Disclaimer:
Please know, (As One Studies, You will find) that the letter "J" did not enter into the English Alphabet until roughly less than ~ 500 years ago, around the ~ 16th Century. It was the Last Letter to be added into The English Language! Also, That the name "Jesus" comes from the Greek name "IESOUS" - (which has a lot of controversy surrounding it!)
"IESOUS" is supposed to come from the Hebrew word/Name - "YaHushua" / "YaHusha".
Therefore, it is the Authors "wish" that you recognize - "YaHushua" / "YaHusha".
(Correctly "translated" ---- [not transliterated] into English = "Joshua") as the name intended throughout this outline, which (through research and Prayer) most accurately represents the closest name of our Messiah when He walked this earth.
The name "Jesus" comes up on some of the Modern Day Scripture links throughout this outline, and is kept do to the commonality of it's usage; but it is really considered more of a mis- used nick- name. Each time you see that name, please register
"YaHushua" / "Yahusha", (YHWH Saves / Saved) as the most appropriate name for Him. For almost ~ 1600 years after He (The Messiah) walked the earth, he was not called "Jesus"
- (in Prayer, or anything else).
- When the name was transliterated from the Hebrew, it lost it's meaning!
* Do The Research For Yourself! (Don't Just take my word for it!)
Also, while we are speaking on the Names; it is the Authors wish that you recognize YHWH, as the name intended here (also one of the most accurate names) for Our Heavenly Father.
Shortened Version - YaH (As in Psalms 68:4),
Or in the Phrase "The Highest Praise Be To YaH!" - "HalleluYaH" / (Alleluia - Revelations 19)
For Outline Purposes, you might see the word "GOD", or the words "The LORD" here; again because of the Commonality of it's usage! I do Recognize HIM as The Supreme "Elohiym" (Or The Mighty "El"), and as The LORD of Lords! (Ruler/Master of Rulers/Masters).
Although no one can truly say/pronounce HIS name besides "I AM THAT I AM", or "Hayah Asher Hayah" [English-Hebrew] in (Exodus 3:14). In (Exodus 6:3), most might actually see HIS name as JEHOVAH, or "The LORD" in most of today's Bibles, but the word/Letters that were actually there, and Should be there now are "YHWH" called the Tetragrammaton. And Since the Letters "E", "O", "A" (vowels) were added, and the letters "J", and "V" Did Not Exist in The English Language At The Time! I choose to use a closer name version here - "YaHuaH" or "YaHWeH" (from YHWH) - adding 0 to 2 letters (for pronunciation purposes), instead of Five! You might see during this Outline that I chose to use either above or "YHWH" plainly many times instead of "The LORD", or "GOD" (which are plug-ins, in the Bibles that we read today).
Either way, Our Heavenly Father searches our Hearts to see what's in there. Whether ignorant of certain things, or not, HE will search our Hearts! The Scriptures do have a lot of emphasis on HIS Name; and The Holy Scriptures also tell us to Study to show ourselves approved... Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth! ------- I am striving to do that! ------- Are you doing the same...?

You Might Have to Visit This Page More Than Once!
Moving Onward! ** I Strongly Advise That You Take Notes On This Page! **
Advanced Knowledge!
It is Apparent That All along, Our Heavenly Father has wanted us to Obey HIS Commandments!
We Can Easily see in the Next Verse, what HE (Our Heavenly Father) has Always wanted from HIS People!
Yet we Strayed...
>>>>>>>>>>> The Heart Of The Problem, Was The People's Hearts! <<<<<<<<<<<
The Enemy --> [the devil] was at work, even back then!
We have allowed Satan (The father of Lies)
To gradually move the Hearts of Mankind Away from "Our Heavenly Father's Will and HIS Teachings."
And Yes, We Are All Guilty of that!
After All, way back; didn't we get into this mess - (regarding Sin), when Adam and his wife decided to disobey GOD's Instructions?
We Are All Guilty...
So Let's Fast Forward Now and Talk about a Topic that has Confused "So Many" in Today's Modern Day Church!
" GRACE "
Now, I know that most believers are used to hearing the phrase "Un-merited Favor" when it comes to the definition of "Grace".
And I do believe - when it comes to Redemption, and Salvation; that we as Sinners, definitely do not deserve either!!!
I would add that we cannot Achieve Heaven on our own, without what The Messiah and HIS Father did for us!
But There is More That Applies!
So, Let's Dig a little further!
