweh (Rev. 7:12). Yahweh wants to become your Father, if you so choose.

How does Yahweh Communicate to Us?
He had His holy prophets write His words of instructions, which men now call the Holy Bible. John Locke, a natural philosopher from whom a great part of the Constitution of the United States was derived, said, “The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men.- It has God for its author; salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter.- It is all pure.” John Adams, a founding father and the second president of the United States said, “I have examined all religions, and the result is that the Bible is the best book in the world.” FN5This Book, which we will call the Word of YahwehFN6 rather than the Bible, reveals Yahweh’s will for our lives. The Word of Yahweh is the Manual of Life. He also communicates with us by way of the spirit. Spiritual communication gives us information needed in everyday life, such as is needed in our jobs, marriage and the rearing of children etc.

Who is Yahshua?
Yahshua is Yahweh’s only begotten Son who lived a sinless life. (Jesus is the English name used today but the name Jesus, was a corruption of the Greek name to the English name. Yahshua is his Hebrew name, which Yahweh named him. Yahshua means ‘Yahweh is Salvation.’) He gave his life as a sacrifice for our sins thereby, redeeming us from everlasting death, if we so choose and gave us a life that is more than abundant (Jn. 10:10). His sacrifice for us made us holy, thereby allowing us to approach Yahweh through him. He died the death that should have been ours because of our wicked thoughts and deeds. He was our substitute. Yahshua is the man of heaven that is presently sitting at the right hand of Yahweh running his Church, which is His Body, He being the Head.  He is the Messiah, the Anointed One of Yahweh, who is called Christ. Yahshua is our only introduction to the Father. There is no other way to the Father than though His Son, Yahshua. If you reject Yahshua, you reject the Father.FN7

What is a Christian?
A Christian is someone that has made Yahshua their Master and they also have believed in their heart that Yahweh raised him from among the dead. They are members of the Body of the Christ; ones who have received the spirit of Yahweh and life age-abiding. They are referred to as being saved or being born again. They are members of a heavenly family, children of Yahweh and brothers and sisters of Yahshua their Lord and Savior.

What is Salvation?
The Word of Yahweh uses the word ‘saved,’ to refer to people who are kept safe and sound, rescued from danger or destruction. These individuals are safe from everlasting death because they have received the gift of life age-abiding. Every human being is born into sin and death and has subsequently sinned against Yahweh by breaking His laws. Ephesians 2:1-6 sums up who we were and who we presently are; “Unto you also––being dead by your offences and sins, In which at one time ye walked, according to the age of the world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, of the spirit that now energizes in the sons of disobedience, Among whom also, we all, had our behavior, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger––even as the rest,––  But, Yahweh, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,  Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ,––by favor, ye have been saved,––  And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ.” Therefore, every person needs to be rescued (saved) from the penalty of that sin. Romans 6:23 says: “For, the wages of sin, is death; but, Yahweh’s gift of favor, is life age–abiding, in Christ Yahshua our Lord.” Your sins have earned you death, but deliverance from the power of sin and death is available through the works of Christ.

How much will salvation cost me?
You must change Lordships. You are now the Lord and Master of your life. You must give up your master position and make Yahshua your Lord and Master. This entails obeying his commandments; bowing your knees to Yahweh and Yahshua and submitting to their will.   Salvation comes to you as a “gift.”  Romans 6:23 says, “the gift of Yahweh is life age-abiding.” And Romans 6:23 is not the only verse to call salvation a gift. In Romans 5:15-17, the word “gift” is used five times! You don’t work for a gift—it is freely given. The gift of salvation and life age-abiding is being offered to you simply because Yahweh desires your fellowship. He wants you to live with Him, too, but that is up to you—it is your decision. You can have life age-abiding through Christ if you so desire or you can choose age-abiding death.

How do I receive the free gift of Yahweh’s salvation?

Romans 10:9
That, if thou shalt confess the declaration with thy mouth––That Yahshua is, Lord, and shalt believe with thy heart––That, Yahweh, raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

Once you make Yahshua your Master, Romans 10:9 goes on to say that you are to believe in your heart that Yahweh raised Yahshua from among the dead. Once you have confessed with your mouth that Yahshua is your Lord and Master and believed in your heart that Yahweh raised him from among the dead, you are saved. Salvation, although a free-gift, is conditional upon one believing and acting upon Romans 10:9. Yahweh wants all men to be saved (1 Tim. 2:4), and He is offering salvation and spirit as a free gift.

