Christianity: A Lawless Religion Rejecting the Torah

Updated: Dec 11, 2024

The call to "Come out of her, My people" is Elohim’s urgent plea for His people to leave behind the spiritual deception and rebellion rooted in Babylon. This system of false worship has infiltrated mainstream religion, replacing Elohim’s Torah with lawlessness and human traditions. Many will reject this truth, blinded by the delusions of the lawless one. Yet, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will you remain in Babylon, sharing in her judgment, or will you answer Elohim’s call to return to His covenant and eternal commandments? The choice is yours, but the time to decide is now. Break free and walk in truth. "Come Out of Her, My People: Exposing Mystery Babylon, Rejecting Lawlessness, and Returning to Elohim’s Torah" Many will not like what you are about to read. The truth is sharp and uncompromising, and it demands a response. The call to “Come out of her, My people” is not just an ancient cry; it is Elohim’s urgent plea for His people to separate from false worship and rebellion that has its roots in Babylon. Unfortunately, most will reject this message, dismissing it as unnecessary or offensive. Many will become combative and attempt to attack this. Why? Because they are under the strong delusion described in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, blinded by the lawless one and content with man-made traditions. This is a call to wake up, to see the deception, and to align with Elohim’s eternal truth. Will you heed the call, or will you remain in Babylon, sharing in her sins and judgment? Christianity: A Lawless Religion Rejecting the Torah and Following the Spirit of Rebellion Mainstream Christianity has fundamentally diverged from the faith, practice and teachings established by Y’shu’ah HaMashiach and His apostles. By rejecting the Torah, embracing lawlessness, and incorporating pagan practices, Christianity aligns itself with the spirit of rebellion, often referred to in Scripture as the "lawless one." We will delve deeper into the evidence of Christianity’s divergence, the Hebraic foundations of the original faith, and the Scriptural call to return to obedience under Elohim’s eternal Torah.

 

Mainstream Christianity, as practiced today, has abandoned the Torah—the divine instructions given by Elohim—and replaced them with human traditions, pagan customs, and a distorted understanding of grace. This rejection of Torah has led to the rise of lawlessness, aligning Christianity with the spirit of rebellion described in Scripture as the "lawless one." To truly understand the depth of this deviation, we must explore the Hebraic foundations of the faith, the ways Christianity has diverged, and the Biblical call to return to Elohim’s eternal commandments.

 

1. The Hebraic Foundations of True Faith

The Purpose of the Torah

The Torah (תּוֹרָה), often translated as “law,” more accurately means “instruction” or “teaching.” It is Elohim’s revealed guide for living in righteousness, holiness, and covenantal relationship with Him.

  • Deuteronomy 6:24-25:

“And Yahuah commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear Yahuah our Elohim, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day. Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before Yahuah our Elohim, as He has commanded us.”

The Torah was given for the benefit of humanity, to lead Elohim’s people into lives of blessing, protection, and righteousness.

  • Psalm 19:7-8:

“The Torah of Yahuah is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of Yahuah is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of Yahuah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Yahuah is pure, enlightening the eyes.”

The Torah is not a burden but a perfect expression of Elohim’s will, designed to transform and guide His people.

 

The Everlasting Covenant

Elohim’s covenant with His people is inseparable from the Torah. It is through the Torah that the terms of the covenant are expressed and maintained.

  • Exodus 19:5-6:

“Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

Elohim’s covenant with Yisra’el was never intended to be replaced or annulled. Instead, it was to be fulfilled and expanded to include Gentiles who would join the covenant through faith in Y’shu’ah HaMashiach.

  • Isaiah 56:6-7:

“Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to Yahuah, to serve Him, and to love the name of Yahuah, to be His servants—everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast My covenant—Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

The Torah is the foundation of this covenant, and its commandments are eternal, as stated repeatedly in the Scriptures.

  • Psalm 119:89:

“Forever, O Yahuah, Your word is settled in heaven.”

