Salvation & Hope

This page is all about the greatest gift ever given — the salvation and hope we have through Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach). Here you’ll find Scripture, encouragement, and the truth of the Gospel, shared from the heart. Whether you’re just beginning to seek Him or have walked with Him for years, my prayer is that these words will remind you of His love, His grace, and the relationship He longs to have with you.

What an Impact Jesus Christ

(Yeshua Hamashiach) Has on Humanity

Not only did Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) live a sinless life, he also taught about the Kingdom of God, showing us how to live and what it takes to enter into His Kingdom. He demonstrated selflessness and service, and he brought the Good News of salvation—that it is a free gift from God, Yahweh, for all who believe. He became poor so that we may become rich.

The most incredible act of selflessness and service was when he sacrificed himself on the cross, taking on the punishment for our sins and sicknesses. By his wounds we have been made well. Jesus (Yeshua) demonstrated his ultimate act of grace and mercy. By doing so, we can come to him freely, since he made a new covenant with us.

Yeshua Hamashiach came to establish a relationship with each one of us if we receive him and believe in the Gospel and what he did for us all. He came for relationship, not religion.

Religious activity or mighty works in the name of Jesus (Yeshua) are not indicators of genuine faith. It is not about the number of religious acts or good deeds one does, but about the genuineness of our relationship with Jesus (Yeshua).

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

(Yeshua Hamashiach — His True Name!)

1 Corinthians 15:1–4

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Jesus (Yeshua) died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.

Yeshua is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. (Where is the life in your body? The life is in the blood.) Trust in the blood of Yeshua and what he did for us on the cross.

Romans 3:24–26

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Yeshua: whom Yah, our Heavenly Father, hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Yah; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Yeshua.

Romans 10:9–10

If you confess with your mouth Yeshua and believe in your heart that God (Yah) raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is about having an intimate relationship with Jesus (Yeshua), birthed out of sincerity and humility, reading his Word and praying daily.

John 3:16–18

For God (Yahweh) so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) died on the cross bearing our sins and sicknesses in his body. He sacrificed himself so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness. We are saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach). It is not of any works we do, lest any man should boast. Our salvation is found in him alone. The moment we put our faith and trust in the blood of Jesus (Yeshua)—the moment we accept him as Lord and Savior—we are saved and justified by the blood of Yeshua.

Salvation, Baptism, and the Holy Spirit

Salvation is a gift from God, accompanied by the responsibility to live righteously and demonstrate faith through action. The door into God’s Kingdom—the door of salvation—is a commitment. It does not mean dabbling in the Kingdom and dabbling in the world. It is a total commitment.

Salvation occurs when one believes in Jesus Christ (Yeshua) for salvation. There is nothing you can do to earn it. Yes, it is a free gift Jesus paid for, but you were bought for a price! Salvation is free, but it cost him everything. Glorify God, for he paid for you, and therefore he owns you.

Once you receive salvation, there is a commitment on your part to give your life to Jesus Christ. Surrender to God’s will and purpose. Jesus (Yeshua) wants everyone to come to him as they are. He will help you see the light if you have been in the dark, for Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) is the Light of the world. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—our true King of Kings.

There is an exchange that takes place. When Jesus (Yeshua) died for you, giving you his life, he expects you to give him your life—every part of it. We are to depend on him to provide and take care of us in every area of our lives. Without Jesus (Yeshua), we are nothing.

You must have faith and believe in his promises, which are throughout Scripture. If you do not, you will end up holding onto some area of your life, not letting Jesus take care of it. That part of your life can become messy if it is not given over to him.

When you believe and receive Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) as your Lord and Savior, he will give you the Holy Spirit to reside in you. Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost he puts in you; we are not our own, for we were bought with a price. The Holy Spirit will teach you all things to come.

Rapture Day Is Different for Pre, Mid, and Pre-Wrath

The Bride (First Fruits) — Pre-Tribulation Rapture

The Bride is raptured at Pre-Tribulation.
She is brought up to the Groom, Jesus (Yeshua), who remains in Heaven.
God brought Eve to Adam (Genesis 2:22).
Rebekah was brought to Isaac (Genesis 24:61–67).
The woman at the well was brought to Jesus (John 4:5–8) while He was on Jacob’s property (Jacob is a type and shadow of the Father).

At this time:

No shout is made to the Bride.
No resurrection of the dead takes place.

The Church (The Main Harvest) — Mid-Tribulation Rapture

This takes place 3.5 years into the 7-year Tribulation.

Those who are not preparing themselves for the next step of ministry will go up at Mid-Trib. It isn’t that God loves some more than others — it’s about preparation. God has invited all of us to be the Bride, but not all Christians are that interested in the Word. They are saved, but need more time to mature.

Gentiles and Jews who come into belief during the first 3.5 years of the Tribulation will be grafted in at the midway point, for God will graft them in when they come into belief.

At this time, Jesus leaves Heaven to gather the Father’s property that has come up in the clouds at the shout of an archangel.

1 Thessalonians 4:15–17 — A shout by which a signal is given to men; a loud summons, a trumpet call.
Revelation 12:5 — They are God’s Army.
Matthew 24:30–31 — “Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

The Gleanings (the remnant) are taken Pre-Wrath.

At this time they are snatched by the reapers.
Taken to the barn.
Remain in their mortal bodies.
