"And YaHuWaH’ said to mosheh , 'I am that which I am. [ehyeh asher ehyeh]' and

he said, 'so you will say to the sons of YSCHaREL, "I am [ehyeh] has sent me to

you." 'and YaHuWaH’ said further to mosheh, 'now you are to say to the sons of

YSCHaREL, "YAHUWAH’, elohey of your fathers Abraham, Yitzchak [Isaac],

and Yaa’qob [Jacob], has sent me to you. this is my name forever, and this is my

memorial for generation to generation." ' "Shemoth 6:3," 'and I appeared to

Abraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaa’qob as hashadday [the almighty]. and my

name, YaHuWaH’, was not well known (famous) to them.

YaHuWaH’, ELohey Tsebaoth, is his name.

The ministry of reconciliation

Message of Reconciliation

Torah sh’Bichtav

(Written Torah)

“Sola Scriptura”

(the Scriptures alone is authoritative for faith)

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

YaHuWSCHuA HaNaTSReY uWMeLeK

HaYaHuWDYM

(in His Name)

YaHuWaH’ [Yah -hoo-Wah] is the Name of the Creator.

YaHuWShuWaH (Yahuwshua) is His Son

ALuaHiYM [Al-u-heem - ALHYM] means "Mighty Ones“ or "Power"

Qadosh means Set-apart, Pure. Kodesh (Qodesh) also means "Set-apart"

Page 3: For we are his workmanship

Ruwach ( Ruwach ) is the Ibry (Hebrew) name for His "Presence", pictured as the Counselor,

Helper, and Advocate, the One Who "proceeds from the Father"

ANY HuWE

( I am He)

For we are His work-

manshipEphesios 2:10

For we are YaHuWaH’'s workmanship/achievement. He has created us

anew in HaMaSHiYaCH YaHuWSHuWaH, so that we can do the good

things He planned for us long ago.

You are the product of our Father, created in HaMaSHiYaCH

YaHuWSHuWaH , to do good works, which ALuaHiYM did set before

us, that we should walk in them

Craftsmanship: the same word from which we derive the English word “poem”. Founded: created, made habitable, or [completely]

transformed. With all the attention verses 8 and 9 have received,

Ephesians 2:8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of ALuaHiYM: Not of works, lest any man should

boast.

Because [it is] by [the supply of His] favor that you are being kept

Page 4: For we are his workmanship

safe, by means of faithfulness—and [even] that [does] not [come] from yourselves; it is the gift of ALuaHiYM, not [as a result] of

accomplishments, so that no one might boast--

Accomplishments: or works, actions.

This verse that immediately follows them puts it all into the right perspective, because the fact that our own accomplishments are not

what brought us into favor with YaHuWaH’ does not mean we should not be involved in noble works; on the contrary, noble works are by its very nature what the Torah is made up of, and it is our guide. But the footing He has put us on is much firmer, and if we

follow the works that He ordained long ago rather than what we imagined might be what He would want, the result will be much greater effectiveness, no longer missing the target but actually

pleasing Him.

The desire for excellence is a gift of YaHuWaH’, much needed in society.

YaHuWaH’ is love; sin is therefore a crime, not against law, but against love. Now it is possible to make atonement for a broken law, but it is impossible to make atonement for a broken heart; and sin is not so much breaking YaHuWaH’'s law as it is breaking YaHuWaH’'s heart.

Sin kills innocence Sins Trespasses.

The word for sin is hamartia is a shooting word. It literally means a miss.

A man shoots his arrow at the target; the arrow misses; that is hamartia

To miss the mark

Sin is the failure to hit the target of life. That is precisely why sin is so universal.

Page 5: For we are his workmanship

We commonly have a wrong idea of sin. We would readily agree that the robber, murderer, the razor-slasher, the

drunkard, the gangster are sinners, but, since most of us are respectable citizens, in our heart of hearts we think that sin has not very much to

do with us.

We would probably rather resent being called hell-deserving sinners. But hamartia brings us face to face with what sin is,

the failure to be what we ought to be and could be.

Trespasses. The word for trespasses is paraptoma

This literally means a slip or a fall. It is used for a man losing the way and straying from the right road; it is used for a man failing to grasp and slipping away from the truth. Trespass, is taking the wrong road when we could take the right one; it is missing the truth that we should have known. Therefore it is the failure to reach the goal we ought to have

reached.

The central idea of sin is failure, failure to hit the target, failure to hold to the road, failure to make life what it was capable of becoming; and

that definition includes every one of us.

