New Covenant Liberty for the Gentile Believer

Kenneth Binkley ThD

Description

Kenneth Binkley, Th.D. was raised in a mainline denomination and attended Charismatic, Evangelical, and other denominations. His experiences with other assemblies brought a new world of teaching that included prophetic utterances, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and more confusion. His journey resulted in a definitive liberty in Jesus Christ, the Good News that had long been shrouded.

Modern Christianity has lost its appeal to many Christians. The Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been sacrificed on the altar of denominational dogma, Mosaic legalisms, and a false prosperity message.

New Covenant Liberty for the Believing Gentile highlights the reformation contained in the New Covenant, paving the way for readers to enjoy an exuberant reunion with Yehovah (God).

The author explores God’s plan formulating His offer of salvation. He answers questions such as:

What steps has the Father taken that enable us to rediscover our love for the Father?

How should we view the progression from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant?

What can Christians do to free themselves from denominational bondage?

The author explores God’s intense desire to reconcile us, to bring us into His presence, while imbuing us with a vibrant joy and thankful heart for His mercy and grace.

Discover the truth of the Good News and allow the Holy Spirit to guide your heart with this important and liberating book.

My appreciation is first and foremost to our loving Father who created us and sustains us all, then to all who have been faithful in ministering the Word of God, without apology.

May Father honor, empower, and graciously reward them.



INTRODUCTION
For many Christians who glaze across the sacred scriptures, context and comprehension may evade them through unfamiliar ancient customs, contrasting covenants, and supposed contradictions; the covenant narrative has become distorted in modern Christianity, as its relevance is often misunderstood or ignored. Many in Christianity were taught about a loving Savior in Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ), His sacrifice, and yet we scarcely comprehend the plan and purpose of the Father, who ordered our redemption through various covenants to secure our redemption. Yehovah (God) predestined a plan, a purchase, and a purpose for us that we might be reconciled to Him (2 Cor. 5:19). He did not go about it without significant effort while concealing His salvation plan’s mysteries through indirect series of events; we extract the truth and process of His intentions across the millennia, via biblical ancestors, obscure prophets, and hidden messages. This book is intended to provide a clear perspective for the bereft Gentile Christian and Messianic Hebrew who may be struggling with Mosaic Law dependencies, time periods, New versus Old Covenants, and their application as juxtaposed with the Good News, the liberty contained within the Gospel of Yeshua Hamashiach.
Denominationalism has clouded the Gospel with dubious theology, resigned to ear tickling, token phrases, and diluted Bible teaching to placate the hearer and keep church attendance up. Progressive heresies have infiltrated many religious organizations, having little to no regard for Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ) truth or His sacrifice through which He manifests His righteousness in us. Contrarily, some promote a return to contradictory aspects of the Law of Moses (a portion of Yehovah’s instructions, teaching, or Torah), to assume control and profit with the perception of authority, while others support unitarianism, sin tolerance, sexual perversions, Satanism, abortion, and idolatry. Despite the mangling of the Gospel and the other obvious deceptions, there remains the truth of the Word of Yehovah and His provision for sanctification and holiness. In contrast, there is liberty derived through the Mosaic Covenant that is delivered through Yeshua Hamashiach’s ministration of the New Covenant and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. All the righteous requirements of the Old Testament (OT) are contained in and satisfied within Yeshua’s New Covenant. Unfortunately, many portions of Torah (instructions or teaching) are often conflated with the New Covenant and inferred as legally binding upon the Christian, and some are considered as no longer applicable; however, as we shall discover, many of the OT precepts (teachings) are already contained within the New Covenant, as embodied in Yeshua Hamashiach and Yehovah’s preeminent instructions.
Navigating through the scriptures, we will reveal the plan of Yehovah’s (God) salvation plan through its transition into the New Covenant, its power over sin, and rediscover a vitality for loving the Father. With the confusion surrounding multiple covenants and promises spanning six thousand years, how do we get there? This book provides a layman’s pathway to understand those covenant hurdles, their progression from the Old Covenant (Mosaic) to the New Covenant, and addresses whether various tenets of the Mosaic Covenant remain incumbent on the New Covenant body.
This book does not reveal anything new that has not been written and read for multiple millennia. There are no grand revelations, dreams, or visions to excite the reader. There is, however, a captivating truth that will set many Christians free from denominational bondage critically selected from the Old Testament covenant. We will learn of Yehovah’s intense desire to reconcile us, to bring us into His presence, to imbue us with a vibrant joy and thankful heart for His mercy and grace and of our liberation from misapplied and encumbering doctrines of men.
We will become acquainted with the Father in a more intimate fellowship, using His name, Yehovah, regularly to dispel the connotation of an unfeeling, distant, authoritarian ruler rather than the person who is the great I AM, your Redeemer, the one who formed you in your mother’s womb (Ps. 139:13, Eccles. 11:5). Yehovah is our Father, our Abba, our heavenly, endearing Daddy. For some, these terms are too permissive, but how can it be that the God who died for you, knowing your sinful past, could possibly be repulsed by your affection? I encourage you to search out the scriptures and allow the Holy Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh) to guide your heart into the freedom that Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ) provides us.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15 NKJV)
My hope and prayer are that this book will supply a solid background of the dispensational, prophetic, and covenantal aspects of the Father’s salvation plan as interwoven within His promises throughout the historical covenants that He made to ordinary men—men of faith, failure, hope, and all things still common to us today. We will confirm our Father’s faithfulness to us, whose desire has always been to create a beautiful existence and to give life to His sons and daughters. We journey through scriptures to see how the Word of Yehovah (God) reveals His divine purpose through interstitial promises and revelations to set His children at liberty, to discover His unbounding affection toward us, and to enable us to reciprocate our love toward Him without restraint. This book will serve as a faith guide, grounded in Yehovah’s Word; a Father’s passport to our freedom from fear and bondage, granting us passage to His true Sabbath Day rest.
What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. (Ps. 25:12–14 NKJV)
What an extraordinary and marvelous promise for us! For those who love Yehovah, He has promised to teach; their souls shall be at ease, their children shall inherit the earth, and His secret covenant He will show to them! We have a glorious promise here and a glorious responsibility to walk in the revelation of the covenant He is revealing in this book. Covenants were not just for history or just for Abraham and Moses; they were established with a purpose to reconcile mankind back to Yehovah (God). Covenants were established for you, your c