By Taking a Closer and Deeper Look; Let's Now Strive to Gain More Clarity and Understanding!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Venture on To: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>> Our Heavenly Father's - "Grace" - Towards "HIS" People! <<<
Advanced Knowledge!
The word “Grace” Appears in the "New Testament" 128 Times!
127 of them revert back to the English-Greek word: “Charis”
The Primary definition of "Charis" is:
“Divine Influence upon the Heart, and it’s reflection in the life!” -> Including gratitude!
But It Makes Sense; Because how many people do you see that are actually living/doing the following?
6. "These words, which I am Commanding you today, shall be on your Heart.
[Back Then HE Left it up to us... There was no "Bible" to bring home to the family!]
7. "You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way
and when you lie down and when you rise up.[How Many Do You Know That Do This? Do You Do It??? ]
8. "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.
9. "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
You Don't See Many Doing The Above!
Maybe That's Why This World Has So Many Problems!
Hopefully, One will notice something in the following verses:
(This Pertains To HIS Called/Chosen People!)
(The verses above Deal with Doing the will of GOD from the Heart!)
Now There are Many Scriptures in The Old Testament that Also Deal with Doing The Will of GOD From The Heart;
We have seen some already: (But there are many more in The Psalms, Proverbs, etc.,)
For This Outline; we will keep our focus on The New Testament "Grace",
>>> After The Cross (Stauros/Torture Stake - Death, Burial and Resurrection of The Messiah!) <<<
which many "claim" Eliminated, Diminished, Fulfilled, or Set Aside GOD's Law - because we are now under Grace.
Advanced Knowledge!
We have already seen The New Testament word for Grace (Charis) - and it's core Definition.
Divine Influence Upon the Heart, and it’s reflection in the life!” -> Including gratitude!
Please take a look at another word in the Description!
The New Testament word "Heart", (Strong's # G2588): Is the English-Greek word "Kardia" which appears 97 times in Scripture.
This word also includes the Thoughts of the mind!
I am including the above information, so that we can Get A Better Grasp On Things moving forward!
Now, Let's Tie The Two Together and find out why this becomes important to notice!
Drum Roll Please!!!
In the following "New Testament" verses; Please Tell me: What is put in the Heart? And From Who?
( Hebrews 8:10, and Hebrews 10:14-16)
** A reflection of Jeremiah 31:33 **
Hmmmmmm? Food For Thought!
Could that be “Divine Influence” -> Also, a Link Between GOD and HIS People?
** I Would have to say "Yes!" **
Is That Doing Away With HIS Law?
For Those that have Eyes to see, and Can Read;
** I Would have to say -> "NO!" **
Does this Diminish what The Messiah did for us... Certainly Not! You will Find, It Enhances it!
So you see, True Grace, is not doing Away with HIS Law ( Disregarding what GOD had Instructed / Commanded);
It is really having it established in Your Heart, so you can know and then do The Will of GOD!
It's not HIS Law or HIS Grace... It's a Combination of the Two - dealing with HIS people!
Having HIS Law Established in your Heart;
Can enable you to know what is Pleasing or Displeasing to HIM!
In Other Words:
Abiding By What HE Says, or Not Abiding By What HE Says!
King David was known to have a Heart After GOD, maybe this writing of his can speak to that account - (Psalms 51:2-10-14)
The LORD's Holy Spirit Can Help; when we Surrender our Heart and Life; Seeking, and Striving to obey HIS Will!
[This entails - Surrendering To HIS Teachings/Instructions And Commandments! HIS Ways!]
Towards Our Heavenly Father:
What Kind of Child Will You Be;
One That Pleases, Or One That Displeases?
Hmmmmmmmm...
Now, This Question comes to mind - for HIS people:
Will GOD NOTICE? (Psalms 44:21, Proverbs 20:11-12, 24:12)
Does GOD Even Notice "How" Our Hearts are - Towards HIM?
How do we truly show Our Love Towards GOD in this world?
We Hear it all the time: - "Love GOD with All Your Heart!"
** But How Do We Do That? **
How do we Strive to keep a Perfect Heart towards HIM?
We will go to the Scriptures again, to find out!
The Following Verses Should Help!
( 2 Chronicles 16:9, - 1 Kings 8:57-61 )
If A New Testament Verse is Needed?
How about More Scripture at The Back of The Bible [After The Cross]: (1 John 5:3)
1 John 5:3
3. For this is the love of God, that we keep HIS commandments.
And HIS commandments are not grievous (burdensome).