Many verses in the New Testament show that salvation is easy to get and that you get it by believing, or trusting, in Yahshua. The Word of Yahweh often uses the phrase “having faith in Yahshua.” “Faith” is a biblical word that means “trust.” Thus, having faith in Yahshua simply means trusting in him, and thus trusting that his work is adequate for you to be saved. The following are just a few of the scriptures that clearly teach that salvation is by faith.

Romans 3:22
“…righteousness from Yahweh comes through faith in Yahshua Christ.” (Righteousness is the state of being right before Yahweh. When you confess that Christ is your Master and that he rose from among the dead, your sin is paid for and you are “right” with Yahweh, so the Word of Yahweh says that your “righteousness” comes by faith [trust] in Yahshua Christ. All saved people are righteous in Yahweh’s sight).

Romans 3:26
Yahweh “justifies those who have faith in Yahshua” (“Justifies” is a legal word. We are “just” in the sight of Yahweh because Yahshua has paid for our sin and there is no sin against us, so the Word of Yahweh calls us “justified.” A good way to remember the definition of “justified” is by thinking, it is “just if I had never sinned).

Romans 3:28
“…man is justified by faith.”

Romans 5:1
“…we have been justified by faith.”

Romans 9:30
“…righteousness that is by faith.”

Romans 10:4
“Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.”

Galatians 2:15
“We…know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Yahshua Christ.”

Yahweh makes it easy to be saved, to become a member of the Body of the Christ. Once, in his travels, the Apostle Paul was thrown in prison. A jailer asked Paul the most important question any human could ask: “What must I do to be saved” (Acts 16:30)? Paul’s answer was short and to the point: “Believe in the Lord Yahshua and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). The same is as true for you and me as it was for that jailer nearly 2000 years ago. If you make Yahshua your Master, you will be saved.

The Additional Benefits of becoming a Christian?
Yahweh and Christ will abide in you by way of spirit; “Yahshua answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him (Jn. 14:23, Eph. 2:22). Christians become members of the household of Yahweh (Eph. 2:19). They receive “power, after the holy spirit comes upon them, which enables them to do supernatural works (Acts 1:8). They also receive the “peace of Yahweh, which surpasses all understanding” (Phil. 4:7). Christians become members of a supernatural organism called the Body of the Christ. Christ becomes their Head, instructing them through out their lifetime in the ways of justice, righteousness and lovingkindness (1 Cor. 12:12). Christians receive the fruits of the spirit, which are love, joy, peace, long–suffering, graciousness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self–control (Gal. 5:23-24). A Christian can operate supernatural power by operating word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, energies of mighty works, prophesying, discriminations of spirits, tongues, and translation of tongues (1 Cor. 12:7-11). A Christian can become the hands, feet and mouth of Christ if they submit and act upon his instructions, which are given in the Word of Yahweh and by revelation.

Don’t I have to do some kind of work to be saved—get baptized, confess my sin, etc?
No. Christ paid for your salvation. It is offered as a gift. The Word of Yahweh says your salvation is a gift. It plainly states you get salvation by faith. It also specifically says that salvation is not earned by works:

Ephesians 2:8 and 9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of Yahweh—not by works, so that no one can boast.

This verse is very clear. It says that you have been saved by Yahweh’s grace through your faith. That means that when you have faith in Christ, Yahweh saves you by His grace (“grace” is undeserved favor from Yahweh). The verse goes on to say that salvation is a gift and that it is not by works. Titus 3:3-7 is also very instructive concerning our former nature and our present gifts and deliverance; “For, even we, used, at one time, to be––thoughtless, unyielding, deceived, in servitude unto manifold covetings and pleasures, in malice and envy, leading on, detestable, hating one another.  But, when, the graciousness and affection for man of our Savior Yahweh, shone forth,  Not by works which we had done in righteousness, but, according to His mercy, He saved us––through means of the bathing of a new birth, and the molding anew of holy spirit.––  Which he poured on us richly, through Yahshua Christ our Savior,  In order that, having been declared righteous by his favor, we should be made inheritors, according to hope, of life age–abiding.”

