Every Word Backed by The Word
We don't speak our own words. Every claim, every rebuke, every call to repentance is rooted in Scripture. Here are the biblical references that support the messages in our music.
"All Scripture is breathed out by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" - 2 Timothy 3:16
"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? ...For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead."
The main theme - faith must produce action
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Master, Master,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Master, Master,' ...And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'"
"Depart from me, workers of lawlessness" - directly quoted
"You believe that Elohim is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!"
"Even demons believe, they tremble and shake"
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to YHWH your Elohim."
The Fourth Commandment - unchanged
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."
Messiah didn't abolish the commands
"And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says 'I know him' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
Keeping commands = knowing Him
"Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of Elohim and their faith in Yahushua."
End-time saints keep commands AND faith
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?"
Paul himself refutes using grace as excuse
"For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our Elohim into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Yahushua Messiah."
Warning against perverting grace
"For the grace of Elohim has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age"
Grace teaches us to live set-apart
"But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does Elohim's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth."
"Talk is cheap" - love requires action
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me...'"
Feed the hungry, clothe the poor
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before Elohim the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."
True religion is action, not performance
"But the one who endures to the end will be saved."
Not "once saved always saved"
"For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries."
Can't continue in sin after knowing truth
"For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Master and Savior Yahushua Messiah, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first."
Can fall away after being saved
"Bear fruit in keeping with repentance."
John the Baptist's call
"A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, 'Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down...'"
The fig tree with no fruit
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
True faith produces spiritual fruit
"I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."
"Either hot or cold, or you face the knife"
"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other."
No compromise - choose your side
"...Messiah loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish."
The pure bride He's coming for
"Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints."
Righteous deeds = wedding garments
