The Narrow Way Torah Observant Fellowship:
The Whole Bible is the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of ADONAI.
There is one God who reveals Himself as: Father (Elohim/ Adonai), Son (Yeshua) and Holy Spirit (Ruach Ha Kodesh)
Adonai Created All Things With His Word. (Gen.1:1, Ps.33:6, Jn. 1:1-3, Eph. 3:9, Col. 1:16)
- Adonai is One. (Deut. 6:4-5, Mark 12:28-30)
- All creation is subject to His Word. (Heb. 1:3)
- Adonai's creation was perfect until man transgressed an instruction of Adonai and death entered the world. (Gen. 2:17, Rom. 5:12)
- Sin is defined in the Scripture as the transgression of the Torah (Law). (1 Jn. 3:4)
- All Scripture is Adonai breathed and is instruction in righteousness and none has been abolished. (2 Timothy 3:16, Mat. 5:17-20)
- The punishment of an unrepentant lifestyle of sin is death. (Rom.6:23)
- Yeshua (the One called Jesus) was born as the Word of Adonai made flesh and obeyed the Torah perfectly. (Jn. 1:14, Heb. 4:15)
- Yeshua was born of a virgin. (Mat. 1:18)
- Yeshua is the Son of Adonai and the perfect representation of Elohim on the earth. (Col.1:14-15)
- The fullness of Adonai dwells in Yeshua. (Col.2:9-10)
- Yeshua is the Lamb of Adonai who takes away the sin of the world. (Jn. 1:29, 1 Cor. 5:7)
- Yeshua died for our sins, was buried, and raised from the dead according to the Scriptures. (1 Cor. 15:3-4)
- Yeshua ascended to the right hand of the Father. (Acts 1:9-11, Eph. 1:20-21)
- The Set-apart Spirit was poured out on the believers. (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-4, 33)
- Yeshua is the Mediator of the New Covenant. (Mat. 26:28, I Tim. 2:5)
- Justification comes by favor through belief in Yeshua alone. (Eph. 2:8-9)
- We are born again unto good works (obedience to the Torah) which Adonai has prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Eph. 2:10)
- We are obedient because of our belief unto justification not justified because of Torah observance apart from belief in Yeshua. (Gal. 2:15-17)
- Yeshua took the death out of the Law for believers. We don't obey because we're terrified of the death penalty, we obey because we love the One who paid our death penalty. (1 Jn 2:1-6, Jn. 14:15, 1 Jn. 4:19)
- Yeshua lived, died, and was raised to fulfill the promise made to Abraham that the Indwelling Set-apart Spirit would be made available to all the nations through belief in Messiah. (Gal. 3:13-16)
- Through belief in Yeshua, the Indwelling Set-apart Spirit gives the believer the "want to" and the "power to" be obedient. This is the "Good News" we are commanded to tell all people. (Eze. 36:25-27, Jer. 31:31-34, Rom. 7:18-8:4, Mark 16:15-16)
- Yeshua will return and receive the righteous unto Himself. (Jn. 14:2-3, 1 Thes. 4:13-17)
- He will establish His Kingdom and rule the earth for a thousand years of shalom. (Rev. 20:4-6)
- The nations will be judged at the sheep and goats judgment. (Mat. 25:31-46)
- The righteous shall rule with Him in His Kingdom. (Rev. 19:6-9)
- Heaven will come down to the earth. (Rev. 21:1, 9-27)
- The Great White Throne Judgment will take place. (Rev. 20:11-15)
- The Kingdom will be returned to the Father. (1 Cor. 15:23-24)
Everyone who keeps sinning is violating Torah — indeed, sin is violation of Torah. 1 John 3:4
Moreover I will give you a new heart. I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the stony heart from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Ruach within you. Then I will cause you to walk in My laws, so you will keep My rulings and do them. - Ezek 36:26 TLV
Yeshua said to her, “I AM the Resurrection and the Life! Whoever puts his trust in me will live, even if he dies; and everyone living and trusting in me will never die. " John 11:25-26 TLV
For if we have become joined together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also will be joined together in His resurrection knowing our old man was crucified with Him so that the sinful body might be done away with, so we no longer serve sin. For he who has died is set free from sin.
Now if we have died with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with Him. We know that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, no longer dies; death no longer is master over Him. For the death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. So also continually count yourselves both dead to sin and alive to God in Messiah Yeshua. Romans 6: 5-11 TLV
