Justifiable Faithfulness
Romans 5:1 (corrected text) — 1 (Justification = becoming Righteous, therefore by faithfulness, peace experience within (God = Eloheyem) through our (Lord = Yehwah) Messiah Yeshua ,
[Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans, must be examined by reading the full context of inter-related chapters. The complete message of Salvation, contain detailed building blocks. All scripture forms the structure of Yehwah’s Spiritual House. There is a treasure of “Good News” for everyone entering in by Faith. Paul opens the door of Salvation, by requiring repentance from sinfulness. Then emphasizes, Faith that leads to Righteous Obedience. Righteousness and Justification are synonymous terms, that represent spiritual growth, leading to sanctification and glorification. All of Biblical scripture proclaim the same “Good News”, of the Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness of Yehwah Elohe.
(Psalms 32:1; 2; 5; 6; 7; 8; 11; 33:1; 4; 5;

Romans 4:1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 20; 21; 22; 23; 24; 25; King David and Abraham Learned: that Yehwah Elohe is a Righteous Judge, and He is willing to show Mercy. A person may receive forgiveness, if they are truly repentant. Turning away from sinful lawlessness, begins spiritual conversion. Each person must learn Faithful Obedience to the Covenant Commandments, to be Saved from sin and eternal death.
Romans 3:20; 27; 28; Ga 2:16; 3:2; 5; 10; 11; Acts 13:38; 39; Also, Scripture testifies that the symbolic sign of circumcision and animal sacrifices are the “Works of the Law”. The sacrificial “Works”, performed by the priesthood, could never save anyone.
John 1:9; 10; Ro 2:13;Yehwah Elohe maintains “Justice and Mercy”. Judgment with correction will be administered with the purpose of leading everyone into Righteous Obedience. Justice and Mercy will perfect the work of Justification.]
Romans 5:2;
Romans1:17; 2:4; 7; 10; 12-13; Step One, of Faithfulness, begins when a sinful person repents:
1 John 1:9; Confessing and forsaking sinfulness, and turning to Messiah Yeshua to receive (Mercy or Grace). The Forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Spirit of Holiness, plants the Seed of a future Hope. The Glorious revealing of Yehwah Elohe’s Love, will sustain, Faithful Obedience in the pursuit of Eternal Life.

This Redemptive Faithfulness grows out of a heart of love, for Yehwah Elohe. The difficulties of overcoming sinful desires and Temptations will produce a determination to be Faithful. Each person must persevere through the fiery trials of life. Spiritual discipline is the way to strengthen patient endurance, by building Biblical moral character. The pursuit of Righteousness is True salvation from sin, that encourages devotion to Messiah. So that, everyone hopefully desires to be worthy of acceptance into the family of Yehwah Eloheyem at the first resurrection.

And He Faithfully lived a Covenant Obedient life. Messiah Yeshua resisted sinful temptation. And became the acceptable Lamb of Yehwah, that is offered at the appointed time of Passover. Faithfully Messiah revealed spiritual strength through weakness as He suffered and died on the cross. Yeshua’s resurrection on the third day, proved that He is Yehwah the Messiah and high priest Melchizedek the only Savior. Messiah Yeshua overcame sin and death, so that He is able to help disciples resist sinfulness.

1 Peter 2:21; 22; Ro 2:4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; Step Four, of Faithfulness, trusting in Him who judges justly:
Messiah’s Loving kindness and Mercy, draws people to repentance, so that anyone may receive forgiveness and help to turn away from sin. But, the work of salvation begins with reconciliation. Reconciliation represents the restoration of the Covenant agreement. Covenant renewal, will restore each person’s heart and mind to lawful Obedience, with the help of the Spirit of Holiness. The Passover bread and wine represent Messiah Yeshua's Spiritual Life of Oneness with the Heavenly Father. This Oneness within the Father’s Spirit of at-One-ment must also exist within His disciples.
John 4:23; 24; 6:42; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48; 14:20; 21; 22; 23; 24; 25; 26; 27; 28;

