First and foremost I am not the judge of anyone not even myself. Second these are my personal beliefs you can agree or disagree with them it's okay no matter what you choose.
While I agree that Yahushuah crusified His flesh for our sins and that He is the gateway to Abba Yahuah I disagree that I am automatically saved and going to heaven without producing fruit in this life with my works and walking to the best of my ability according to Yahushuah's teaching and here's why...
Based on my personal experience. To me saying you are saved only elevates YOU not Father. It brings out pride in people because of the belief that everyone else is wrong if they don't believe in the Messiah. Hear me out first.
No one is worthy of entering heaven because we are all sinners and fall short daily. If we are to walk with Yahushuah as He did it requires us to have faith and through this faith you produce work naturally. It's not something you think about separately... Your works is an automatic response to how you walk with Yahushuah. A change in your behavior and the way you interact with others.
Faith without works is Dead. And so is Works without Faith.
Yahushuah told the parable of the young man who was beaten and robbed and then left for Dead. Two people of "Faith" passed him by. Until finally a good Samaritan took pity on him and took him to an inn and took care of him.
This showcases the fact that Yahushuah was telling us to show your Faith by your works therefore producing fruit.
He also said love your enemy and if they are hungry give them something to eat and if they are thirsty give them something to drink. If this is not showcasing works as well...
But here's the thing you are never obligated to help another. You naturally gravitate to help another when you walk according to Yahushuah's teachings.
That produces fruit as in the parable of the vine and branches.
John 15:5-8
[5]“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
[6]If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
[7]If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
[8]This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
To bear fruit you have to remain in Yahushuah.
Another verse in Scripture said by Yahushuah Himself was when He spoke about separating the goats and the sheep. Telling the sheep that they feed Him, they gave Him drink when He was thirsty and that what they did to the least of His brethren they did to Him.
IT is vitally important to do works in order for you to produce fruit naturally...
Let us not forget the fig tree that Yahushuah withered because it wasn't producing fruit... An image of the truth about producing fruit in us...
Again He tells His disciples to be careful about false teachers and how you may ask will you recognize them??? BY THEIR FRUIT....
You can read the Bible great preach the word all you want but at the end of the day if your preaching doesn't align with your actions is useless to be honest...
Satan knows Scripture better than anyone and he twisted it when he was testing Yahushuah in the wilderness...
The Bible as it is today is not 100% perfect. While it has Father's words it has been manipulated by Satan... There are things Father allows in order to test us...This is also my belief why Yahushuah spoke in parables and why the religious scholars and pharacies didn't understand...
If you have Faith and pass by someone in need what fruit does it produce? In the same respect if you give to those in need and then boast about it what fruit does it produce?
Now as for me I'm homeless but that doesn't give me a free pass to not help another brother or sister who is in need. If I have food that I can give I will give and even what little funds I have in my possession I will give if I feel led in the moment. I have to produce fruit too through my actions as well. I'm not better than anyone to claim I'm getting in to heaven and you are not. It's wrong because I'm judging myself and I'm judging you deciding myself for Father who gets in and who doesn't.
It's not something to be sad about no one is guaranteed to get in to heaven. But do your best to walk according to Yahushuah's teachings and produce fruit honoring Father and surely you will have the best chance to enter heaven.
It's in your intentions and the fruit you produce. Humbling ourselves to realize we not worthy because we are sinners. Yahushuah is our defender in a court room of which Satan is the accuser. Your works will speak for themselves in this court room.
Your works are not to be separate from you. For example you see someone walking up to a door clearly carrying a bunch of things in their hands. Now your initial instinct is to offer to help or open the door for them. That is works with Faith because if you were in their situation you would want the same thing.
Now what you don't want to do is to hold the door open and then tell everyone on the street you just held the door open for someone who needed it... You'll get weird looks...
The point is the first person thought about what they would want someone to do for them and took the initiative and did it for someone else while in the second example they helped to gain something out of it like "Great Job"...
I rest my case you can agree or disagree with me but regardless it's my personal opinion and belief that no one can convince me otherwise.
Well there you have it...
Much Love