  • Isaiah 40:8:

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our Elohim stands forever.”

 

Y’shu’ah’s Role in Restoring the Torah

Y’shu’ah HaMashiach came not to abolish the Torah but to fulfill it by bringing it to its full meaning and demonstrating its proper application.

  • Matthew 5:17-19:

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the Torah till all is fulfilled.”

The word “fulfill” (Greek: plēroō) means to “fill to the brim” or “complete,” not to abolish. Y’shu’ah magnified the Torah, showing its deeper intent.

  • Isaiah 42:21:

“Yahuah is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake; He will magnify the Torah and make it honorable.”

Y’shu’ah lived in perfect obedience to the Torah, setting an example for all who follow Him. His teachings emphasized the spirit of the Torah, calling believers to go beyond mere outward observance and embody its principles in their hearts.

  • John 14:15:

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

  • 1 John 2:6:

“He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

 

The Faith of the First-Century Believers

The first-century assembly (ekklesia) of Y’shu’ah did not abandon the Torah. Instead, they upheld it, understanding that faith in Y’shu’ah brought them into deeper covenant relationship with Elohim.

  • Acts 21:20:

“You see, brother, how many myriads of Yahudim there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Torah.”

  • Romans 3:31:

“Do we then make void the Torah through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.”

The apostles and early believers practiced the Torah while proclaiming the good news of Y’shu’ah, showing that the two were not in conflict but in perfect harmony.

 

2. Christianity’s Rejection of Torah

Mainstream Christianity, over centuries, has systematically rejected the Torah, replacing Elohim’s commandments with man-made doctrines and traditions. This rejection is the very definition of lawlessness (anomia).

 

The Spirit of Lawlessness

Lawlessness is a rejection of Elohim’s instructions and a refusal to submit to His authority. It is the defining characteristic of rebellion.

  • 1 John 3:4:

“Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.”

Y’shu’ah warned against those who would claim to follow Him but reject His commandments:

  • Matthew 7:21-23:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

Lawlessness is not merely the absence of rules but active rebellion against Elohim’s Torah. Mainstream Christianity embodies this rebellion by teaching that the Torah is “done away with.”

 

Misinterpreting Sha’ul’s (Paul's) Writings

Christianity often misuses Sha’ul’s letters to justify rejecting the Torah. However, Sha’ul himself affirmed its enduring validity.

  • Romans 7:12:

“Therefore the Torah is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.”

  • 1 Timothy 1:8-9:

“But we know that the Torah is good if one uses it lawfully.”

Sha’ul’s writings were twisted even in his own time, as Kepha (Peter) noted:

  • 2 Peter 3:15-16:

“…as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.”

The claim that Sha’ul taught the abolition of the Torah is a gross misinterpretation.

 

Replacing Elohim’s Commandments with Traditions

Christianity replaced the Torah with traditions rooted in paganism, leading to a counterfeit faith that bears little resemblance to the Hebraic foundations of Y’shu’ah’s teachings.

 

Christianity’s Divergence from Torah and Alignment with Lawlessness

In the first part, we established that mainstream Christianity has abandoned the Torah and replaced it with traditions rooted in rebellion against Elohim’s commandments. In this continuation, we will dive deeper into specific practices and historical shifts, the role of the lawless one, the consequences of lawlessness, and the Scriptural call to repentance and restoration.

 

3. The Historical Divergence: Constantine and the Rise of Lawless Christianity

Constantine’s Role in Shaping Modern Christianity

The transformation of faith in Y’shu’ah into a state-sanctioned religion under Emperor Constantine in the 4th century marked a significant departure from its Hebraic roots.

  • The Council of Nicaea (325 CE):

    • Constantine, a Roman emperor with strong ties to pagan traditions, convened the Council of Nicaea. This council established doctrines that deliberately distanced Christianity from the Hebraic practices of the Torah.