Here is something we all need to know; And Should reflect on as well!
(Again, This is Scripture that happens, or comes After The Cross, in The New Testament - towards the end of the Bible!)
3. And hereby we do know that we know HIM, if we keep HIS Commandments.
4. He that saith, I know HIM, and keepeth not HIS Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5. But whoso keepeth HIS word, in him verily is the Love of GOD perfected: hereby know we that we are in HIM.
Be Honest; Do you have the mindset of the below Verse - Active in your life?
8. I delight to do Your Will, O my GOD;
Your Law is within my heart.
Here is a Medley of Scripture that One might want to see/revisit as to how our Heart Should be towards The Most High!
>>>>> Proverbs 10:8, 11:20, 16:1, 9, 19:16, 20-21, 20:5 -- Proverbs 2:1, 3:1, 4:4, 7:1, 7:2, And Beyond... <<<<<
Now
On The Previous Page, we saw the Biblical Definition of Sin
"... Sin is the transgression of The Law!" (1 John 3:4)
But we are constantly being told by Pastors/Other, that The Law was done away with! :-(
"This Presents us with a Dilemma!"
Again, if the very thing that Defines Sin, is done away with, how will Society gauge Sin?
Anything could be made up! And as Time passed by, you would notice a change in Society... For the worse!
I wonder... (On TV, In The Schools, In The Video Games, in The Streets, In Families, etc., ) Can you see that happening now?
Just in the last recent years, we have seen an obvious Moral Decay in Our Society, And around the World!
It seems like this mindset has crept in: Let us mold GOD into what we want HIM to be. [Instead of the other way around.]
Isn't HE The Potter, and we - the clay! We actually should be getting molded by HIM / HIS Teachings! Right!
If what GOD taught - started to fade away in Society, and Man's created teachings started to grow.
(teachings that Could have originated by the Lusts & Desires of the flesh, involving things that are Not OK with GOD - i.e., Sin)
If that Happens:
Our Children, by what they are exposed to; might think it is OK, or normal to do things (that actually transgress HIS Law).
In Other words; Sin and Iniquity could Abound, and it would seem normal.
Could This Be Happening in Society Now? (Even in some of our local Churches?)
(Note: HIS Peculiar people can easily see that it Does! - It Does Actually Happen in Today's Society!)
The Messiah Talked about it ~ 2000 years ago!
And Things have gotten worse!
What did He Say Below? Does it still stand True in Our Modern Day Time?
The Answer is: Yes!
** ( Mark 7:6-9 ) **
Let’s take a look, to explore what He said! ( Mark 7:6-9 )
Mark 7:6 He [The Messiah] answered and said unto them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites
as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, but their Heart is far from me. Mark 7:7 How-be-it in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark 7:8 For laying aside the Commandment of GOD, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of
pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Mark 7:9 And He [The Messiah] said unto them, Full well ye reject the Commandment of GOD,
:-( that ye may keep your own tradition. :-(
I have heard people Preach (using) the passage of Scripture Below; But Take Heed!
** ( 2 Timothy 4:1-5 ) **
For The Contents of the Above Scripture Reign in Today's Society! In other words; "That Time Has Come!"
Times have gotten so bad, that:
"Most" Christians can not even name the Ten Commandments without going and looking them up first!
Possibly this applies to you also?
(Quiz yourself!) - If you do not know them right offhand; you can view: (Exodus 20:1-17) As a Reference!
Advanced Knowledge!
Now before we continue! We have to have an understanding that there are differences between the following:
** Commandments Of GOD, commandments of men, Ordinances, Statutes, and Judgments. **
One Should Know: That In The Scriptures (by suggestion); There is The Moral Law, The Civil Law, and The Ceremonial Law!
(Contained within Torah & beyond)
When Reading Scripture; You should know which Context The Scripture is referring to!
While We are on the topic;
We can also make a distinct case for some differences between: GOD’s Law, Law of Moses, & law of Man.
* A Few Examples of “Law of Moses” - (1 Corinthians 9:9, Joshua 8:31, John 8:5, Luke 24:44/John 1:45, Luke 2:22)
If You Need a Visual Mindset to aid you in acknowledging a Physical Difference, then know this;
GOD's Law went on the "Inside" of The Ark of The Covenant (Exodus 40:20)
Moses' law was placed on the "Outside" of it! (Deuteronomy 31:26)
To Learn More Differences; See Below!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Ten Commandment Law of GOD vs. The Law of Moses
“I just thought one should know the Difference!” ;-)
GOD’s Law (Towrah, Torah), was given for Our Good; containing HIS Teachings, and HIS Instructions!