Many Christians do not realize that salvation is a gift of Yahweh’s grace and that it is “not by works.” They are taught that to be saved they must go to church or lead an almost perfect life with no drinking, dancing, etc. That is simply not what the Word of Yahweh says about salvation! No one can find a verse that says, “You must go to church to be saved,” because there is no such verse. Nor are there any verses that say that you must lead an almost perfect life to be saved. Salvation is a gift—you do not earn it by your works, you receive it by faith in Christ’s work.

There are many people doing good works who have never confessed that Yahshua is their Lord and who do not believe in his resurrection. Often they are taught that if you are a good person, Yahweh will give you life age-abiding. The Word of Yahweh is very clear that good works do not save you, as we have just read in Ephesians 2:8 and 9. It is wonderful to do good works or be a “good person,” but that does not get you saved. The Word of Yahweh says that the unsaved person is “dead in sin” (Eph. 2:1), and no one who is “dead” can do any good works. He must first receive life via the new birth, and then he can work for Yahweh. Don’t guess about how to get life age-abiding. Yahweh gave you His Word to openly show you the way of salvation, and Yahshua said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” You come to the Father only through Yahshua.

Do I lose my everlasting life if I sin after I have been saved?
We presently live in an age in which Christ is now seated at the right hand of Yahweh, the age where there is neither male or female, Gentile or Jew but all are one in Christ. People who are living in this age cannot get saved by doing good works, and they cannot undo their salvation if they sin. Their salvation is a free-gift from Yahweh. Yahweh never takes back His gift of salvation. The Word of Yahweh is very clear about this; “Not by works which we had done in righteousness, but, according to his mercy, he saved us––through means of the bathing of a new birth, and the molding anew of holy spirit.––Which he poured on us richly, through Yahshua Christ our Savior, In order that, having been declared righteous by his favour, we should be made inheritors, according to hope, of life age–abiding” (Titus 3:5-7).

Many people teach that if you sin, you lose your salvation and then you have to get saved all over again, but that is not true. Yahweh wants you to be absolutely sure that you cannot lose your salvation, so the Word of Yahweh emphasizes its permanence in many ways.As you have seen, salvation is called a “gift” over and over. A term for salvation is “born again” or “new birth” (1 Pet. 1:3 and 23). We all know that birth is permanent. Once I am born, I am a child of my mother and father forever. Even if I am a horrible kid and my parents really don’t like me, the birth is permanent. Yahweh wants Christians to know that He loves us and that we are His children no matter how we behave, so He uses the term “birth” to describe what happens to us when we are saved. Birth is a one-time occurrence that cannot be undone.

When you are saved, Yahweh gives you spirit. Because it is spirit, you can’t feel that it is within you, but it is Yahweh’s permanent seal in you claiming you as His child. Ephesians is very clear about getting saved by believing and then being sealed with spirit:

Ephesians 1:13 and 14
In whom, ye also––hearing the word of the truth, the glad–message of your salvation,––in whom also believing,––were sealed with the spirit of the promise, the holy. Which is an earnest of our inheritance...

Read those verses again. They are so rich. The Word of Yahweh says you are sealed with spirit, Yahweh’s gift. Therefore, you are sealed! Yahweh’s salvation does not “leak out” if you sin. You were sealed when you believed, and that seal is a “guarantee” of life age-abiding, your “inheritance.”

Because your salvation is permanent and you cannot lose it, Yahweh says you are His child! “Behold, what manner of love, the Father hath bestowed upon us––that, children of Yahweh, we should be called,––and such we are!” (1 John 3:1). Surely it cannot be that one day you are a child of Yahweh and the next day you aren’t. Yahweh chose to communicate to us in the words we use in our everyday speech, and we all know that children are a permanent addition to a family. No one has children in his family one day and then does not have them in the family the next day. The same is true for Yahweh’s family as for our human families. Yahweh calls you His child to make the point that you are permanently in His family. That is also why unbelievers are never called “children” of Yahweh—they are not part of the family.