    • One notable decision was the rejection of the Biblical calendar. The celebration of Passover, commanded in the Torah, was replaced with Easter, a festival tied to pagan fertility rites.

  • Sunday Worship: Constantine officially instituted Sunday as the day of worship, aligning it with the Roman day dedicated to the sun god (Sol Invictus). This decision ignored the Biblical Sabbath, which Elohim established as the seventh day of rest (Exodus 20:8-11).

Daniel 7:25:“He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law.”

Constantine’s reforms fulfilled this prophetic warning by altering Elohim’s appointed times and laws.

 

Pagan Practices Incorporated into Christianity

The blending of pagan customs with Biblical faith created a counterfeit religion that retained little of the original teachings of Y’shu’ah and His apostles.

  1. Christmas:

    • The celebration of Y’shu’ah’s birth on December 25th is rooted in the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a celebration of the sun god.

    • Scripture does not command the observance of Y’shu’ah’s birth, and this practice distracts from the Biblical feasts, particularly Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles), which prophetically aligns with His first and second coming (Zechariah 14:16-19).

  2. Easter:

    • Easter replaces Passover, the Biblical feast that commemorates Y’shu’ah’s death and resurrection.

    • Easter incorporates fertility symbols, such as eggs and rabbits, tied to the worship of Ishtar, a pagan goddess. This distorts the prophetic significance of Y’shu’ah as the Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7-8).

  3. Icons and Statues:

    • The veneration of icons and statues in many Christian traditions mirrors pagan idol worship, violating the second commandment (Exodus 20:4-5).

 

4. Christianity’s Alignment with the Lawless One

The Spirit of Rebellion

The spirit of lawlessness, described in Scripture, is characterized by rebellion against Elohim’s commandments. This spirit is embodied in the "lawless one," who leads people away from the truth of Torah.

  • 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 8-10:

“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim or that is worshiped... And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom Y’shu’ah will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders.”

The rejection of Torah aligns Christianity with this rebellion, leading millions astray into a counterfeit faith.

 

The Falling Away

The "falling away" (Greek: apostasia) described by Sha’ul represents a departure from the truth of Elohim’s Word. This falling away began with the rejection of Torah and the adoption of man-made doctrines.

  • Isaiah 24:5:

“The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torah, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.”

This defilement is evident in the practices of mainstream Christianity, which have replaced Biblical obedience with traditions that lead to spiritual confusion and compromise.

 

5. Consequences of Lawlessness

Spiritual Deception

The rejection of Torah has led to widespread deception within Christianity, where grace is misused as a license to sin.

  • Jude 1:4:

“For certain men have crept in unnoticed... ungodly men, who turn the grace of our Elohim into lewdness and deny the only Master Elohim and our Master Y’shu’ah HaMashiach.”

Grace does not nullify the Torah but empowers believers to walk in obedience.

  • Romans 6:1-2:

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?”

 

Judgment for Lawlessness

Scripture warns that those who practice lawlessness will face judgment.

  • Matthew 7:21-23:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

 

6. The Call to Repentance and Restoration

Elohim calls all people to repent and return to His Torah, aligning their lives with His commandments and the testimony of Y’shu’ah HaMashiach.

  • Acts 3:19-21:

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of Yahuah, and that He may send Y’shu’ah HaMashiach, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which Elohim has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.”

  • Revelation 12:17:

“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of Elohim and have the testimony of Y’shu’ah HaMashiach.”

 

7. Practical Steps to Return to Covenant Faithfulness

  1. Study the Torah: Begin by studying the first five books of the Bible, where Elohim’s instructions are detailed.

  2. Observe the Sabbath: Honor the seventh-day Sabbath as commanded in Exodus 20:8-11.

  3. Celebrate Elohim’s Feasts: Embrace the Biblical feasts outlined in Leviticus 23, which reveal Elohim’s redemptive plan.

