Yahchanan
6:44—
No man can come to Me, unless the
Father, Who has sent Me, draws him; and
I will establish him as a priest at the last day.
Yahshua Messiah said the following.
No man can come to Me, unless the Father, Who has sent Me, draws him; and I will establish him as a priest at the last day.
When we are called out of this world by Yahweh's Holy Spirit and begin to understand the importance of Yahweh's Holy Scriptures in our lives, we, even then, are only half of the creation Yahweh requires us to be, in order for us to enter His Kingdom. To understand this, we must understand the Plan of Yahweh.
When Yahshua was resurrected from the dead, He became the firstborn of many brothers.
For whom He did foreknow, He also did foreordain to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
When we are conformed to Yahshua we will also be conformed to the Father Yahweh, because Yahshua conformed to be exactly like the Father.
Who, being the reflection of the perfection of Yahweh, and the representation of Yahweh's plan, by upholding all things concerning that which was spoken by Yahweh through the Law and the prophets, when He had purged sin, sat down on the right hand of Yahweh on high;
The definition of the word conform from Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language is to make the same or similar, to bring into harmony or agreement; to be in accord or agreement.
In order to receive the reward of eternal life, as Yahshua did, we must be conformed to the same image that Yahshua obtained.
The next question is, how did Yahshua obtain this image? Scriptures show that He was not born with this image but through a process, He became the perfect creation of Yahweh.
...the first perfected of Yahweh's creation...
Yahweh's perfected creation becomes our hope. We will become perfectly created if we overcome, just as Yahshua is the first perfected now. Yahshua is only the beginning, the first. There are many more to be made perfect and to become Yahshua's brothers, the actual sons of Yahweh.
For He is the Head of the body, the called out ones, Who is the beginning of the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things He may have the pre-eminence.
Keep in mind what the Apostle Shaul said in Romans 10:4. Yahshua is the ultimate result of keeping the Law of Yahweh. Now, notice the warning recorded for us in the following Scriptures.
For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore, I am glad on your behalf, but I want you to be wise in what is righteous and simple, concerning evil .