Children have their father’s “seed” in them, and Christians are born of “incorruptible seed” (1 Pet. 1:23). The Word of Yahweh is very clear: If you are saved, you are born into Yahweh’s family, you are permanently a son or a daughter, you are sealed with holy spirit and Yahweh calls you a child of Yahweh.

Why should I stop sinning if I cannot lose my salvation?
First, anyone who lives a sinful life becomes a “slave to sin” (Rom. 6:16). Their fellowship with the Father is interrupted even though they are still His children. Yahweh is holy and he only communions with those who are holy.FN8 Sin takes its toll on the people committing the sin and on those who are in contact with them. Sin is like a contagious disease. It directly affects the carrier as it also spreads its harm to the innocent. The wages of sin is death. Christians should want to escape the tyranny of sin and desire justice, righteousness and lovingkindness.

Second, you are united to Christ, identified with him in the most intimate way possible. That is, you were crucified with him, you died with him, you were buried with him, raised with him from the dead, ascended with him and seated with him at the right hand of Yahweh (Rom. 6:1-10; Eph. 2:6). Being thus joined with Christ, why would you want to continue to be joined to sin in our day-to-day life; “for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Beliar? Or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement hath a shrine of Yahweh with idols? For, we, are the shrine of a God, that liveth:––even as Yahweh hath said––will dwell in them, and walk, and will be their God, and, they, shall be my people. Wherefore come ye forth out of their midst, and be separated,––saith Yahweh,––and, one impure, do not touch; and, I, will give you welcome, And will become your Father, and, ye, shall become my sons and daughters, saith Yahweh of Host” (2 Cor. 6:14-18).

Third, it is right and proper to thank the one who has given you a gift. Yahweh and His Son have given you the greatest gift of all—life age-abiding. The greatest gift you can give back is your life in service to them.

Fourth, how you live and serve in this life will determine how Yahweh will reward you in this life and in your future life. Christ is going to come back to earth and set up a kingdom (“The meek will inherit the earth”), and not every person in that kingdom will have the same rewards. Many verses attest to this truth:

Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man is destined to be coming, in the glory of his Father, with his messengers,––and, then, will he give back unto each one, according to his practice.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15
But, if anyone is building, upon the foundation––gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, Each one’s work, shall be made, manifest; for, the day, will make it plain, because, by fire, is it to be revealed,––and, each one’s work, of what sort it is, the fire itself will prove:–– If, anyone’s work, shall abide, which he built, a reward, shall he receive,–– If, anyone’s work, shall be burnt up, he shall suffer loss, but shall, himself, be saved––though, thus, as through fire.

2 Corinthians 5:10
For, we all, must needs be made manifest before the judgment seat of the Christ, that each one may get back the things done by means of the body, according to the things which he practised, whether good or corrupt.

Colossians 3:23-25
Whatsoever ye may be doing, from the soul, be working at it, as unto the Lord, and not unto men,–– Knowing that, from the Lord, ye shall duly receive the recompense of the inheritance,––unto the Lord Christ, are ye in service; For, he that acteth unrighteously, shall get back what he had unrighteously done, and there is no respect of persons;

There are many other verses like these that plainly say that Christians will be rewarded now and in the future kingdom of Christ for what they do for him. The Word of Yahweh exhorts you to work hard so that you will be richly rewarded now and in the future kingdom.

I’ve done so many terrible things in my life. Can I still be saved?
The Word of Yahweh is clear that every person has sinned. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of Yahweh.” When it comes to sin, Yahweh’s opinion of all people is the same: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks Yahweh. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one” (Rom. 3:10-12).

Yahweh is realistic about people—we are all sinners. The Word of Yahweh never makes a statement like “Christ died for everyone except murderers” or “Christ died for everyone except adulterers.” The Word of Yahweh states very clearly that Yahweh gave His Son so that “whoever believes in him will not perish, but have life age-abiding” (John 3:16).

The Apostle Paul described himself as “chief of sinners,” because he tortured Christians before becoming one himself. To him, he was as low as a human being can go morally. Paul is a wonderful example of the mercy and longsuffering of the Lord, for if a man like him can be saved, anyone can be.

