“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” — Ephesians 6:11

Nehemiah understood that not every battle is fought with a sword. When enemies tried to intimidate, distract, and deceive him, he refused to abandon the work the Most High had given him.

He stayed watchful. He prayed. He continued building.

The same is true for us. The enemy may use fear, distraction, temptation, or discouragement to pull us away from obedience. But we are called to stand firm, remain faithful, and refuse to compromise.

Like Nehemiah, keep building even when opposition comes.

Pray. Stand. Watch. Keep obeying. Do not come down from the work.

The Book of Jude is one of the shortest books in the Bible, yet it carries a powerful warning for the Church. Positioned just before the Book of Revelation, Jude calls believers to contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3, NKJV).

One of the most concerning things Jude exposes is the presence of ungodly people who secretly infiltrate the community of believers. These people do not necessarily appear wicked in the eyes of others. They may look religious, speak about love, preach about grace, and present themselves as righteous. Yet, beneath that outward appearance, they distort the truth and use the grace of God as an excuse to continue living in sin.

Jude writes “For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Jude 1:4, NKJV)

Notice what Jude is warning us about. These individuals do not necessarily reject the language of Christianity. Instead, they misuse its teachings. They speak about grace but disregard repentance. They speak about love but refuse correction. They speak about freedom but overlook the responsibility to live in holiness.

The danger is not simply that people commit sin. Scripture makes it clear that all have sinned (Romans 3:23). The deeper danger is when people begin to defend, normalize, and justify the very things that the Most High calls them to turn away from.

When sin becomes something we protect instead of something we repent of, we must seriously examine whether we have understood the purpose of grace.

One of the most misunderstood teachings in modern Christianity is the idea that because we are saved by grace, obedience and holiness are no longer necessary. Some people treat grace as though it gives them permission to continue living according to their own desires, even when those desires contradict the Word of God.

But how did the apostle Paul respond to this very idea?

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2, NKJV)

Paul did not teach that grace gives us permission to remain in sin. He taught that those who have died to sin should no longer live under its dominion.

Grace does not mean that sin no longer matters. It means that God has provided a way for sinners to receive forgiveness and be transformed through faith in the Messiah. We are not saved by our own righteousness, but neither should we use the gift of salvation as an excuse to reject the righteousness God calls us to pursue.

Paul further explains that “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.” (Titus 2:11-12, NKJV)

Look carefully at what grace teaches us. It teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. It teaches us to live soberly, righteously, and godly.

Therefore, grace is not merely a message that reassures us that we are forgiven. It also teaches us how to live after receiving that forgiveness.

If our understanding of grace never leads us to confront our sins, abandon our sinful practices, and pursue a life of obedience, we must ask ourselves whether we have understood biblical grace correctly.

As someone who once engaged in and promoted the normalization of sexual sins, I came to recognize that something was deeply wrong with the way I understood certain teachings within modern Christianity.

I had to confront the possibility that the beliefs I once defended were not necessarily aligned with what Scripture actually taught.

This is not a statement made to place myself above others. It is a reminder that each of us must be willing to examine our own hearts and allow the Word of God to correct us.

Sometimes, the sins we struggle with are not the only problem. The greater problem begins when we become so attached to those sins that we start searching for teachings that will justify them.

We may call it freedom. We may call it self-expression. We may call it love or acceptance. But have we sincerely examined whether our definitions agree with the Word of God?

Scripture warns us that “He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13, NKJV)

Notice that the passage speaks not only of confessing sins but also of forsaking them.

Biblical repentance is more than admitting that we have done something wrong. It involves a change of heart and direction. It means being willing to turn away from what is sinful rather than continually searching for reasons to remain in it.

This does not mean that a believer will never struggle or stumble. Spiritual growth takes place as we learn to submit ourselves to God. However, there is a difference between struggling against sin while seeking God’s help and deliberately defending sin because we do not want to surrender it.

We must be careful not to confuse the patience of God with His approval of everything we do.

Jude’s warning should also remind us that outward religious appearances are not sufficient evidence of genuine faith.

A person may know Scripture, speak eloquently, participate in religious gatherings, and appear compassionate before others. Yet the question remains: Are we truly submitting ourselves to the authority of God’s Word?

Yashaya HaMashiach Himself, to whom the world known as Jesus Christ, warned about those who would appear righteous outwardly while remaining corrupt within.

“Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” (Matthew 23:28, NKJV)

These are serious words. They remind us that religious appearances cannot replace inward transformation.

We can deceive other people. We can even become skilled at deceiving ourselves. But we cannot hide the true condition of our hearts from the Most High.

This is why we must examine ourselves honestly. Are we following the Messiah because we desire to obey Him, or are we merely using His name to validate the life we have already chosen for ourselves?

