SALVATION: Only According to Father's Word

 Psalm 119:41 May Your lovingkindnesses come to me, Yahweh. Your Yeshua (Salvation) according to Your Word.

 

I would propose that this verse is one of the most important verses that we will ever read, in our entire lifetime. Here, in the longest chapter of the Bible (both in the number of verses and words) we see a poem, written by David, that uses the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet to lavish his great love for Father’s Torah.

 

In this verse specifically, he asks for Father’s great mercy and then for His Yeshua (salvation). I’d like to draw your attention to how he requests that Yahweh’s Yeshua (salvation) comes to him – “according to Yahweh’s Word.”

 

And here is where the importance of “how salvation comes” becomes our main focus. The absolute only way that Yahweh’s Yeshua (salvation) can come is when it is according to His Word. It cannot come any other way, for all others are not sourced in Him. We see the most familiar use of this “word” in Psalm 119:11 – “I have hidden/treasured Your Word in my heart, so I might not sin against You.” “Word” here, in Hebrew is “imra” and refers simply to speech or commandment.

 

It does not take a Bible degree to know that when David penned this, the Torah was the only “Word” that existed. Father’s Torah Instruction was (and is) what defined sin. Therefore, the treasuring of it in one’s heart, kept one “free from sin” (as we saw in the literal life of Yeshua/Salvation).

 

This continues into the Newer Testament as well. As in Acts 4:11&12 where we see “This Yeshua (salvation) is ‘the stone, rejected by you, the builders, that has become the chief cornerstone.’ There is Yeshua (salvation) in no one else, for there is no other Name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved!”

 

Friends, there is only One Yeshua (salvation) and any other that does not bear His Name and entirely fit the criteria of the Word is a false messiah. The Bible makes this perfectly clear. If we truly allow the Word of Elohim to be our absolute authority, Salvation must come through the name of Yeshua (Salvation) and this Yeshua (Salvation) must be the One that fits the criteria of the Word.

 

Herein is why I believe that this verse is of utmost importance for us to meditate upon - perhaps for days and weeks. Please study this verse more for yourself and, if deemed necessary, allow Holy Spirit to give you eyes to see. We must be found knowing Yeshua (Salvation) according to Yahweh’s wonderful Word, for there is salvation in no other. 

Selah.