When we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness then Yahweh is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse from all unrighteousness (1 Jn. 1:9).  Communion is then restored with our Father and our Lord. King David committed adultery and murder but he repented of his deeds and was forgiven (2 Sam. 12). King Manasseh lived a wicked life for fifty years, which included acts such as, “innocent blood, did Manasseh shed in great abundance, till he had filled Jerusalem, from one end to the other” (2 Kgs. 21:16). At the end of his reign he repented and Yahweh forgave him (2 Chr. 33:12-13). If David and Manasseh can be forgiven, so can you. Forgiveness is available to those who desire it.

Become a child of Yahweh; Receive all of the Benefits:
You will receive holy spirit, which is supernatural power.
You will become an heir of Yahweh and a joint heir with Christ (Rm. 8:17).
You will be justified before Yahweh.
You will be sanctified (that is, “made holy”) in Yahweh’s sight (1 Cor. 1:2).
You will be redeemed from the power of sin and death.
You will receive life age-abiding; Paradise is your future home!

These changes are very real and should powerfully influence how a Christian thinks and lives. But because these changes do not automatically affect a person’s behavior, each Christian has a decision to make. Are you going to believe what you see and feel (“Gee, I don’t feel righteous or holy, etc.”) or are you going to believe what Yahweh says in His Word? As a Christian, you must learn to “live by faith and not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). It is essential for good Christians to learn to trust what Yahweh says. For example, Yahweh says He loves you, and Yahweh’s love is real even if you don’t feel loved. The same goes for what Yahweh has made you to be in Christ and how He thinks about you. Yahweh made you righteous, holy, and justified even if you do not feel that way.

When you are saved, you are brought into Yahweh’s family. You become a child of Yahweh, are born again and sealed with holy spirit. However, your behavior does not usually change right away. Occasionally you hear of someone who, at the time he was saved, had a wonderful change in his life that Yahweh accomplished. For example, an alcoholic may have immediately given up alcohol. That kind of thing sometimes happens, but it is the exception, not the rule.

Yahweh gives instructions to His children. The Word of Yahweh says not to fornicate, lie, cheat or steal. It commands you not to commit adultery. It says to put away bitterness and revenge and instead to be patient, kind and loving. It says to be giving and to pray. There are many things the Word of Yahweh tells you so that you can lead a pure life. It takes time, effort and discipline to learn to keep the commands of Yahweh and live like a Christian. Many verses attest to this, and we will quote two:

Galatians 5:16-17
I say, moreover––by spirit, be walking, and, fleshly coveting, ye will in nowise fulfill;  For, the flesh, coveted against the spirit, but, the spirit, against the flesh,––for, these, unto one another, are opposed, lest, whatsoever things ye chance to desire, these, ye should be doing!

Romans 12:2
And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by Yahweh the good and acceptable and perfect.

You have to make up your mind to obey Yahweh and do what He says. If you don’t, you will listen to the “desires of your sinful nature” and miss out on His blessings. It is not always easy to keep the commands of Yahweh. Even the great Apostle Paul occasionally wrestled with his sinful nature and had a hard time (Rom. 7:14-20). You will not always succeed at keeping Yahweh’s commands, but He wants you to do your best. You will be rewarded at the Judgment for the things you do for Christ now. Changing the flesh is your job. Yahweh will help, but He can’t do it without you. The reason that so many Christians are “carnal Christians” is that they have never decided to go to war with their flesh and bring their body into obedient submission to the Word of Yahweh. These carnal Christians are still saved, but they are living like unbelievers.

Does the Word of Yahweh say what the next life will be like?
It certainly does. And it is unfortunate that, in many Christian Churches, tradition has for the most part hidden the truth about the future Yahweh reveals in His Word. Knowing about the future is supposed to motivate people to want to be saved, and motivate the saved to want to obey Yahweh. Most Christians believe that the saved will spend forever in “heaven,” a place somewhere up in the air. This contradicts the clear teaching of Yahshua and the Word of Yahweh. In one of the best known verses, Yahshua taught that “The meek shall inherit the earth” (Matt. 5:5).

