In this chapter, we’ll look at The Fruits of the Law under our review of being Born of the Spirit. When Yehovah freed the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, He began the process of establishing a free society under divine law. He promised Israel that if they would live His Law that Israel would enjoy the blessings of life, property and posterity. Yeshua extended these blessings into the Endtime Kingdom of God and His millennial reign. Moreover, we’ll see how the Law affects us into eternity. The Process of Perfection Our Process of Perfection looks like this:
The Kingdom of God Yeshua commanded Judah and all believers to be Born Again to enter the Kingdom of God – John 3:3. Those who have been Born Again have overcome personal sin and receive those blessings promised in God’s covenants are continued. The Blessings of Life The Book of Deuteronomy states that if Israel would obey God’s commands that Israel would have “life”. Generally, the concepts of life include being free from death which comes from the conquest of enemies; the control of disease and being free from the lack of food. “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live ….” Deu 30:15,16 “I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deu 30:18,19 The Blessings of an Enduring Posterity The Law also promises that they will have posterity who will continue in time and eternity. “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply:” Deu 30:15,16; Deuteronomy 8:1; 28:4, 8 The Blessings of a Perpetual Inheritance The Law promises that they would have a continual possession of land. “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.” Deu 30:15,16; Deuteronomy 8:1; 28:4, 8 Receiving God’s Spirit Even though we might receive a temporary manifestation of God’s Spirit to bear witness of His truth, to receive the constant companionship of the Holy Spirit we will need to be Born Again and live God’s law. “And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.” Acts 5:32
Millennium What we see in the Millennium is a continuation of the Kingdom of God. With the rule of the Messiah, we see an expansion of these blessings – believers don't experience death but are translated into an immortal state; posterity will be unfettered; earth size increases; and Israel Savior-God, Yehovah-Yeshua, reigns. “Jehovah’s coming, however, won’t happen by chance or because God is bound by a timetable. What occasions that event—and what qualifies people to inherit Paradise—is their ascent to the spiritual levels of Zion/Jerusalem and beyond and their physical preparation in gathering from exile to receive their God. Until his people attain Paradise as a covenant blessing—a blessing stemming from their keeping the law of his covenant—Jehovah cannot come. While those who imagine otherwise will be disappointed, those who use the trials that precede Jehovah’s coming as a means of purifying and sanctifying their lives may qualify for that glorious age.” Avraham Gileadi, PhD Kingdom of Heaven We saw in the Letters to the Hebrews that Yeshua connected the Tabernacle with heaven - it becomes a model of heaven. We also see a pattern in the scriptures that certain laws can be associated with this model of heaven. The Noahide Laws can be associated with the Inner Court, the Sinaide Laws are associated with the Holy Place and the Davidide Laws are associated with the Holy of Holies. Those who are Born Again and keep the Torah commands inherit the House of the Son.
