So I lost my salvation because I do the instructions of the Father while keeping the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah the Son of YHWH Elohim? I used to believe as you do my friends. There's nothing humanly possible for me to do in my salvation other than, "good works" as the church describes.
These "good works" are the same thing we are warned we cannot gain salvation through. It may be argued that the modern church; if you could put them in one category, put these same good works up on buildings, in pamphlets, pinned up on bulletin boards, and raise funds for the indoctrination of the third world for servants of hell bound for the pit of fire. How bad would it be if that's all the wonderful works we've done in the name of Jesus?
Believing in God is linked; not because I say but because man lives by every word of YHWH Elohim and it is written, mankind is linked to the Instruction of YHWH Elohim forever. There is no separate instruction now for those under Messiah and those under the world. That would suggest that YHWH Elohim,(Father) is not God of all. What I have said is that the life giving Spirit Messiah uses the Father's instructions for the building of His Body with Him as the Head. If you reject the commands of Father's Kingdom how could you be putting yourself in the Kingdom without being one like a robber that didn't use the door but rather snuck in naked. He will be tied up and thrown out where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Unmerited favor or Grace is just what it sounds like a gift from your King. Only one master however has the keys to the Kingdom of YHWH Elohim. A democracy elects its representatives. In a monarchy the King selected His subjects based on His will. That is how Father knows you and your name was written in the lambs book of life before the foundation of the Earth. He knows His own.