The purpose of correction is not to encourage pride or hatred toward others. True love is willing to correct, instruct, and warn because it desires what is good for another person. At the same time, we must be willing to receive correction ourselves.

Before pointing out the sins of others, we must also allow the Word of God to search our own hearts.

Many people think that denying the Messiah means openly declaring that they do not believe in Him. Certainly, Scripture warns against rejecting Him. But the Bible also exposes the contradiction of professing faith while refusing to obey Him.

Yashaya asked “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46, NKJV)

This question should cause every professing believer to pause.

What does it mean to call Him Lord while refusing to follow His teachings? What does it mean to profess faith in Him while deliberately rejecting the life He calls us to live?

The apostle Paul also warned about people who profess to know God but deny Him through their conduct:

“They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.” (Titus 1:16, NKJV)

Our actions do not purchase salvation, and none of us can earn the mercy of God through personal righteousness. Nevertheless, genuine faith should produce a changed life. Obedience is not the price we pay to earn grace; it is part of the response of a heart that has received grace and is learning to follow the Messiah.

Christ did not merely give us words to admire. He demonstrated a life of obedience to the Father. If we claim to follow Him, we must be willing to learn from His example and walk as He walked (John 15:10; 1 John 2:6).

We cannot continually separate what we believe from how we live, as though our conduct has no relationship to our confession of faith.

Jude did not write his letter simply to condemn people. He called believers to defend the faith against teachings that distort the truth and encourage ungodliness.

Jude 1:3 urges believers to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. This means that we cannot allow popular opinions, cultural expectations, or our personal desires to become the final authority for determining what is right and wrong.

We must examine every teaching in light of Scripture.

At the same time, contending for the faith does not give us permission to become arrogant, cruel, or self-righteous. Jude 1:22-23 calls believers to show compassion toward those who are struggling while exercising discernment concerning sin and its dangers.

We must learn to distinguish between loving people and approving everything they do. We can treat people with dignity, patience, and compassion without abandoning our convictions about what Scripture teaches.

Truth without compassion can become harshness. Compassion without truth can become compromise. Biblical love calls us to uphold the truth while seeking the good of others.

The Book of Jude is a warning to the Church, but it is also an opportunity for personal examination.

Are we using grace as a reason to repent, or as an excuse to remain unchanged? Are we allowing Scripture to correct our beliefs, or are we selecting only the passages that support what we already want to believe? Are we genuinely following the Messiah, or are we merely professing His name?

These are questions we must be willing to answer honestly before the Most High.

I am not writing this as someone who has never fallen into sin, but as someone who has had to reconsider past beliefs and recognize the need for repentance. We must all remain humble enough to be corrected by the Word of God, even when that correction challenges the things we once defended.

The call of the Messiah is not merely to believe certain things about Him. It is to repent, follow Him, and learn to walk in obedience.

As Yashaya declared to us: “If you love Me, keep My commandments. (John 14:15, NKJV)

And John reminds us that “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (1 John 2:6, NKJV)

Let us not deceive ourselves into thinking that the grace of God gives us permission to embrace the very sins from which we need deliverance.

Let us instead receive His mercy with humility, turn away from our sins, and pursue a life that reflects the character and teachings of the Messiah.

Grace is not an excuse to remain in sin. Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness, repent, and walk in righteousness.

May we have the humility to be corrected, the courage to abandon what is sinful, and the faith to follow the Messiah even when doing so requires us to reject the beliefs we once held dear.

What is love according to Scripture? In a world where morality is increasingly distorted, biblical love must not be defined by feelings, desire, or simply accepting everything. Love begins with the Most High: “And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might” (Deuteronomy 6:5). True love is demonstrated through obedience, truth, patience, kindness, mercy, forgiveness, and righteousness.

1 Corinthians 13 teaches that love is not arrogant, rude, self-seeking, or pleased with wrongdoing, but rejoices in truth and endures. Therefore, loving someone does not mean approving everything they do. Sometimes love corrects, confronts, establishes boundaries, forgives, and even walks away from what is destructive. Yashaya taught us to love even our enemies, showing that we must not allow the evil done to us to transform us into people who do evil ourselves.

For those who grew up in dysfunctional families or distorted environments, this is especially important: what we were taught to call “love” may not have been the biblical definition of love. We may have to unlearn fear, control, manipulation, conditional affection, and other unhealthy patterns and learn love according to truth. In a cruel world, the answer is not to become cruel ourselves. “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21).

Biblical love is therefore not weakness, naivety, or the absence of boundaries. It is the strength to remain truthful without becoming cruel, merciful without compromising righteousness, and compassionate without participating in evil. We love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19).

Throughout Scripture, the Most High uses the picture of a shepherd to describe His relationship with His people. A shepherd is responsible for guiding, feeding, protecting, and caring for the flock entrusted to him. Because of this, Scripture also uses “shepherd” as a description of those who are given responsibility over the people of the Most High. Leadership, therefore, is not merely a position of authority. It is a responsibility that requires faithfulness, humility, and genuine concern for those under one's care.

