How to find those who truly follow Y‘shuaIn this world of confusing Christian denominations, how does a person go about finding the Father's elect
children who truly serve him and his Son Y‘shua? How does one find a group of true Believers? It should be
obvious that Y‘shua is not the founder of the tens of thousands of competing Christian organisations and
congregational associations, so how can a person find people who truly serve the Sovereign Father and his
Son?
Are there identifying marks, signs, or something that we can observe that will help us to recognise true
Believers? The answer is yes! True Believers can be identified and separated from those who are not. The
following are some major points to look for when determining if someone is being guided by Y‘shua and the
Father's Holy Spirit:
Obedience to Yah's laws.
Brotherly love.
Observance of Yah's seventh-day Sabbath.
Observance of Yah's commanded observances and festivals.
Non-participation in pagan worship systems, such as Christmas, Easter, etc.
Distinctly separate from other religions.
Preach the Kingdom of YHWH.
Understand the purpose of the called-out assembly.
Understand YHWH's plan of salvation for humanity.
Yah's people obey his laws, precepts and principles (Torah). His people recognise that He has set in motion
laws which will bring blessings in every area of their lives if they are obeyed. Yah's people will boldly
proclaim that his laws, precepts and principles are not abolished; but they have been expanded to cover
every aspect of human activity (Isaiah 42:21; Mat 5:17-18). Yah's people say with King David, ―Your word is
a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105); and they recognise that YHWH's Torah is one of
his greatest gifts to humanity.
The apostle John has a stinging rebuke for those who say they know YHWH and do not keep his law:
―He that says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him". (1
John 2:4)
YHWH's people recognise that a requirement for maintaining a harmonious relationship with the Father and
Y‘shua is keeping the commandments. Moreover, YHWH's people show their love for YHWH and their
concern for each other through keeping the Father's Torah:
Y‘shua said, ―If you love me, keep my commandments". (John 14:15)
―By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments; and his
commandments are not grievous". (1 John 5:2-3)
Brotherly Love―By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if we have love one to another". (John 13:35)
Although love for those within the body of Y‘shua may not seem to be a major sign of Yah's people, it is
nonetheless. In a world torn with strife, war, divorce, murder, anger, hatred and violence, true love and
concern for another person is rare indeed; and it is truly a sign of the people who follow the one who loved
the world enough to give his life for it.
The Seventh-Day SabbathYHWH's people observe his seventh-day Sabbath, his commanded observances, and his holy convocations:
(15) ―Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever
does any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
(16) Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their
generations, for a perpetual covenant.
(17) It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed‖. (Exod 31:15-17)
