Now, obviously, this is the very heart of the
Gospel Message. Yesus lived the life we should
live, and died the death we should have died. He
became our Substitute and in Him, we are obedient
to the Law and declared justified.
And we did so, legally, 2000 years ago!
One would assume, that every sinner will jump
for joy when they hear the blessed message of
redemption. But unfortunately, this is not the
case.
Within what might loosely be called
"Christianity", there is a growing
number of people who expose the very same
mentality as the ones described in the previous
paragraphs.
They will claim that Yesus is not JAH, they
will claim that "Christianity" really is
a form of Judaism, they will claim that the Law is
still in effect and supposed to be obeyed by all.
They will even claim it is possible to obey the
law and become perfect in this body.
How is it possible that people can claim to be
"Christian" and not see Who Yesus really
is and what He has actually done for us?
In my opinion, this has to do with something
the Bible calls "A Great Delusion".
Somewhere in the New Testament, you can read
how the apostle Paulus writes about it. He says
something to the effect of "If you do not
love the Truth, JAH will send you a Great Delusion
which will make you believe the lie":
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2Th 2:8-12
The apostle reveals a very important principal
here.
At first glance, it might sound kind of
logical: if you do not believe the Truth you will
believe a lie. But the principal goes deep, as
Paulus basically says that Jah will amplify (y)our
love.
When you love the Truth, Jah will give you more
love for the Truth. He will guide you higher and
deeper and will even grow His fruits in you so
that you will do good things.
When you love the lie, that says "you can
do what Yesus did", Jah will also give you
more love for the lie. Just like the Antichrist
who sets himself in the temple (that is the human
body) and proclaims himself to be god, you will
also think of yourself as on the same position as
Yesus.
And because Yesus is Jah, when you claim you
can obey the law you are actually claiming a place
that only Jah can take. You will believe the exact
same lie as Lucifer who said to himself he would
rise above the Most High and become god.