If someone has a Problem with that; Take it up with GOD, because HIS Teachings ---> Reflect HIS Character!
* Charts (significantly inspired / slightly modified) shown as a reference from the book "Ten Commandments Twice Removed" by Co-Authors Danny Shelton & Shelley Quinn.
Something to think about, the next time! When Thinking about GOD’s Character! & “HIS Instructions!”
Do you think HE was trying to raise us up, to be like someone else, Or to be like HIM?
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom Come.
"Thy Will" Be Done In Earth, as it is in Heaven!
Our Enemy/"Satan" got kicked out of Heaven, because GOD was Not Pleased with him! Neither Will GOD let others into Heaven, if Again, HE is not pleased with them either! Satan knows who he is up against (and the one's that he and his are targeting!) He does not want others to have what he himself lost, and what he himself can not have anymore! So, he tries to get GOD displeased with us too! We all know that he is jealous! He had it all once, and messed up, and will be forever regretting it! We all know that he looks at his mission to try and stop others from gaining Salvation, or going on to paradise. And we know that he continues to try to win as many as he can get, to come over to his dark and dying world in the process! We have to be careful/alert to his ways, because he is very cunning and deceptive; and trust me, he knows what he is doing! After all, he is the father of Lies, and has already deceived or fooled many!
- Just Look at The World Today!
Satan tries hard to deceive many; to keep us from knowing a specific condition [of importance] located at the end of The Book/Bible!
But We Don't have to stay ignorant! We Can Pay Attention to The Last Chapter of The Bible/End of Scripture - if we "choose" to!
- Because it Does tell us something of extreme importance!
(Revelation 22:14)
14. Blessed are they that do HIS Commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city. [HIS/His - GOD's Kingdom!]
If you don't fit the Character description in the following verse...
Most likely you will not have a problem with Our Adversary/The enemy of GOD! But then again, there is always the flip side:
If Satan doesn't have a problem with you; Your problem in all likelihood is with The Most High GOD, and HIS Son!
And If this is the case, I would not want to be in your shoes on the day of Judgment!
To understand who Satan despises... Just See: (Revelation 12:17)
Just a Note, after reading the above Verse:
* You Should easily See that Satan was concerned about Two things, Not just One!
#1. Having the testimony of YaHushua (“Jesus”)
- To Believe that He was born, died and rose again (the 3rd day) for this world's Redemption of Sins [past] - is Great!
But the Demons believe that Too!
Is it Enough?
The Answer is NO!
#2. It is also about doing Our Heavenly Father's Will from the Heart,
and turning away from those things that are outside of it/against HIS Will.
If you don't do this, get used to the devil (& his) tormenting you [Long-term] when you don't make it into Heaven!
Note: To look a little deeper at the above statements that were just made; we need to reflect back on some more Scripture!
And with hope, we should gain more understanding!
Matthew 7:21 - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord [Master, Master], shall enter into The Kingdom of Heaven,
but he that doeth the “Will” of My Father, Who is in Heaven.Accepting The Messiah (as Savior), but forgetting the Obedience part to His/our Father (and His/our GOD) Just won't do!
Remember, He Himself, had to be Obedient/subject to His Father, for our sakes! And To be Honest; for His Sake Too!
(John 10:17-18, Luke 22:42-44, Hebrews 5:7-9)
Now, I know that the last few words about The Messiah could have ruffled some feathers...
And You might not have ever heard this, or even thought about it before...
but, we are dealing with Truth Right, so here goes!
Well...
Before I make this statement; Please know that I love Yahushua Ha Mashiyach (The Messiah) with all of my heart!
And I am So, so thankful for what He & His Father did for me!
But I Too, Strive to Operate by Ruach Ha Qodesh (The Holy Spirit)... So I must Tell The Truth!
Remember - He too (The Promised Messiah), had to adhere to doing HIS Father's Will also, To enter into Heaven!
Or Else...
He, Himself would have been labeled a hypocrite regarding His very own Teachings, (earlier statement by Him above!)
Relationship & Spoken Word! [John 20:17, John 12:49-50]
And if that happened, we would No-longer be able to call Him "The Truth!"
But... With a Sincere, Heartfelt - Thank You!!! We know what His Final Decision was! :-)
"Not My Will, But THY [His Father's] WILL Be Done!"