  4. Reject Pagan Practices: Abandon traditions rooted in paganism and align with Biblical worship.

  5. Walk in Y’shu’ah’s Example: Follow Y’shu’ah’s teachings and life as the model for obedience to Elohim.

 

The Urgency of Returning to Torah

Mainstream Christianity’s rejection of Torah has led to spiritual lawlessness, aligning it with the spirit of rebellion described in Scripture. The true faith of Y’shu’ah HaMashiach calls believers back to covenant obedience, walking in Elohim’s commandments and embracing the truth of His Word.

Elohim’s Torah is eternal, His commandments are righteous, and His call to repentance is urgent. Only by returning to the foundations of Torah and the testimony of Y’shu’ah can believers align with Elohim’s will and prepare for the restoration of all things.

"Come Out of Her, My People": A Call to Leave False Worship and the Mystery Babylonian System

The phrase “Come out of her, My people,” found in Revelation 18:4, is a prophetic and urgent call for Elohim’s people to separate themselves from the spiritual and religious systems that originate from Babylon—systems rooted in false worship, idolatry, and rebellion against Elohim’s truth. These systems have infiltrated the world’s religions, including mainstream Christianity, perpetuating practices and doctrines that are contrary to the Torah and the teachings of Y’shu’ah HaMashiach.

 

1. Understanding the Mystery of Babylon

The Origin of Babylon

The concept of Babylon as a source of false worship and rebellion originates in Genesis:

  • The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9):


    Humanity united to build a tower “to reach the heavens,” symbolizing defiance against Elohim’s authority. Elohim confused their language and scattered them, yet the seeds of this rebellion spread across the earth.

Babylon (or Babel) became a metaphor for human pride, idolatry, and a system of religion that opposes Elohim.

  • Isaiah 47:8-10:


    Babylon is described as the "queen of kingdoms," embodying arrogance and false security.

 

The Mystery Babylon of Revelation

In Revelation, Babylon symbolizes a spiritual system that encompasses false religion, idolatry, and corruption:

  • Revelation 17:3-5:

“And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy... And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

Mystery Babylon represents a religious system that seduces nations into spiritual adultery, leading them away from Elohim’s commandments.

 

Characteristics of Mystery Babylon

  1. Idolatry and False Worship:

    • Babylon is characterized by the worship of man-made gods, blending truth with lies to create a counterfeit religion.

    • Jeremiah 50:38:

“A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up. For it is the land of carved images, and they are insane with their idols.”

  1. Economic and Political Corruption:

    • Babylon’s influence extends to the world’s economic and political systems, promoting greed, oppression, and immorality.

    • Revelation 18:3:

“For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

  1. Spiritual Adultery:

    • Babylon is described as the mother of harlots, indicating her role in spreading spiritual unfaithfulness.

    • Ezekiel 16:30-33:


      Elohim compares spiritual rebellion to harlotry, where His people forsake Him for other gods.

 

2. Babylonian Influence on Modern Religion

The false worship originating in Babylon has deeply influenced the world’s religions, including mainstream Christianity, perpetuating practices that are contrary to Torah.

Adoption of Pagan Practices

Many traditions celebrated in Christianity have origins in Babylonian paganism:

  1. Christmas:

    • Rooted in the Roman festival Saturnalia and the worship of the sun god.

    • Jeremiah 10:2-4 warns against adopting pagan customs such as decorating trees.

  2. Easter:

    • Derived from fertility rites honoring the goddess Ishtar.

    • This replaces the Biblical celebration of Passover, which commemorates Y’shu’ah’s death and resurrection.

  3. Sunday Worship:

    • Instituted by Constantine in alignment with the worship of the sun god, replacing the Biblical Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11).

 

Replacement Theology

Mystery Babylon’s influence is evident in the development of replacement theology, which falsely teaches that the "church" has replaced Yisra’el as Elohim’s covenant people. This doctrine contradicts Scripture:

  • Romans 11:1-2:

“I say then, has Elohim cast away His people? Certainly not!”

