It is best to embrace Scripture, not distorted Bible translations or cherished denominational doctrines—to understand God and the basis for our salvation. Some churches preach that the Church replaced Israel as "God's chosen people. "Others preach, 'once saved, always saved,' but what did Jesus say in Matthew 7:26-27? Who was he speaking to? What did Apostle John, who wrote Revelation, say in 1 John 3:4-10? Some say the Law of Moses has been abolished, but what did Jesus say in Matthew 5:17-19?  The point is that some denominations adulterate Scripture and reject the Old Testament altogether. Do you want to be confused or misinformed by false teachings? Heaven forbid! Do you believe that Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah, could become a Gentile and start a new religion called Christianity that rejects Jews?

    So, what did Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) do? See Ephesians 2:11-15. Focus particularly on Verse 15, which says that Jews and (God-fearing) Gentiles have become the One-New-Man that is "in place of" both those who were previously Jews or Gentiles. The emphasis here is on the word "new." The new covenant is an Old Testament concept, in that righteousness was restored through Israel's Messiah, who suffered, bled, died, and was raised, creating a "one new man" (and woman) - Kingdom believers are better equipped to keep God's Torah. Few Christians understand their "faith" from this Scriptural perspective rather than a particular denominational perspective. There are approximately 2,000 different Christian denominations, so how can all these conflicting theologies and traditions be considered valid? They can't!  
   Testimonies are not just stories; they are potent tools that recount actual encounters of real people who met Jesus and shared their experiences. They reflect the profound, life-changing experiences of these people, offering inspiration and hope to all who hear them.
   What is your testimony? We all have one. Does it include an Encounter with God yet? If so, did that encounter convict, convince, and stir your soul to seek a deeper relationship with Jesus? Remember, God is faithful and unchanging. What He does for one, He will do for others who love and who trust  Jesus enough to obey His Holy Spirit. God's forgiveness and blessings are not exclusive to Israel, but they start with Israel and a remnant of Jews who recognize their Messiah.
