THE BEGINNING OF THE WAY PT 2
THE NEW FAMILY - A NEW MASTER
Through the new birth you come into the family of YAHWEH Elohim (God); you become, in fact, a child of YAHWEH Elohim
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave authority to become sons of Elohim, to the ones believing into His name.” (John 1:12) Now that you have this wonderful new relationship to Elohim (God), the Father will train you in His ways
Just now, having become a child of YAHWEH Elohim (God), you are “a babe,” but you will grow to maturity if you feed on the right things
The food that makes you spiritually strong is the Master Yahshua Messiah (Christ) Himself, and His Word
So, seek to develop regular prayer and Bible reading habits
It is in prayer that you speak to your new Master, and through the Word He speaks to you
Through this two-way fellowship, you “feed” upon Him
That's why Yahshua Messiah said, “I am the Bread of Life.” (John 6:35) In the family of Elohim (God), you have very many brothers and sisters – other believers and followers of Messiah (Christ)
Remember, they are your family, and some of them will be of great help to you
Some will help nurse you
Others will help feed you, and teach you to walk in the ways of the Master
Others will help you to talk and to sing praises to the Redeemer Master
After some time, you yourself will be helping other believers in various ways
So, seek to continue in regular fellowship with other believers
A NEW MASTER
The most wonderful thing about the new birth, is that it links you to the Saviour, the Master, who now becomes your new Master
Before you received Yahshua Messiah as your Saviour, you were serving a cruel, evil, master - Satan
You may not have realized you were serving him - he is so subtle
But it is a fact, until the Master Yahshua Messiah breaks the chains of slavery and sets them free, everyone, voluntarily or involuntarily, serves the devil
The believer is set free from bondage so that he may serve the Living Elohim
And service to YAHWEH Elohim is not bondage
Rather, it's a JOY, for we are brought into a close relationship with the most wonderful Person we could ever know
We have the privilege of being an intimate companion of the Son of YAHWEH Elohim
“The Way” that we are now travelling, is actually the Master Yahshua Messiah (Christ) Himself
The Master said; “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no-one comes to the Father, except through Me.” (John 14:6) Everything concerning the Way relates to Yahshua Messiah, so get to know him better each day
He will lead you and He will keep you right through to the end - the time when you are with Him in Heaven
Keep your eyes upon Him! Don’t set your eyes on people who may, or may not, be good examples
People never come up to our expectations, but the Master Yahshua is never a disappointment
His promise to each one of his people is: “You are My servant, I have chosen you and not rejected you
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your Elohim (God) I will strengthen you; definitely I will help you; I will uphold you with My righteous Right Hand.” (Isaiah 41:9-10)
