This teaching delves into the significance of the covenant established by YHVH with His people. Through a detailed examination of key Scriptures, you will gain insights into the promises and responsibilities that come with this sacred relationship.

“For though Adam first sinned, and brought untimely death upon all, yet of those who were born from him, each one of them has prepared for his own soul torment to come, and again each one of them has chosen for himself glories to come.” (2 Baruch 55:22)

“Adam is therefore not the cause, save only of his own soul; but each of us has been the Adam of his own soul.” (2 Baruch 54:19)

Adam’s sin opened the door to death, but each person bears responsibility for their own choices and destiny. Scripture teaches that nothing is hidden from YHVH. “For Elohim will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:14). Even our words are weighed: “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.” (Matthew 12:36).

The angels record our lives of our actions, our words, and our thoughts. “Then those who feared YHVH spoke with one another. YHVH paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who feared YHVH and esteemed His name.” (Malachi 3:16).

And at the end of days, “the books were opened… and the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” (Revelation 20:12).

To my understanding, everything in our lives is recorded from our birth to our death. Everything we do—good or evil—is written: our choices, our obedience, and our rebellion. These testimonies will stand as witnesses, either for us or against us, when we stand before YHVH. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

Scripture even tells us that YHVH keeps a record: “Then those who feared YHVH spoke with one another, and YHVH paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who feared YHVH and esteemed His name.” (Malachi 3:16)

The ancient writings also remind us of personal responsibility. “Adam is therefore not the cause, save only of his own soul; but each of us has been the Adam of his own soul.”

(2 Baruch 54:19). And again: “For though Adam first sinned, and brought untimely death upon all, yet of those who were born from him, each one of them has prepared for his own soul torment to come, and again each one of them has chosen for himself glories to come.” (2 Baruch 55:22).

Will Yeshua see your name in the Book of Life? “And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15). Will YHVH see your sins washed in the blood of the Lamb? “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood…” (Revelation 1:5).

If you are reading this, it is not too late. Return to the ancient paths so your soul may find rest:
“Thus says YHVH: Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.” (Jeremiah 6:16).

Embrace the gift of Teshuvah, the act of repentance, before it is too late. As it is written: “I tell you, no; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3).
