INTRODUCTION

John 8:39-47 reads,

8:39They answered him, "Our father is Abraham."

Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 8:40But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this. 8:41You do the works of your father."

They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."

8:42Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 8:43Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word. 8:44You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it. 8:45But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me. 8:46Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 8:47He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God."

Do you, like the Jews of Yah'shuah's day, consider Yahweh to be your Father? If you do, do you accept Yah'shuah's words in 8:42 that those who have Yahweh for their Father love him - Yah'shuah? Do you love Yah'shuah? Do you believe Yah'shuah - believing the words that Yah'shuah spoke and speaks?

What is entailed in loving Yah'shuah? And what words has Yah'shuah spoken that those who belong to Yahweh must believe?

These facilitate the effective distribution of the word Yahweh has given us, both in electronic and hard copy formats. Not all have easy access to the Internet and therefore cannot easily access our web site, http://www.serveyahweh.org, for this information where it is freely available. These need hard copies of the information published on our web site. Production and distribution of books and booklets is significantly more costly than publishing and distributing material over the Internet.

May Yahweh richly bless you for your financial contributions to Servants of Yahweh.