Replacement theology rejects Elohim’s eternal covenant with Yisra’el, leading to lawlessness and spiritual confusion.

 

3. The Call to Come Out of Babylon

Separation from False Worship

Elohim calls His people to separate from Babylon and her practices, rejecting anything that opposes His commandments:

  • Revelation 18:4:

“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.’”

This call is not just physical separation but spiritual and moral separation, rejecting all forms of false worship.

  • 2 Corinthians 6:17:

“Come out from among them and be separate, says Yahuah. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.”

 

Returning to Torah

The path out of Babylon is a return to the Torah, Elohim’s eternal instructions for holy living:

  • Jeremiah 6:16:

“Thus says Yahuah: ‘Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.’”

Returning to Torah involves rejecting Babylonian customs and aligning with Elohim’s commandments and appointed times (Leviticus 23).

 

4. The Judgment of Babylon

Babylon’s rebellion will not go unpunished. Scripture foretells her destruction:

  • Revelation 18:21:

“Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.”

Elohim’s judgment on Babylon will be swift and total, bringing an end to her influence over nations.

 

5. Practical Steps to Come Out of Babylon

  1. Study Elohim’s Word:

    • Return to the Torah as the foundation of truth, rejecting doctrines and traditions that contradict it.

  2. Observe the Biblical Feasts:

    • Celebrate Elohim’s appointed times (Leviticus 23) instead of man-made holidays.

  3. Honor the Sabbath:

    • Keep the seventh-day Sabbath as a sign of covenant faithfulness (Exodus 31:13).

  4. Reject Pagan Practices:

    • Remove all elements of false worship from your life, including symbols and traditions rooted in idolatry.

  5. Walk in Obedience:

    • Follow Y’shu’ah’s example by living in accordance with Elohim’s commandments (John 14:15).

 

6. The Hope of Redemption

Elohim’s call to “Come out of her” is not just a warning but an invitation to redemption. Those who heed this call will be part of His covenant people, walking in holiness and truth:

  • Revelation 12:17:

“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of Elohim and have the testimony of Y’shu’ah HaMashiach.”

 

A Call to Action

The call to “Come out of her, My people” is a call to reject false worship and return to Elohim’s covenant. Babylon represents a spiritual system of rebellion, idolatry, and deception that has permeated the world’s religions. To align with Elohim, we must separate from these systems and walk in obedience to His Torah.

This is a time of decision. Will you remain in Babylon, sharing in her sins and judgment, or will you heed Elohim’s call and embrace His truth? The choice is clear, and the time is now. Come out of her, and be set apart for Yahuah. Walking as Y’shu’ah Walked: Following His Example and Paul’s Faithful Path

We are called to walk as Y’shu’ah (יהושׁוּע) walked, for He is the perfect example of righteousness, obedience, and covenant faithfulness. Scripture clearly outlines His life and teachings as the standard for all believers. Sha’ul (Paul), one of His most devoted followers, also exhorted believers to follow him as he followed Y’shu’ah, providing a practical example of how to live out Y’shu’ah’s teachings.

1. How Did Y’shu’ah Walk?

A Life Rooted in the Torah

Y’shu’ah lived in complete obedience to the Torah, Elohim’s divine instructions, embodying its principles in every aspect of His life.

  • Obedience to the Torah:

    • Matthew 5:17-19:

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”

  • Y’shu’ah magnified the Torah, clarifying its true intent and purpose.

  • He observed the commandments, including keeping the Sabbath (Luke 4:16), honoring the Biblical feasts (John 7:10-14), and upholding dietary laws.

  • Teaching Elohim’s Truth:

    • Y’shu’ah consistently taught Elohim’s Word, challenging man-made traditions that contradicted the Torah:

      • Matthew 15:3-6:

“Why do you also transgress the commandment of Elohim because of your tradition?”