This becomes especially clear in Ezekiel 34, where the Most High speaks against the shepherds of Israel. He says, “Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?” (Ezekiel 34:2, KJV). Instead of caring for the sheep, these shepherds had benefited from them. They had failed to strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bind up the broken, bring back those who had wandered, and seek those who were lost (Ezekiel 34:3-4). Their failure was not simply poor leadership. They had forgotten that the flock ultimately belonged to the Most High.

The passage becomes even more powerful when the Most High declares that He Himself will take responsibility for His sheep. “Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out” (Ezekiel 34:11). He promises to gather the scattered, feed them, give them rest, strengthen the weak, and bind up the wounded (Ezekiel 34:12-16). Even when human shepherds fail, the Most High does not abandon His people.

This promise leads us to the words of Yashaya Hamashiach in John 10. He declares, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:11, KJV). Yashaya presents Himself in contrast to the hireling who abandons the sheep when danger comes. The Good Shepherd remains with the flock because He knows His sheep and cares for them. He says, “I know my sheep, and am known of mine” (John 10:14).

But as I reflected on John 10, I realized that Christ is not only the Shepherd. He also says, “I am the door of the sheep” (John 10:7). This adds another dimension to the picture. The shepherd leads the sheep, but the sheep also enter through the door. The door is the place of entrance, safety, and belonging. Yashaya says, “If any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture” (John 10:9). The Good Shepherd is therefore also the Door through whom the sheep find safety and pasture.

This brought my mind to Psalm 91, where the one who trusts in the Most High is described as dwelling “in the secret place of the most High” and abiding “under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). The psalm speaks of refuge, protection, shelter, and deliverance. When these passages are placed together, the imagery becomes beautiful: the sheep have a Shepherd who guides them, a Door through whom they enter, and a place of refuge under the protection of the Most High. Psalm 91 declares, “He is my refuge and my fortress: my Elohim; in Him will I trust” (Psalm 91:2).

The connection does not mean that Psalm 91 is simply another name for John 10, but the shepherd, door, refuge, and shelter imagery all point us toward the same truth: the people of the Most High are called to place their trust in Him rather than in human strength. Yashaya, as the Good Shepherd and the Door, shows us the way into that security and relationship with the Most High.

This also gives us a standard for everyone entrusted with the care of others. Peter instructed the elders to “feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof” willingly and not for personal gain (1 Peter 5:2). He then reminds them that Yashaya is the “chief Shepherd” (1 Peter 5:4). Those who lead therefore remain under the authority of the Shepherd Himself. The flock is not theirs to possess, exploit, or manipulate. It belongs to Elohim.

A faithful shepherd should therefore reflect the character of the Good Shepherd. He should care for those who are weak, patiently guide those who are learning, restore those who have wandered, protect those who are vulnerable, and faithfully teach the truth. Leadership should never become an opportunity to exalt oneself. The purpose of shepherding is to serve the flock and ultimately lead them closer to the Shepherd.

There is also a lesson for the sheep. Yashaya said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). We should therefore learn to recognize the voice of the true Shepherd through His Word and not place our ultimate trust in human leaders. People may fail, but the Good Shepherd remains faithful.

The message of the shepherds of Israel is therefore both a warning and an encouragement. It is a warning to those entrusted with leadership that the Most High holds them accountable for how they care for His people. At the same time, it is an encouragement to the sheep that even when human shepherds fail, the Most High continues to seek, gather, heal, and protect His flock.

The more I consider these Scriptures, the more I see the beauty of the picture. Yashaya Hamashiach, to whom the world known as Jesus Christ, is the Good Shepherd who searches for His sheep, the Door through whom they enter, and the One who leads them into pasture. And under the shadow of the Almighty, there is refuge. The sheep do not ultimately find their security in the shepherds of men, but in the Shepherd who gave His life for them.

As Psalm 91 declares, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). This is the comfort of the flock - the Shepherd is faithful, the Door is open, and the refuge of the Most High remains for those who trust in Him.

BECAUSE HE TAUGHT THE TRUTH, JESUS BECAME AN ENEMY TO SOME

Jesus did not become hated because He taught people lies. He became opposed because He spoke the truth of God, even when people did not want to hear it.

He said:

“But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God.”
— John 8:40, NKJV

The Apostle Paul experienced the same thing:

“Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?”
— Galatians 4:16, NKJV

And following the truth can sometimes create conflict even within your own family.

Jesus warned:

“For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’”
— Matthew 10:35–36, NKJV

This does not mean we should intentionally create conflict or treat people as enemies. Rather, it shows that choosing to follow the truth of God can bring opposition, even from people close to us.

