Hello,

I would like to share with you the Good News of Salvation in Yeshua(Jesus), our Savior.

TheGood News is that God gives salvation to men (forgiveness of sins andeternal life), through faith in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah,repentance, and baptism in His name.

Indeed, in the Bible (inthe law), the forgiveness of sins was accessible to men, through theatoning sacrifices of animals. But since the destruction of theTemple, these atoning sacrifices are no longer possible. And thesacrifices of animals outside the altar of the Temple, are forbiddenin the law. (Bible: Leviticus 17: 1-11).

That is why LordYeshua (Jesus) came into the world 2000 years ago: to fulfill the lawand the prophets.
He gave His life as an atoning sacrifice, tosave us. To obtain salvation (forgiveness of sins and eternallife).

The texts of the prophets in the Bible testify to this.In particular, the prophecy of Isaiah 53. As we see below:

Isaïah53

1Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of theLord been revealed? 2 For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and asa root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that weshould look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him. 3 Hewas despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquaintedwith disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he wasdespised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely our diseases he did bear,and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smittenof God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushedbecause of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was uponhim, and with his stripes we were healed.

6All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way;and the Lord hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all. 7 Hewas oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; asa lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before hershearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth. 8 By oppression andjudgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason?for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for thetransgression of my people to whom the stroke was due. 9 And theymade his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; althoughhe had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.’ 10Yet it pleased the Lord to crush him by disease; to see if his soulwould offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed,prolong his days, and that the purpose of the Lord might prosper byhis hand: 11 Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full,even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous Oneto the many, and their iniquities he did bear. 12 Therefore will Idivide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoilwith the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and wasnumbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, andmade intercession for the transgressors.



AfterHis atoning sacrifice, He was resurrected on the third day. Then Hecame back to God.
And He sits at the right hand of God, until the day He returns from theclouds of heaven. The texts of the prophets in the Bible bear witnessto this. (Psalm 16, Psalm 110)

To receive salvation, therefore, one must repent of one’s sins, havefaith in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah, and be baptized in Hisname.

The Lord Yeshua (Jesus) said in the Gospels:


Luke 4: 14-22

14And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and therewent out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15. Andhe taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16. Andhe came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his customwas, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up forto read. 17. And there was delivered unto him the book of theprophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the placewhere it was written, 18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hathsent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to thecaptives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at libertythem that are bruised, 19. To preach the acceptable year ofthe Lord.

20. Andhe closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and satdown. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue werefastened on him. 21. And he began to say unto them, This day isthis scripture fulfilled in your ears.


Luke15 : 3-10

3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4“Supposeone of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t heleave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheepuntil he finds it? 5Andwhen he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6andgoes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says,‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7Itell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heavenover one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous personswho do not need to repent.

8“Orsuppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn’tshe light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until shefinds it? 9Andwhen she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together andsays, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10Inthe same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of theangels of God over one sinner who repents.”


Mathiew11

28.Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavyladen, and I will give you rest.

29. Takemy yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30. Formy yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


Luke22

Andwhen the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles withhim.

15.And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat thispassover with you before I suffer: 16. ForI say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it befulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide itamong yourselves: 18. ForI say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until thekingdom of God shall come.

19. Andhe took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them,saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do inremembrance of me.

20. Likewisealso the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament inmy blood, which is shed for you.


John10: 9-11

7. Thensaid Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am thedoor of the sheep. 8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep didnot hear them. 9. Iam the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shallgo in and out, and find pasture.

10. Thethief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I amcome that they might have life, and that they might have it moreabundantly.

11. Iam the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for thesheep.


John10 : 17-18

17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that Imight take it again. 18. No man taketh it from me, but I lay itdown of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to takeit again. This commandment have I received of my Father.


John14

Letnot your heart be troubled : ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2.In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I wouldhave told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if Igo and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive youunto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4. Andwhither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5. Thomas saith untohim, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know theway? 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and thelife: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


Mark1: 14

Nowafter that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilée,preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God; 15 Andsaying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:repent ye, and bielieve the Gospel.


Mathiew4: 17

Fromthat time Jesus began to preach, and to say,Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.



AndHis apostles had said:


John3 : 16-18

ForGod so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, thatwhoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17ForGod did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but tosave the world through him. 18Whoeverbelieves in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe standscondemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’sone and only Son.


Acts17: 30

Andthe times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all menevery where to repent: 31. Because he hath appointed a day, in thewhich he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom hehath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in thathe hath raised him from the dead. God, without taking into accounttime of ignorance, announces now to all men, everywhere, that theyhave to regret, 17.31 because he fixed a day when he will judge theworld according to justice, by the man whom he indicated, certainproof of which he gave all, by reviving him of dead.


Acts4: 12

Neitheris there salvation in any other: for there is none other name underheaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


Acts2.37-39

ThenPeter said unto them, Repent, and be baptizedevery one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission ofsins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39. Forthe promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that areafar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
