Because that alone justifies us being kept alive (“justification of life” – Rom 5:18), because all, being dead in their sin (“sin is the sting of death”), are “condemned already” “because they have not believed in the Name of the only Begotten Son of God” and the redemption which is in His Blood, even the forgiveness of sin, and therefore are not “learning of Him” to do the Truth to come into the light (Matt 11:29,30; Jn 3:16-21; Rom 5:12; 2 Cor 5:14).
They have rejected God’s merciful offer of the Presence and power of His Holy Spirit, to teach and lead them to establish them in HIS righteousness, to be true sons (b’nei B’rit) of His “Everlasting Covenant” (Jn 1:12; Heb 12; 13:20,21).
They are therefore vulnerable to the curse of “the law of sin and death,” for failing to “Hear” and follow His Son, the Messiah – the Prophet pre-announced by Moses (Deut 18:18,19), to accept Divine Protection beneath the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91).
As “seed of ABRAHAM,” “in Christ (the Messiah)” (Gal 3:27-29), it is “in ISAAC” and “in (and amongst the eternal House of) JACOB” (Gen 12:3; 28:14; Ps 59:13; Jer 31:31-34; Lk 1:33; Rom 9:7; 11:17-29; Eph 2:11,12,15,19; 3:6) whose natural offspring (descendants of the Twelve Tribes) are entrusted with the ‘repair of the world’ and ‘improvement of the Universe’ (‘tikkun ha olam’) under the righteous rule and holy ordinances of “the God of Jacob,” that WE from the nations get to partake of the promise of that great coming “restoration of ALL things” not by human effort but by the power of God’s Spirit (Jer 33:25; Ps 104:30; Acts 3:19-21), by accepting the “everlasting salvation” which is “of the Jews” (Is 45:17-25; Jn 4:22; Rom 9:4,5; Phil 2).
God Himself will “destroy those who destroy the earth” (Rev 11:18).
“It isn’t MAN’S green agenda, but THIS clean, powerful, Holy Conservation Agenda for the redemption of Creation from its defilement by the weight of mankind’s sin (Is 24:3-6; Rom 8:18-22), that the authentic seventh day Shabbat of the Ten Commandments (the Memorial of Creation and of the new birth; and the Rehearsal of the Wedding Supper of the Lamb) celebrates, as the “everlasting covenant sign between the God of the Hebrews and ourselves” (Ex 31:13,16), that He (the only living God – Deut 4:39; Is 44:24) has sanctified the House of Jacob for the renovation of the millennial earth for the second Kingdom of David (Mk 11:10; Lk 1:32), and for stewardship of the New Earth which will be the home of “everlasting righteousness” to fulfil all prophecy, “when there shall be no more curse” (Dan 9:24; Is 66:22-24; Rev 22:3,4).
So “labour to enter” the Shabbat portal to YHVH’s limitless understanding (Ps 25:10,14) and remain under His shadow, at peace, undisturbed in the unrivalled joy and contentment of the one and only blessed, sanctified, ABSOLUTE REST (Gen 2:2,3; Ex 20:8-11Is 58:13; Heb 4:4-11) that makes Jn 14:20-23 real when we give undivided attention to the weighty Presence of the LORD of Shabbat (Mk 2:27,28; Jn 14:21-23).
Abide in the Vine through the Sabbath commandment (Is 56:6; Jn 15:3-14) and experience the glory of the unique sanctity of Shabbat’s special quality of time, to marvel at “so great a salvation” that has the perfect plan to return Creation to its pristine former purity and beauty, when the earth was YOUNG and fresh, and when there was no death, because man was UNDEFILED (Rom 5:12,17,18), and no need existed for the shedding of blood for the remission of sins, to make man upright before his Creator (Heb 3:1-3)
There’s so much at stake. None of us should fail to enter in through Y’shua-Jesus, the Door, into eternal life and stewardship of eternity as heirs of God (Rom 8:17).
None of us should WITHHOLD our lives from the Good Shepherd (2 Cor 5:14,15,21) Who gave His Life as a Ransom for us all, for us to be free from the power of sin (Rom 8:3,4), to live for righteousness, with Him, forever (1 Peter 2:21-25; Rev 1:4-6)
John 10:9-11 King James Version
9 I am the Door: by Me (Y’shua-Jesus), if any man enter in, he SHALL BE SAVED, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep
