Shalom,
You are Welcomed at Tree of Life Ministries Association!

I'm a Completed Jew. A Jew who discovered that throughout the Old Testament GOD has offered to give HIMself in order to pay the price to redeem you and bring you back into a personal relationship with HIM. GOD has a perfect plan designed for your life and He cares about everything you do.

In Genesis 19:15-38, GOD sends two of HIS angels to get Lot and his family out of Sodom before HE destroys that city. GOD's perfect plan is for Lot to take his family into the mountains where he will be safe from the destruction HE has planned for the five cities in the region of Sodom and Gomorrah . Lot can't see himself totally dependent upon GOD and talks his way into the permissive will of GOD by getting permission to live in the smallest of the five cities, Zoar. GOD allows this but as I stated this is HIS permissive will rather than HIS perfect will and it cost Lot his wife. Even though this is enough to get Lot to move into GOD's perfect will it is too late. His wife is dead and his daughters are scared. Many if not most, of the problems you and I face everyday are because we have failed to enter into the perfect will of GOD.

In Genesis 22:5-8 we see where GOD tells how the MESSIAH would come to redeem us unto HIM.

Gen 22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

Gen 22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.

Gen 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?

Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Note that in verse 5 Abraham knew that he and his son would be returning. He knew that GOD would never forsake them. He knew that GOD had promised Abraham this relationship with his son and that he would not now take it away from him. He reinforces this when in verse 8 he tells his son, "GOD will provide himself a lamb"

This very same dualistic view of life is found throughout the Bible. As a Jew the commonly taught and accepted view of the MESSIAH is that HE would come as a conquering king but as already stated, "GOD will provide himself a lamb." Facing this I had to come to a point where I asked why would GOD send HIS MESSIAH before HE had a people that would love HIM and serve HIM? Thus I started searching to find the LAMB. This search is what led me to JESUS.

JESUS gave HIMself on the cross after living a sinless life as the eternal sacrificial LAMB that GOD had foretold us of back in Genesis 22:8 to bring us back into relationship with HIM. HIS sacrifice is available to redeem you if only you will accept it and confess HIM as your MESSIAH, you SAVIOR and your LORD.

Will you accept JESUS today? If you do, please take a minute and tell us about it in the Praise and Worship section of the Forums.