  • He called people back to the foundational truths of Scripture, emphasizing repentance and obedience.

Compassionate Service and Love

Y’shu’ah demonstrated selfless love, serving others and showing compassion to the marginalized.

  • Mark 10:45:

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

  • Healing and Miracles:

    Y’shu’ah healed the sick, fed the hungry, and comforted the brokenhearted, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy (Isaiah 61:1-2).

A Call to Repentance

Y’shu’ah’s ministry centered on calling people to repentance (teshuvah) and returning to covenant obedience.

  • Mark 1:14-15:

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

Faithful to the Covenant

Y’shu’ah upheld Elohim’s covenant with Yisra’el, calling people to walk in righteousness and holiness.

  • John 14:15:

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

2. How Did Sha’ul (Paul) Walk?

Sha’ul, also known as Paul, followed Y’shu’ah’s example by living in obedience to the Torah, proclaiming the good news of Y’shu’ah, and faithfully serving Elohim.

Sha’ul’s Adherence to the Torah

Despite misconceptions, Sha’ul did not reject the Torah but upheld it, emphasizing its role in guiding believers.

  • Romans 3:31:

“Do we then make void the Torah through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the Torah.”

  • Acts 24:14:

“But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Torah and in the Prophets.”

Sha’ul continued to observe the Torah, including the feasts (Acts 20:16), the Sabbath (Acts 13:14, 17:2), and vows prescribed in the Torah (Acts 21:23-26).

Sha’ul’s Proclamation of Y’shu’ah

Sha’ul boldly proclaimed Y’shu’ah as the promised Messiah, calling both Yahudim and Gentiles to repentance and faith.

  • 1 Corinthians 11:1:

“Imitate me, just as I also imitate Messiah.”

  • Galatians 2:20:

“I have been crucified with Messiah; it is no longer I who live, but Messiah lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of Elohim.”

Sha’ul emphasized that faith in Y’shu’ah did not abolish the Torah but brought believers into alignment with it through the Spirit.

Sha’ul’s Suffering for the Faith

Sha’ul endured persecution and hardship as a faithful servant of Elohim, modeling steadfastness in trials.

  • 2 Corinthians 11:23-28:

“Are they ministers of Messiah?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often... besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the assemblies.”

Sha’ul’s dedication reflects his total commitment to walking as Y’shu’ah walked, even at great personal cost.

3. Walking as They Walked

Follow Y’shu’ah’s Example

Believers are called to emulate Y’shu’ah’s life of obedience, service, and love.

  • 1 John 2:6:

“He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

This includes:

  1. Obeying the Torah: Aligning our lives with Elohim’s commandments.

  2. Serving Others: Demonstrating compassion and selflessness.

  3. Proclaiming Truth: Sharing the good news of Y’shu’ah while standing firm against false teachings.

Follow Sha’ul’s Example

Sha’ul provides a practical model for living out faith in Y’shu’ah while maintaining Torah observance and enduring challenges.

  • Philippians 3:17:

“Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.”

4. Practical Steps to Walk as They Walked

  1. Study the Torah: Learn Elohim’s commandments and integrate them into daily life.

  2. Observe the Sabbath and Feasts: Honor the appointed times Elohim established in Leviticus 23.

  3. Serve Others: Follow Y’shu’ah’s example of compassion and humility.

  4. Proclaim the Good News: Share Y’shu’ah’s message of repentance and redemption.

  5. Endure in Faith: Stand firm in trials, knowing that obedience to Elohim often brings opposition.

Conclusion

Y’shu’ah HaMashiach walked in perfect obedience to Elohim’s Torah, demonstrating how we are called to live as His followers. Sha’ul faithfully imitated Y’shu’ah, showing that walking in Torah and faith are inseparable. To walk as they walked is to align with Elohim’s commandments, embrace selfless service, and proclaim the truth of His kingdom. This path is not always easy, but it is the way of life, light, and covenant faithfulness.
