===> Redemption is available by faith (Emunah) to all people who live during the 7,000 years who put their faith, trust, and confidence in God, His Word, and His promises. The major promise is that God would redeem both man and the earth back to God in response to the fall of man in Garden of Eden (Gan Eden). The Messiah (Yeshua/Jesus) was the central figure in accomplishing this redemption (Romans 4:1-3 = Genesis 15:6). (Romans 4:13,16,22-24; Galations 3:6-9,14,16,29; Hebrews 11:4-5,7-8,11,20,22-23, 29-33; Isaiah 4:1)
===> Salvation is given to us by God by grace (unmerited favor) through faith by personally accepting into our lives the redemptive work of Yeshua/Jesus as payment for our sins and not by our own works (being a good person) (Romans 4:16,22-24, Ephesians 2:8-9).
===> If we put our trust in ourselves (being a good person) rather than putting our trust in Yeshua/Jesus to save us, the Bible tells us that we are judged under the law. According to judgment under the law, if you commit just one sin, you are guilty before God of violating the entire law (James 2:10, Romans 3:9-12, 19-20, Galations 3:12).
===> The Torah/law was given:
1. Because of sin and entrusted in the hands of a mediator (Galations 3:19)
----> Yeshua/Jesus is the mediator between God and man (Hebrews 9:13-15, 12:24)
2. To show that we cannot keep the law and therefore are guilty before God
(Romans 3:20)
3. To be our schoolmaster (teacher/guide to instruction and understanding) to point us to Yeshua/Jesus (Galations 3:24, Romans 10:4)
===> We are righteous (being in right standing) before God by faith by trusting in the redemption work of the Messiah (Yeshua/Jesus) Romans 3:21-24, 4:4-5).
===> Faith requires works. Here, works means acting upon faith (what God has said or promised) not trusting upon our own good deeds for righteousness. Works means acting upon what God has said and demonstrating, by actions, that you believe what God has said or promised (James 2:14, 17-24, Titus 1:16).

Works means acting upon what God has said or demonstrating by actions that you believe what God has said or promised. (James 2:14, 17-24, Titus 1:16).
===> Repentance from dead works (not trusting in our own conduct for redemption) and faith toward God is a foundational doctrine of Christ (Hebrews 6:1).
===> The believers are required by God to live by faith
(Galations 3:11, Hab. 2:4, Romans 1:17, Hebrews 10:38).
Yeshua/Jesus lived by faith 100% of the time.
(Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 17:1-2,5, Mark 1:11).
1. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
2. Anything which is not of faith is sin (Romans 14:23).
===> Salvation is not by the law (being a good person) but is by faith. After we believe by faith (repenting of our sins and trusting in the blood of Yeshua/Jesus to forgive us of our sins), we try to live according to the Torah/law (Romans 3:28,31) and strive to keep God's commandments (The Bible/Torah/The Word of God) (John 14:15,21,23 --> John 15:10,14).
===> Redemption is seen as being "Here now, but not yet" (I Corinthians 13:9-10,12).
1. Yeshua/Jesus preached that the kingdom of heaven was at hand.
("Here now" ==> In part Matthew 4:12,17, 10:5,7-8, Luke 4:18,21).
2. Yeshua/Jesus was the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven in the flesh
(Matthew 12:28).
3. The Kingdom of Heaven will not be here (in its fullness) until the future.
(Matthew 8:11, 24:14).
===> The Kingdom of Heaven = The Kingdom of God = Gospel
1. Yeshua/Jesus preached ... Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
(Matthew 4:12,17).
2. Yeshua/Jesus preached the Kingdom of God ... Repent and believe the Gospel
(Mark 1:14-15).
===> Gospel = The Power of God (Romans 1:16, I Cor 4:20, Matthew 22:29, I Thess 1:5)
---> Power = #1411 in Strong's Concordance Greek Lexicon
1. The cross = the Power of God (I Corinthians 1:18)
2. The Word of God = the Power of God (II Corinthians 6:7, John 17:17)
3. God is upholding all things by the Word of His Power (Hebrews 1:3)
---> God has given us this power (II Timothy 1:7)
God wants us to know and understand this power (Ephesians 1:15-20,3:14-20)
In the last days, people would deny this power (II Timothy 3:1-5)
---> Yeshua/Jesus is the Power of God (I Corinthians 1:24)
===> Gospel = The Scriptures = The Word of God
---> Gospel = #2097 in Strong's Concordance Greek Lexicon
Gospel = #1319 in Strong's Concordance Hebrew Lexicon
Gospel = Basar in Hebrew = Good News/Tidings ... Isaiah 52:7
---> Good Tidings = #2097 in Greek Lexicon ... Luke 2:10-11, 8:1
Gospel = #2097 in Greek Lexicon ... Luke 4:14,16-21 = Luke 4:18
===> Gospel is ... (Matthew 10:5,7-8, Luke 4:18-19)
1. Healing the sick
2. Cleansing the leper
3. Casting out devils
4. Healing the broken hearted
5. Deliverance to the captive
6. Recovering of sight to the blind
7. Set at liberty those who are bruised
8. The PREACHING of the "Acceptable year of the Lord" = The Jubilee
===> Jubilee is found in Leviticus 25:9-10 = The day of atonement
1. Jubilee = Freedom to all the oppressed (by the devil).
2. The Jubilee is the redemption of all things to the original owner (Leviticus 25:10,13).
3. Yeshua/Jesus was sent to redeem man and earth back to God who is the original owner
(Psalm 24:1, I Corinthians 10:26).
4. Yeshua/Jesus who is the Jubilee (Luke 4:14, 16-21) said in Luke 4:21
---> TODAY (Here now) is this scripture fulfilled in your hearing
---> The FULLNESS of this scripture is in the future (Revelation 21:1,4)
===> Matthew 13:10-11, 18-19 speaks of .... "The Word of the Kingdom"
The Word of the Kingdom = The Word of God = The Gospel
1. The Gospel is to be preached in all the world and then the end shall come
(Matthew 24:14).
2. This was the Great Commission to the disciples (Sent Ones) (Matthew 28:16, 18-20).
This Commission is ....PREACHING AND TEACHING all nations to observe all things.
---> This was fulfilled by the early church (Here now) ==> (In part) by Yeshua's/Jesus' apostles and the apostle Paul.
---> The FULLNESS is seen in Jeremiah 31:34, Isaiah 11:9, Isaiah 2:2-4.
===> The spirit of Anti-Christ is HERE NOW (I John 4:3, 2:22)
The FULLNESS is when Anti-Christ comes (I John 2:18, II Thess. 2:3-4)
===> The Kingdom of God:
1. Is in you (Luke 17:20-21)
2. Is righteousness, peace, joy (Romans 14:17)
3. We are to seek this Kingdom (Matthew 6:33)
4. We are to rule and reign in this Kingdom (Romans 5:17)
5. This Kingdom is given to those who do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21)
