Lesson 33 of 77
All Are Equal Before Yahweh
{See Lessons 2, 7, 12, 28}
By Lawrence DeMetrius
Yahweh Worshipers derive from all nationalities of the earth. Apostle Paul writes,
God that hath made the world and all things therein…
…hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
[Acts 17:24a, 26]
The main purpose for variety of languages, nationalities, and ethnicities is to help all children of earth seek out and re-establish favorable relationship with their Creator. Apostle Paul writes,
That they should seek the LORD if haply they might feel after HIM, and find HIM, though HE be not far from every one of us:
[Acts 17:27]
As HE is the vital principle of life for all living beings namely mortals, there is no one closer to each individual than Yahweh. Apostle Paul writes,
For in HIM we live, and move, and have our being;
[Acts 17:28a]
Since the fall of Adam, there is no mortal born into the earth who is not afflicted with the sin flawed nature. Apostle Paul writes,
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
[Rm 3:23]
For by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.
[Rm 5:19]
Regardless of their sin flawed nature, mortals can be fully acceptable to Yahweh through faith filled obedience to Christ the Word. Apostle Paul writes,
Being justified freely by HIS grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God 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 God;
To declare, I say, at this time HIS righteousness: that HE might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[Rm 3:24-26]
According as HE <Yahweh> hath chosen us in Him <Christ the Word> before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to HIMSELF according to the good pleasure of HIS will.
To the praise of the glory of HIS grace, wherein HE hath made us accepted in the Beloved.
[Eph 1:4-6]
Only those who choose not to entrust their wellbeing to Yahweh through faith filled obedience to Christ the Word, remain under divine wrath and condemnation that abides upon sin and all disgraced spirits. The Lord Jesus said,
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
[St Jn 3:19, 20]
Apostle John writes,
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth upon him.
[St Jn 3:36]
Apostle Paul writes,
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil…
[Rm 2:8, 9a]
All mortals are created to reverence and obey Yahweh. King Solomon writes,
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep HIS commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
[Eccl 12:13]
All mortals are admonished to be delivered from the power of sin, and to live abundantly forevermore in the Presence of Yahweh the true and non-discriminating God, WHO loves all people equally. Apostle Paul writes,
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent;
because HE hath appointed a day, in the which HE will judge the world in righteousness by that Man Whom HE hath ordained; whereof HE hath given assurance unto all men, in that HE hath raised Him from the dead.
[Acts 17:30, 31]
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:
But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good…
For there is no respect of persons with God.
[Rm 2:7, 10a, 11]
Apostle Peter writes,
The LORD is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
[II Pet 3:9]
The Lord Jesus said,
For God so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
[St Jn 3:16]
