When the young man asked Yeshua what he must do to have eternal life, Yeshua seems to set the man up for a fall when he declares, \u201cIf you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.\u201d Yeshua is not being disingenuous here. Were one to keep the Torah perfectly without sinning, hypothetically, one would not fall under the death penalty for violating the laws of Elohim (i.e., sin). Presumably one could earn eternal life by one\u2019s own good works. But no man has ever accomplished this superhuman feat except the superhuman Yeshua! Continuing, when the young ruler proudly declares his perfect Torah obedience, Yeshua shows him that he was, in fact, violating the Torah in at least one area\u2014covetousness and greed. Yeshua shows him how to come into Torah compliance, and then admonishes him to come and to follow him. What Yeshua is teaching here is that it\u2019s impossible to keep the Torah perfectly without factoring Yeshua, the Living Torah, into the equation. The point that we can\u2019t keep the Torah without Yeshua directly intervening in our lives, I hope to conclusively demonstrate below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2012\/04\/07\/what-is-the-midpoint-of-the-torah\/torah-scroll-open-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-513\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-513\" alt=\"Torah scroll open 2\" src=\"http:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Torah-scroll-open-2-256x300.jpg\" width=\"256\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Torah-scroll-open-2-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Torah-scroll-open-2.jpg 342w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One way that Yeshua helps his followers obey the Torah is by sending us his Spirit as an internal spiritual force into our hearts to nudge and lead us into Torah-obedience.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, Yeshua also gives us the divine gift of his grace to accomplish the same thing. His grace removes the guilt, stain and penalties for our past sins, and with a clear conscience and a clean spiritual slate before YHVH, minus the past baggage of sin weighing us down, we are able to go forward under the power of YHVH\u2019s Spirit to walk in accordance with his Torah. Praise Yeshua! An illustration of this would be a runner who trains wearing a backpack filled with rocks. Once the weight is removed from his back, when he runs, he feels as if he were flying through the air.<\/p>\n<p>Our faith in, love for and continual abiding in Yeshua is the key to receiving his <b><i>systemic spiritual empowerment<\/i><\/b> to walk a life that mirrors Yeshua. Paul invites us <!--more-->to imitate Yeshua as he himself imitated Yeshua (1 Cor 11:1). The word <i>Christian<\/i> means \u201cone who follows what Christ did and taught.\u201d One follows Yeshua by abiding in him as a branch abides in or is attached to a vine (John 15:4\u20135). A branch that is attached to a tree naturally, through no effort of its own, receives energy from the tree and produces fruit. The energy of life just naturally flows into the branch. When we abide in Yeshua, we will naturally produce the fruit of the Spirit. Love is the first and foremost fruit out of which all the other fruits subdivide. How do we walk in love toward YHVH and love toward our neighbor? The biblical answer is simple: by keeping his Torah commandment, which show us how to love. As Paul tersely declares, \u201cLove is the fulfilling of the Torah-law\u201d (see Rom 13:8\u201310).<\/p>\n<p>Our abiding faith in Yeshua automatically attaches us to that spiritual tree that is a spiritual picture of him; it is the tree of life, which leads to eternal life in the kingdom of Elohim. As we abide in him, we will produce fruits of righteousness, which is adherence to the Torah of Elohim. Yeshua extends his grace to us, and our faith in Yeshua, and Yeshua living in us produces righteousness leading to eternal life (Rom 5:21).<\/p>\n<p>As sap flows from a tree into the branches, so the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua flows out of Yeshua, who is the tree of life, into us freeing us from the spirit of Torahlessness,which leads to death. Not only did Yeshua free us from the wages of sin (or Torahlessness), which is death, but his life in us now fulfills the righteous requirements of the Torah. He empowers us to no longer walk according to the sinful flesh, but according to the Spirit of truth (or Torah, Rom 8:1\u20134, 10). It is for this reason that Paul could exuberantly proclaim that \u201cif Elohim is for us, who can be against us?\u201d (Rom 8:31), and, \u201cIn all things we are more than conquerors through him [Yeshua] who loved us\u201d (Rom 8:37).<\/p>\n<p>Having previously been an unloving, even hate-filled, legalistic Torah-keeping Pharisee, Paul knew that it was impossible to fulfill the righteous requirements of the Torah by his own strength. Before coming to faith in Yeshua, he had tried to keep the Torah by his own strength and failed. He learned that he could serve Elohim <b><i>only<\/i><\/b> through the power of the Spirit of Elohim, not in the old manner through human will and determination. The Spirit-empowered mind is able to keep the Torah, something the natural flesh man is incapable of doing. <b><i>Obedience is only possible through faith in Yeshua and the gift of his Spirit<\/i><\/b> (Rom 7:6, 25 cp. 8:6\u20138; 9:30\u201333).<\/p>\n<p>In many other places, Paul indicates that without Yeshua it is impossible to fulfill the righteous requirements of the Torah. For example, he states that he is in no way promoting Torahlessness, but a Torah-obedience through Yeshua\u2019s empowerment (1 Cor 9:21). The Holy Spirit in us, Paul declares, produces righteousness (i.e., conformity to the Torah, note Ps 119:172) by our faith in Yeshua through love (Gal 5:5\u20136). What\u2019s more, we\u2019re saved through faith in Yeshua who is the Living Torah-Word of Elohim (as was Abraham when he had faith in the pre-incarnate Yeshua and obeyed his word). As a new spiritual creation in Yeshua, we produce and <b><i>walk in good works<\/i><\/b> (i.e.,\u00a0 Torah-obedience) through faith in Yeshua, the Living Torah (Eph 2:6, 10). Or stated another way, we\u2019re a new man or new creation in Yeshua <b><i>who lives in or through us<\/i><\/b> (Gal 2:20; 2 Cor 5:17); we\u2019ve been renewed in the spirit of our mind for true righteousness and holiness (i.e., Torah-obedience, Eph 4:22\u201324). Elsewhere, Paul encourages us to be filled with the fruits of righteousness (or Torah-obedience, Ps 119:172) through Yeshua (Phil 1:11). He further tells us that Yeshua redeemed us from Torahlessness (or sin, 1 John 3:4) and is working to purify for himself his own special people who are \u201czealous for good works\u201d (i.e., Torah-obedience, Tit 2:14), and is making us \u201ccomplete in every good work do to his will\u201d (Heb 13:21).<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Yeshua in Us: The Power to Obey Torah',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2013\/07\/18\/power-to-obey-torah\/',contentID: 'post-3310',suggestTags: 'Grace,Holy Spirit,Paul,Philippians,Righteousness,Torah,Yeshua',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philippians 1:11, The fruits of righteousness which are by Yeshua the Messiah.\u00a0It is impossible for a man to keep the Torah on his own strength as Yeshua\u2019s encounter with the rich young ruler proves (Matt 19:16\u201322).
