Excerpt from The Yahushaic Covenant Volume 1 by Rav Sha'ul Saved by Faith in the Promises of Yahuah by Rav Sha'ul   We have all been taught in Christianity that we are saved by faith not by works of The Law.  It is a true statement that we are saved by faith, however we need to know what faith is to understand what that means. Faith, by definition, is expressed through keeping The Law of Yahuah and believing in the promises made in Scripture which is The Torah and Prophets.  In Scripture (the Torah and Prophets) Yahuah promised us: Eternal life for obedience Death for transgression A Passover Lamb to cover our transgression A Sabbath Rest A Sabbath Resurrection Sacrifices to cover our sin (transgression of His Law) to be made by the High Priest A marriage covenant whereby he would give us a loving spirit of obedience to His Law which would be transposed into our hearts Simply “saying you have faith” and not backing that faith up with action in keeping Yahuah’s commandments is dead faith.  Christians are willingly ignorant of this fact and choose to believe all they need is to believe in Jesus Christ (the false messiah) and nothing else is required of them.  I will cover in detail our responsibilities within The Yahushaic Covenant in this book. Scripture declares we are saved through faith in Yahuah’s Law which is where His promises are given to us: Psalm 119:147-150 147 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word. 148 My eyes stay open through the watches of the night that I may meditate on your promises. 149 Hear my voice in accordance with your love; preserve my life (eternal life), O Yahuah, according to your laws (eternal life is the promise for obedience to The Torah). 150 My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise (in The Torah) preserves my life. Hebrews 6:11-13 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence (in keeping The Law of Yahuah) to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. 12 We do not want you to become lazy (abolish The Law), but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised (in The Law which is eternal life). Hebrews 10:22-24 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess (in the promises of Yahuah), for he who promised (all of Yahuah’s promises are found in The Torah and Prophets true scripture) is faithful. 2 Peter 1:3-7 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them (the promises of Yahuah in The Torah and Prophets) you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil (breaking His Law) desires. Psalm 85:8 8 I will listen to what Yahuah your God will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints-but let them not return to folly. Psalm 119:140 140 Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them. Psalm 145:13 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. Yahuah is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. 2 Corinthians 1:20-22 20 For no matter how many promises Yahuah has made, they are "Yes" in covenant with Yahusha (because The Yahushaic Covenant is the transposition and fulfillment of all previous 6 covenants). 2 Corinthians 7:1 1 Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for Yahuah (which is defined as obedience to His Law). Ephesians 1:13-14 13And you also were included in The Yahushaic Covenant when you heard the word of truth (Yahuah fulfilled His promises in Yahusha John 1), the gospel of your salvation (Yahusha is the Passover Lamb to cover “nail” the death decrees in The Law to the cross Colossians 2:14). Having believed (that Yahuah alone is God the GREATEST commandment Mark 12:29), you were marked (on your forehead Revelation 22) in Yahuah (the name of God) with a seal (The Shema Deuteronomy 6:4-8), the promised Holy Spirit (of loving obedience to The Law Ezekiel 11), 14 which is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are Yahuah’s possession-to the praise of Yahuah’s glory. James 1:12 12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that Yahuah has promised to those who love him (to love Yahuah is to keep His Law 1 John 5:3). 1 John 2:24-25 24 See that what you have heard from the beginning (the Torah and Prophets) remains in (written on your heart) you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us (in The Torah) - even eternal life. In The Yahushaic Covenant, it is exercising our faith through actions that are the spiritual equivalent to the physical shadow of animal sacrifices.  The true sacrifices to Yahuah are faith through action of keeping His Law.  We see this is true below speaking of The Yahushaic Covenant is “written on our hearts” that we are to “do” or have a loving spirit of obedience toward His Law.  That Spirit of Loving Obedience is the spiritual sacrifices required by Yahuah: Psalm 40:6-8 - New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. 7 Then I said, “Behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me (having a heart for The Law of Yahuah is a witness of us in The Book of Life). 8 I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart (the foundation of The New Covenant Jeremiah 31).” Ezekiel 36: 26, 27 I will give you a new heart (for my Law and write my Law on it) and put a new spirit (of loving obedience) in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone (legalistic observance of The Law out of fear of death) and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Next: Faith without works is dead