He Begged and Begged (while in Anguish - Luke 22:44) for about ~ 3 hours, for His responsibility to be taken away...
But Again, He sucked it up, and went through with it! (For Our Sakes, and For His!)
Result: Pleasing Our Heavenly Father, and redeeming us back to GOD through His Shed Blood! :-)
Again, for a deeper look at this; See (Isaiah 53:10-12, and Hebrews 5:7-9, Revelations 5:9-13)
Hopefully, I will not have to go deeper than what has already been supplied... (In a Nutshell - Romans 5:19)
Regarding Our Messiah, and "His Obedience" to Our Heavenly Father on both His, and Our behalf!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Advanced Knowledge!
Taking it to Another Level!!!
(And Making Sure that we don't loose focus of the Topic at hand).
We are about to talk about something that Sadly again, "most" Christians simply do not know!
(And it really does sadden me to know that most people are ignorant of this fact!)
But if you have read this far; it means that you should be serious about gaining better understanding, so here we go!
The word “Iniquity” (in the New Testament) most commonly reverts back to the English-Greek word “Anomia”,
It’s Primary definition is: “Illegality, Violation or Transgression of GOD’s Holy Law” The other Two words for Iniquity are very similar (Adikia - Moral Wrongfulness/UnRighteousness & ParAnomia - Transgression)
Now, lets take a closer look in Scripture where this word "Anomia" appears! (In Some Bibles it appears as: "Lawlessness!")
Please Click the following Link: ( Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 13:36-43 - Proverbs 2:22 ). Then take heed to ( John 14:6 )

Striving To Get Truth Revealed!
May Our Heavenly Father Give HIS Blessing!
(1 John 5:3)
3. For this is the "Love of GOD", that we "keep HIS Commandments:"
And HIS Commandments are not grievous (burdensome).
Hmmmmmm? - Hmmmmmm? - Hmmmmmm? - Hmmmmmm?
We have been told by so many - to love GOD with all of our heart, but no one usually tells us how to do that!
To Get Outside The Box (of Not Knowing!) - > < - Read/See The Above Verse Again!
Now when someone hears The Phrase: "Love GOD with All Your Heart, ... " It Might just make a little more sense! ;-)
If you're curious about the Second Great Commandment;
It is also Quoted from the Old Testament [ The "Love Thy Neighbor" part is from - Leviticus 19:18 ]
(John 14:6)
6. Jesus [YaHushua] said unto him,
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
This is Important!
The Messiah states that He is "The Way", ( The Truth & The Life );
He also states that No man can come unto The [Heavenly] Father, except by Him!
But We Also Have to Acknowledge What The Messiah States in - (Matthew 7:21 & 23)
He (The Messiah) Tells people - how they can enter into The Kingdom of Heaven!
21. Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven,
but - he who does The Will - Of My Father Who is in Heaven - Will enter.
* He (The Messiah) then gives the Reason why He will turn people away! Telling them to Depart from Him - ("The Way").
23. And then will I profess unto them, "I never knew you: depart from Me, Ye that work Iniquity."
In Some Versions like (NASB, NKJV, etc.,) it actually says "Lawlessness" instead of "Iniquity" there.
Example: ( Matthew 7:23 )
Very Important!!! - Don't miss The Messiah's Warning!
Remember what the Primary Definition for "Iniquity" is!
It's Very Important!!!
“Illegality (Deals with Law), Violation or Transgression of GOD’s Holy Law”
For a More Detailed Look; And Some Key Verses Associated with it's Importance:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now Think About This!
If The Messiah is The Only Way To Our Heavenly Father / Heaven,
And
He - Will Deny/Turn People Away For A Very Specific Reason - (Which He Foretells);
Shouldn't "We" Pay Attention to that Reason!
Satan definitely Does! But he has also been trying desperately to deceive others into thinking it really doesn't matter!!!
Hmmmmmmmm!

(New Testament - "Grace")
The Primary definition of "Charis" is:
“Divine Influence Upon the Heart, and it’s reflection in the life!” -> Including gratitude!
Hmmmmmmmmm...
Divine Influence upon the Heart?
That's different from what I was originally taught about Grace! What about you?
(Romans 6:17-18)
17. But GOD be thanked that though ye were the servants of sin,
now ye have "Obeyed" from "The Heart" that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18. Being then made free from sin,
ye became "the Servants" of Righteousness.(Hebrews 8:10)
10. FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT - THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS,
AND I WILL WRITE THEM [HIS Laws!] ON THEIR HEARTS.
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD,
