THATHAT: Don’t Eat Your Hat Rather Listen to the Truth!

The Scripture says,”The truth will set you free, and you will be free indeed.” God wants us to be free to choose to love and serve him. We must always make our choices freely and never under compulsion, duress, out of fear, but because we have become persuaded.

The truth according to the Gospel must be the basis of our faith. Let’s explore what is meant concerning the ‘truth,’ as contained in the Gospel –– Good News for all humankind and that must include all who call upon the name of the Lord for his gift of salvation.

Why do some declare there are many different ways to be delivered –– can this be the case? According to the Tanach –– Hebrew Scriptures together with the New Covenant Scriptures, ‘God has become our Salvation!’ In Isaiah 53:1-12, we are painted a portrait of the Suffering Servant of the LORD –– Adoni. Notwithstanding, while the Servant of the LORD secures our redemption through his self-offering, is only the beginning of our being delivered/saved. Ray Shaul/ Apostle Paul, tells us that we are being saved –– for the process of our being delivered takes a lifetime.

Acts 2:17, NIV: ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.’

I have a dream that God’s plan of Salvation is for all who call upon the Name of Yeshua!

Isaiah 53 New International Version

Isaiah 53: ¹Who has believed our message
    and to has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
²He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
    and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
³He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
    he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

⁴Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
⁵But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
⁶We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

⁷He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
⁸By oppression^[a] and judgment he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    for the transgression of my people he was punished.^[b]
⁹He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
    and though the Lord makes^[c] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
¹¹After he has suffered,
    he will see the light of life^[d] and be satisfied^[e];
by his knowledge^[f] my righteous servant will justify many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.
¹²Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,^[g]
    and he will divide the spoils with the strong,^[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,
    and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
    and made intercession for the transgressors.
