COME BACK HOME
The Lord YAHWEH said, "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18. The past is already gone, the future is yet to come - the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us all join forces together to welcome the return of our King, Jesus Christ, to take us with Him to His Kingdom. Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, [there] you may be also.” John 14:1-3. Jesus promised that when He returns He will take us back with Him so that where He is we may also be with Him. Are we ready to meet Him? Are we ready to welcome Him? Are we ready to live with Him? I heard many say “no”. I saw many shaking their heads. Brothers and sisters, what is or are holding us back? Jesus said, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18. Were we having daily affairs with the apostle Paul for decades to cheat Jesus? Were we having daily affairs with the apostle Paul to abolish all of Yahweh's commandments except tithes and offerings? Paul is already dead. Don't worry about having affairs with a dead man. But Jesus is still alive. Don’t let that 30 years of affairs with Paul stop us from welcoming our Lord Jesus Christ. If we repent, God will forgive and forget our stubbornness. God said, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." Hebrews 8:12.
Finally, Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.” "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.” John 14:15,21-24.
I hope John 14:15,21-24 is not what is holding us back from greeting Jesus when He returns for the second time. If keeping Yahweh's commandments is what is holding you back from welcoming Jesus, I have nothing more to say to you other than to state this fact - salvation is not for everyone.

"Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'” Matthew 7:21-23.
Jesus said, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28.