True Righteousness will complete the work of Justification on the Day of Salvation. Justification only occurs when a person is declared Righteous. Perfected in Faithful Obedience to Covenant Law, from a Heart of Love and devotion. Righteousness and Justification are synonymous terms. A person cannot be considered Justified without also being proven Righteous. That is why each person is required to overcome Lawless disobedience. So that, they may be saved, from sin that leads to eternal death.
Translation Errors are Misleading

The term “blood” symbolizes the Spiritual Life in Messiah that represents Oneness with His Heavenly Father.

Priestly Mediation and Sacrificial Works?
Hebrews 10:1–4 (NASB95) — 1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Modern Christianity promotes the same form of pagan idolatry. Christian theologians teach, that their Christ became a “Scape Goat” substitution sacrifice. But, Scripture does not promote a superficial appeasement, by crucifying an innocent victim. Also, Messiah’s un-just death does not pay anyone’s sin debt. Christians deceptively claim that Christ’s substitutionary Death, will automatically impugn believers with, righteousness and justification. Christian theologians falsely believe, the “Works of the Law” only represent Israel’s attempt to be Justified by Obeying the Covenant Commandments. So then, both Israel and Christianity trust in a “ScapeGoat” substitution, that will never save anyone from sin and eternal death.

Sacrifice of Faithfulness
James 2:21–24 (NASB95) — 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed (God = Elohe), and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of )God = Elohe). 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
[Genesis 22:11; 12; 15; 16; 17; 18; Heb 11:17; 18; 19; Abraham’s Faithfulness was tested. When Yehwah Elohe required Isaac’s Life as a sacrificial offering.

Resurrection of Judgment
[Matthew 23:23;
Deuteronomy 4:29; 6:1; 2; 5; 6; 10:12; 13; 26:16; 17; 18; 19;
Dt 30:1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 15; 16; 19; 20; Jer 29:11; 12; Joel 2:11; 12; 13;

(Romans 2:12-13 NASB; ) Justice may be applied with an intent to show Mercy as a way to restore people to obedience to Covenant Law. Merciful reconciliation demonstrates judicial restraint. Hopefully people will be motivated to remain Faithful, to the Covenant agreement. Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness work together to complete the process of Justification. The term Justified is often misunderstood and improperly applied as an identifier of Salvation. As if Justification is completely separate from compliance to Covenant Law. Justification is only an expression of the intent of applying Judgment with Mercy to lead lawless mankind to reconciliation and Faithful Obedience. Justification that produces Faithfulness, leads to Sanctification. Justification and Sanctification are steppingstones that lead to Salvation. Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness are intended to produce Justification and Sanctification. These basic terms represent Yehwah's Judgement.
A limited view of Biblical judgment only focuses on Yahweh's wrath that condemns the wicked and lawless mankind to the sentence of death. Many assume that Yahweh's judgment is a final damnation. Only pagan mythology, casts the wicked into fiery hell and eternal torment. The misguided view of judgment overlooks the facts. All have sinned and receive the same punishment of death for their transgression of the law.

1 Cor 15:20; 21; 22; 23; 24; 25; 26; 27; 28; 29; describes two separate resurrections. The first resurrection is the reward for the Righteous. This completes the time of judgment for Messiah’s disciples. They have, proven their Faithfulness, by Obediently overcoming sin. The second resurrection is called the time of Judgment, for the rest of mankind. Then, the unsaved dead, will be restored to physical life. Each person will have an opportunity to be reconciled to Yehwah. True repentance of sin, will receive Mercy. This leads to justification through their wholehearted faithful obedience to Covenant Law.
1 Peter 4:17; 18; 19; 2 Pe 2:9; 3:8; 9; Jude 1:15; 16; There is sufficient evidence within Scripture to identify two separate time periods for judgment. Yehwah will Justly and Mercifully judge each person, by correcting sin. .
