Mystery of Redemption

The reason YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 says "no one can come to the Father except through me," is because of this INFINITE SACRIFICE, by which the Ruah (Spirit) of the Son of YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has been availed to us as a gift of life, and by which YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 the Son of YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 comes to dwell within us by faith . . . so we may become partakers of His Divine Nature; without which no man can see nor come near to the Father, who is a consuming fire of absolute purity.

We can only stand in the presence of YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Father when we have YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 dwelling within us, as the Ruah Ha'Qodesh (Holy Spirit).

​

The love that the Father YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and His Son YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 have for us as is so deep and so strong it transcends the bounds of time, well into the realms of eternity; that they would devise such a comprehensive plan by way of sacrifice, so we may be partakers of their glory . . .

So that we, like them . . . may also become Aluahiym (Gods).
 

When we have such a clear understanding of the love and character of YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, in giving us His Son YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 to literally cease from existing as a Spirit Being, in order to provide us with His very own Ruah (Spirit), thereby becoming a man so we may be created in His image, and to then go on to shed his own blood and die as a man, to pay the penalty for our sins; then we may begin to understand and appreciate what true love is . . . 

"Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends." (Yahanan/John  15:13)
 

So then, whilst YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 has only been presented to most folks as the Son of Man who died on a cruel stake for our sins, although that in itself is true; it really isn't all there is to it . . .

NO, NO, NO -- there's so much more! YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 is also the lamb that was slain from (before) the foundation of the world!

​

Dearly Beloved Reader, please understand this . . . in order for the Son of Man -- YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 to have been born as a babe (in the flesh), to die for your sins and mine, He first of all had to have died as Aluah (God), which thing resulted in Him becoming A MAN -- the Son of Man.

 

He became a man as a result of that INFINITE SACRIFICE that was made before the foundation of the world. It is indeed this infinite sacrifice that is the central theme of the Everlasting Gospel. 

BOTH sacrifices of YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 are absolutely essential for the accomplishment of the Great Mystery of Salvation. Those who believe only in YAHUSHA's sacrifice on the cruel stake, whereupon He shed His blood as a man, may have had their confessed sins pardoned (since YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 died on the stake for all mankind), but without the Gift of YAHUSHA's Spirit (which He sacrificed for us before the foundation of the world), dwelling within them . . . they cannot obtain eternal life.
 

Whilst the sacrifice made on the cruel stake when YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 the Son of Man shed His blood pays the penalty for our sins and grants us pardon for our trespasses and sins (known as JUSTIFICATION), this does not in fact change our characters. We remain active sinners even with this fact acknowledged in our individual lives. Certainly, every last one of us can relate to this here.

The Great News however, is that, it is the sacrifice that was made on our behalf BEFORE the foundation of the world, when YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 the Son of YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was slain and died to shed the life-blood of his eternal soul --- His very own Spirit or Divine Nature --- which is what transforms (renews) our minds and fits us for the coming Eternal Kingdom of Righteousness.

Without this transformation (known as SANCTIFICATION) from within, we cannot obtain eternal life . . . because eternal life is available to us only through both YAHUSHA's shed blood on the cruel stake AND His Ruah (Spirit) which He sacrificed and set aside for us when He was slain before the foundation of the world. The very fact that He "became flesh" bears testament to the fact that He did in fact sacrifice and and set aside His Divine (Spirit) Nature -- by which  He is Aluah, just as YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Father is also Aluah.

​

It is important now more than ever before, to seek YAHUSHA's presence and to invite Him to come and dwell within our Bodily Temples by faith -- daily, moment by moment, until we are so full of His presence that it will no longer be us who live, but YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 who lives and manifests Himself fully in us.
 

This is our source of power against lawlessness. It is YAHUSHA's own perfect victory over sin that He grants to us by faith, which empowers us to also obtain victory over sin in our own lives.

​

It is HIS Righteousness that He imparts to us in a very real and powerful way, that becomes ours, when we have Him dwelling within us by faith through His Ruah Ha'Qodesh.

​

The Hebrew Scriptures make it abundantly clear that the Ruah Ha'Qodesh (Holy Spirit) is in fact YAHUSHA's Spirit and not some abstruse, obscure, non-descript "third person of the trinity," purely because if YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 and the Ruah Ha'Qodesh (Holy Spirit) have always existed as co-eternal, distinct and separate "individuals," it ultimately means that YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 did not sacrifice anything!

​

Rather, we may speak of YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 as a "person" and speak of the Ruah Ha'Qodesh (Holy Spirit) as a "person," but we must NEVER separate the two from YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏, for it can never be so . . .
 

YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Father sacrificed His Beloved Son -- BOTH Body (Flesh) and Ruah (Spirit) in order to redeem us!  YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 must be understood, received and worshiped in this light.

 

It is YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 who has provided us with the sacrifice of His Son, who has given us His own Ruah (Spirit) as a regenerating agency, a reconciling influence and a power that takes away lawlessness (sin) -- and He has done so at an enormous and eternal cost to Himself and to the Father YAHUAH 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. 
 

However, knowing that the Ruah Ha'Qodesh (Holy Spirit) is YAHUSHA's Spirit, is meaningless if we don't understand the eternal significance of YAHUSHA's sacrifice in setting aside His Ruah (Spirit), which occurred before the foundation of the world, when He was slain of the Father and became a man.

 

So, just why would YAHUSHA ‎𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 sacrifice His (Ruah) Spirit?

 

For what purpose did He make this sacrifice?