So, do not reject the truth simply because it is uncomfortable or unpopular.

What a person continually sets their heart upon will eventually shape what they understand, desire, and pursue.

If the heart is set on the things of this world, the mind becomes occupied with worldly things.

But when the heart is set on the things of God, the person begins to understand and desire spiritual things.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
— Matthew 6:21 NKJV

What has your heart?

The things we pursue reveal the things we value.

28/09/2026

Many claim to be followers of Christ and say they walk the path He chose.

But what kind of path did Christ actually choose?

He did not pursue earthly riches, status, luxury, or worldly greatness. He taught His followers to seek the Kingdom of God, to serve others, to deny themselves, and to lay up treasures in heaven.

“And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.’”
— Matthew 8:20 NKJV

Following Christ is not about using faith as a path to wealth and comfort. It is about becoming like Him: humble, obedient, self-denying, compassionate, and faithful to the Father.

If we truly claim to walk where Christ walked, we must examine whether our desires are shaped by Him or by the world.

26/09/2026

Sometimes when people hear that we are saved by grace because of what Jesus did on the cross, they can misunderstand what grace actually means. They may think, “Jesus already paid for my sins, so no matter how I live, my salvation is secure.” But Scripture never presents grace as permission to live however we want. Paul actually asks, “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” and then answers, “Certainly not!” (Romans 6:1-2 NKJV). Grace is not a license to continue in sin. Grace is God’s mercy toward sinners and the opportunity He gives us to turn back to Him.

We can see this throughout Scripture. Saul was chosen and anointed by God. The Spirit of God was with him, yet Saul repeatedly disobeyed God’s commands. Eventually, God rejected him as king, and the Spirit of God departed from him. Judas was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples. He walked with Jesus, heard His teachings, and witnessed His ministry, yet he betrayed Him and never turned back in repentance. David also committed serious sins. He committed adultery with Bathsheba, arranged for her husband Uriah to be killed, and later sinned by taking a census of Israel instead of trusting in God. Yet when David was confronted with his sin, he humbled himself and repented. Peter also failed Jesus when he denied Him three times, but Peter wept bitterly and returned to the Lord.

All four of these men failed God. The difference is not that David and Peter never sinned. They did. The difference is that they turned back to God. Their failures did not become an excuse to remain in rebellion. They recognized their sin and repented.

That is why repentance still matters in the New Testament. Jesus Himself began His ministry with the words, “Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mark 1:15 NKJV). Jesus came to become the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Because of His sacrifice, we no longer need to offer animals as sacrifices for sin. But the removal of animal sacrifices did not mean that God suddenly stopped caring about how we live. Jesus did not die on the cross so that we could say, “I can continue living in sin because I am covered by grace.”

There is a difference between falling into sin and choosing to live in sin. A person who falls and says, “Lord, I have sinned. Please forgive me. Help me change,” is responding to grace with repentance. But a person who knowingly continues in sin and says, “It doesn’t matter because Jesus already paid for it,” is treating grace as an excuse. Paul makes this very clear when he says, “What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!” (Romans 6:15 NKJV).

Think about Paul himself. Before becoming an apostle, Saul persecuted the followers of Jesus. He was going in completely the wrong direction. But when Jesus confronted him, Saul’s life changed. He did not encounter Christ and say, “Now I have grace, so I can continue doing what I was doing.” His encounter with Jesus led him to repentance, faith, and a completely different life. And just to clarify, Scripture does not say that Jesus changed Saul’s name to Paul. Saul was also known as Paul, and Acts later begins referring to him primarily as Paul.

The cross is not a reason for us to take sin lightly. It is actually the reason we should take God’s mercy seriously. Jesus paid a price we could never pay for ourselves. Grace means that even though we have sinned and fallen short, God has made a way for us to be forgiven and reconciled to Him through Jesus Christ. When we fall, we should not run away from God or hide behind the excuse that “grace covers it.” We should run toward Him, confess our sin, repent, and continue walking with Him.

None of us follows God perfectly. We will stumble, we will make mistakes, and we will sometimes fall. But there is a difference between stumbling while trying to follow Christ and deliberately deciding that we no longer care about obedience. This life is not about claiming that we never fail. It is about continuing to turn back to God when we do.

So yes, we are saved by grace. But grace was never given to make us comfortable in sin. Grace gives us another opportunity to come back to God and follow His commandments. It teaches us to leave our old ways behind and walk in a new way.

Christ did not give us grace so that we could stop following Him. He gave us grace so that sinners like us could come back to God.

When we fall, let us repent. When we fail, let us get back up. When we are convicted, let us listen. And when the Most High shows us something in our lives that needs to change, let us not harden our hearts.

The cross should never make us careless about sin. It should make us even more grateful for the One who loved us enough to save us from it.
