His way or our way?

I have studied this over and over again, and here is what I have been shown by God through prayer and study. That He sent Jesus(Yeshua), not to take the law away, but to give us a way other than sacrifices for salvation! Because we couldnt do it then, for salvation, and we still can't work our way into heaven!!!  We don't have to keep Torah(Laws of instruction) for salvation, we do it because we HAVE salvation through Him and we LOVE him. But that faith without works is a dead faith!!! We need to have faith in Him and then do works to "show" that we love him, because He is a jealous God the Bible tells us, and it's  how He told us to worship Him. It's not just saying some words, and poof! your a christian! You have to act like one everyday every time, every situation! The only thing that is different from non Christians, is that you will not have to "pay for your works by death, and having that decide whether you go UP(heaven) or DOWN(to hell, it is a place you know....).....Let's just say, your kids have to follow your rules at home, right? Unless they do it out of  love(which sometimes happens),then, disobedience to your rules would equal punishment! right?  So ,we keep the laws of instruction for living (Torah) because we love Him.

Its what the Bible means by being a "set apart and holy people". To follow His ways not the ways of our own thinking and reasoning, because by birth we are all sinners and have not one good thing in our bodies, we lie, cheat, steal, hurt, say cuss words, take His name in vain, talk behind other's backs, mill in other's business, etc etc.....so since we all have done those things or at least some of them (and those aren't even the really bad ones), then none of us is good, only God. That is why we need to believe in Him and serve him by keeping His laws and commandments for blessings and goodness in our lives, families and marriages. Remember the Devil believes in God too, so don't think if you just "think God is nice, and  go to church every sunday" that is good enough, because it doesn't do it, according to the Bible. You have to repent of all your sins, trying not to repeat them, but acknowledging that Yeshua (Jesus) will be Lord of your life, and take away those things that you don't like about yourself. He is a Holy and Just God, to serve Him in His heaven we have to be "white as snow " too, the only way you can do that is being "born again" by water(birth) and by spirit (Jesus), accepting his free gift of salvation here on earth, for when you die. Period, its that simple!!   you just have to be willing to give up your worldly and fleshly desires and strive to be holy ,just as He is holy. Trust me, that is not easy to do , as I said I'm not perfect.

I am not legalistic, though, I try not to break the commandments and laws, but I know I am a sinner saved by grace, and I am not perfect. Only God and Messiah are/were perfect!  We do have to live in the world, but we are to be set apart in the world. God does not want us to follow the rules of the world, that is why he gave us Torah all those years ago, to help us and show us what he expects. No one can keep them all perfectly, he looks at our hearts, and as most Christians that I have known, are like " hey , I accepted Jesus, and my heart is pure, so I don't need those rules anymore" WELL, the total summation of the law is to "love God with your whole heart, mind, soul and heart", and love your neighbor as yourself." If you aren't even trying to follow the commandments and teachings of the Torah, then how is that showing love for God or your fellow man/woman?  

God is full of love, but HE isn't liking some of the things that are going on in this world. Look around you, wars, disease, things going awry, government problems, financial disasters and why you say?....If you look back in the Bible, even though sometimes, there were tests , good and bad times, those that followed God's way, were secure and taken care of and blessed! Those that didn't, got punished and were cursed. Which side are you on?

We have decided to "not take away from or add to the Bible" as it says not to do, and we have decided  to Love our God the way HE wants us to worship Him in Love and Truth. Because He is God and we are not. We cannot decide how we will worship Him, as he has described it in the Bible many times, all the same ways. Do not have other Gods! Do not follow the way of the Gentiles(unbelievers), do away with their altars and worship practices!! He is a jealous God and it's His way or Hell's way...where will you end up when the Day of the Lord comes? If you aren't sure or don't know, now is the time to begin asking, don't ya think??. BTW, nothing I have said here is of my own opinion. It is straight from the word of God! (the most sold book in the history of the world!) Look it up, research for yourself.  Don't take my word for it!!!  You want blessings or curses? Think about it! When we start to worship the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, the way HE wants to be worshiped, you won't be able to "keep" all the blessings He will give you (btw, that's in the Bible too).
