Why Yahushua the Messiah Had to Die

Why did Yahushua the Messiah have to die for our sins so that we could attain salvation and eternal life?

Many believe they know the answer and point to various passages in Scriptures to demonstrate their understanding of Yahweh’s truth.

For instance, a common answer is that Yahushua forgives and redeems us from our sins by shedding his blood as the perfect sacrifice. The Messiah now gives us grace or the free gift of salvation and eternal life.

The frequently referenced passage of Scriptures is from the book of John, which states:

For the deity so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

So, it would seem that having only faith to be saved is sufficient.

At this point, we still do not have an answer to why the Messiah had to die for our personal sins. This prompts us to engage in a deeper exploration of our trust and the Scriptures.

This particular study will concentrate on one of the crucial reasons for the Messiah’s death and how it benefits all mankind. Continue reading “Why Yahushua the Messiah Had to Die” →

Trust or Faith?

This question confronts a troubling observation—why do so many, from clergy to laity, falter in their spiritual pursuits? Today, we’ll examine this through the lens of Scriptures, challenging common assumptions and seeking a clearer path forward.

Many assert they possess faith—a conviction that religious truths hold because their hearts affirm them. This notion, often termed “blind faith,” posits that truth resides within, emerging from emotions or personal conviction. It’s a widely held principle across religions: truth is an internal discovery, rooted in the heart, the mind, or the depths of human feeling.

Yet, the Scriptures present a starkly different perspective. They assert that authentic truth does not originate within us. The human heart and mind, prone to error, sin, and deception, cannot be its source. Rather, truth is external—revealed through Yahweh’s divine word. It is trust in Yahweh, not subjective belief, that guides us to what is ultimately true.

Trust or Faith?

Why do so many among the clergy and laity falter in their spiritual journeys? Many people claim to have faith—a belief that certain religious truths or principles are valid simply because their hearts tell them so. This “blind faith” suggests that the truth lies deep within, emerging from their feelings and inner convictions. It is a central tenet in many of the world’s religions: that truth is found within oneself, in the heart, mind, or emotions.

However, Scriptures teach a different path. They declare that genuine truth does not originate from the human heart or mind, which is often prone to error, sin, and deception. Instead, true wisdom and understanding must be sought outside ourselves, in Yahweh’s divine revelation and guidance. Trust in Yahweh and His word leads us to the ultimate truth, not the subjective, fleeting beliefs formed within us. Continue reading “Trust or Faith?” →