Yahweh made the earth for people to live on and enjoy as He did with the Garden of Eden. The Word of Yahweh says that in the future there will be a new earth that will replace this earth that has been corrupted. It would not make sense for Yahweh to create a “new earth” if all the saved people were going to live in heaven. Yahweh has to make a new earth in the future because the one we live on now will be destroyed. Some of the things that the Word of Yahweh says about life on the future earth are:

The Messiah will rule over an age-abiding kingdom (Dan. 2:44; 7:13 and 14; Rev. 11:17).

The Messiah will rule from Jerusalem, from David’s throne (Isa. 9:7).

The wicked will be destroyed, but the meek will inherit the earth (Ps. 37:9-11; Ezek. 37:11,12; Dan. 12:2 and 3; Zeph. 3:8-12, Mal. 4:1).

The saved will know Yahweh (Isa. 29:23 and 24; Jer. 31:33 and 34; Ezek. 11:18-20, 1 Cor. 13:12).

There will be justice on earth (Isa. 2:4; 9:6 and 7; 11:1-5; 32:1,2,5,16 and 17; Jer. 23:5 and 6; 33:15).

There will be no war (Isa. 2:4; 9:4-7; Micah 4:3 and 4; Zech. 9:9-11; Hosea 2:18).

People will be healed of sickness and disease (Isa. 29:18; 32:3 and 4; 33:24; 35:5 and 6; Jer. 33:6; Mal. 4:2).

The people will live safely (Isa. 11:6-9; 32:18; 54:14-17; 60:15-18; 65:17-25; Jer. 23:4-6; 33:6; Ezek. 28:26; 34:25-31; Micah. 5:4 and 5; Zeph. 3:13-17).

The land will be healed and the deserts will bloom (Isa. 32:15; 35:1,2 and 7; 44:3; 51:3).

There will be an abundance of food (Isa. 25:6; 30:23-26; 35:1,6 and 7; 41:18-20; 51:3; Jer. 31:5,11-14; Ezek. 47:1-12; Hosea 2:21 and 22; Joel 2:19-26; 3:18; Amos 9:13).

The future life Yahweh offers is one of food, fun and fellowship. It is hard to imagine a life with no sickness, no war or fighting, no injustice, more food than we can eat and all the time in the world to enjoy each other and purposeful activity. Christians will get to enjoy that life—forever.

Yahweh is offering you everything you have always wanted in this life but just can’t seem to get, and all you have to do to get it is to accept His free gift of salvation through Yahshua Christ.

What happens to me if I do not make Yahshua my Lord and Master?
The Word of Yahweh says that “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). Christ will judge every person who has ever lived. Those who have made him their Master and Lord will receive everlasting life. They will be rewarded according to the good works that they have done (2 Cor. 5:10; Col. 3:23-25; 1 Thess. 4:6; 2 Tim. 2:12; 1 John 2:28). Those who have not accepted Christ because they have not heard of him or his work will be judged righteously according to his wisdom and their works. Those who will not bow to Yahshua and make him their Lord will perish; be thrown into the lake of fire, which is called the second death (Rev. 21:15). (They are dead and not alive being tortured in a place called hell.) So the choice you have is either to receive life or death; “I call to witness against you today, the heavens and the earth, that life and death, have I set before thee, the blessing and the curse,––therefore shouldest thou choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed” (Deu. 30:19).

It is a common teaching in Christianity that the unsaved will burn forever, but that cannot be true, for then everyone would have everlasting life (albeit of poor quality). The Word of Yahweh is clear that only the saved have life age-abiding. The wicked will receive the wages of their sin—death. There are many verses that say the wicked will be destroyed or perish.

What you have written is hard for me to believe. What do I do now?
Keep seeking. Yahweh promises that if you ask, He will answer. This is a small article, and so obviously it cannot cover everything. Get a literal Bible, such as the Emphasized Rotherham Bible and read it for yourself. We must accept the fact that we are unyielding, thoughtless and deceived before we can improve our present state. The Word of Yahweh is the truth and it will set you free!

Suggested first time readings in the Bible, which consist of only 70 pages. Read them in this order: Gospel of Luke, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and 1 Thessalonians.