The new man is the regenerate man as distinguished from the old man,

And grieve not the Ruwach HaQodesh of ALuaHiYM

And do not frustrate YaHuWaH’’s Ruwach HaQodesh (set-apart Ruwach,) by which you are marked to prove your genuineness for the

day [you will be] liberated by a ransom.

A new Way of thinking

The natural tendency of human beings is to think their way away

Page 6: For we are his workmanship

from YaHuWaH’—leaving them "hopelessly confused." Intellectual pride, rationalizations, and excuses all keep people from YaHuWaH’. Don't be surprised if people can't grasp the Good News. The Good News

will seem foolish to those who forsake faith and rely on their own understanding.

Ephesios 4:17-25

With YaHuWaH’'s authority let me say this: Live no longer as the wicked do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of YaHuWaH’ because they

have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against Him. They don't care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given

themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed. But that isn't what you were taught when you

learned about haMashiyach. Since you have heard all about Him and have learned the Truth that is in YaHuWSHuWaH, throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life, which is rotten through and

through, full of lust and deception. Instead, there must be a ruwachual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes. You must display a new nature

because you are a new person, created in YaHuWaH’'s likeness--righteous, Set-apart, and true.

So put off the Lie, speak the Truth, each with his neighbor, because we belong to each other.

This I say, therefore, and I solemnly urge you through the Master, to no longer walk in the same way as the other nations indeed walk—in the

fruitlessness of their mind,

Fruitlessness: being devoid of truth, force, success, results, purpose, or appropriateness.

We leave behind the old life of sin, since we are followers of YaHuWShuWaH Living the Nätzräya life is a process. Although

we have a new nature, we don't automatically think all good

Page 7: For we are his workmanship

thoughts and express all right attitudes when we become new people in YaHuWShuWaH. But if we keep listening to YaHuWaH’, we will be changing all the time. As you look back over last year, do

you see a process of change for the better in your thoughts, attitudes, and actions?

Ephesios 4:18

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of ALuaHiYM) through the ignorance that is in them, because of the

blindness of their heart:

having their judgment darkened [due to their] being estranged from the life of ALuaHiYM through the ignorance that is in them through the

callousness of their heart

Judgment: in the sense of mental or intellectual capacity to soberly reason and discern. Callousness: their perception being

blunted and dulled

Why are people around us so blind?

YaHuWaH’ says it's because, Instead of worshiping YaHuWaH’, they profess to be wise in themselves

Rom 1:22

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools

In asserting their "wisdom" they were [proven to be] foolish,

Their arrogance blinded them to the inevitable consequences of their philosophy. Thinking they were free from constraints and

claiming their own ingenuity got them there, they were actually careening toward tragedy. But wisdom speaks in particular of those who were under the covenant of the Torah

Deut. 4:6

Page 8: For we are his workmanship

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all

these statutes, and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people

but gave this up for what seemed more attractive to them at the time.

Ephesios 4:19

Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

who, having ceased to be sensitive to pain, have given themselves over to unbridled, shameless lust, resulting in the perpetration of all [kinds of]

impurity with a greedy eagerness for more.

Lust: or excess, insolence, outrageous license.

"Tell me, , what would happen if I dropped an eight-hundred-pound weight on the body of a dead man? Would he feel it? Would he be in pain? Would it bother him? „Of course not," That's the point," "If you

don't feel the weight of sin, if it's not heavy upon you, if it's not having an impact on you, it's because you're Ruwachual dead."

Ephesios 4:20

But ye have not so learned HaMaSHiYaCH;

Do not men, on every side, walk in the vanity of their minds? Must not we then urge the distinction between real and nominal Believers? They were void of all saving knowledge; they sat in darkness, and loved it

rather than light. They had a dislike and hatred to a life of Sacredness, which is not only the way of life YaHuWaH’ requires and approves, and

Page 9: For we are his workmanship

by which we live to him, but which has some likeness to YaHuWaH’ himself in his purity, righteousness, truth, and goodness.

Ephesios 4:21

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the

truth is in YaHuWShuWaH (ישוע):

since indeed you have heard him and been taught by him, just as [was] in fact the case in the HaMashiyach

The truth of YaHuWShuWaH appears in its beauty and power, when it appears as in YaHuWShuWaH The corrupt nature is called a man; like the human body, it is of divers parts, supporting and strengthening one another. Sinful desires are deceitful lusts; they promise men happiness, but render them more miserable; and bring them to destruction, if not

subdued and mortified. These therefore must be put off, as an old garment, a filthy garment; they must be subdued and mortified. But it

is not enough to shake off corrupt principles; we must have gracious ones. By the new man, is meant the new nature, the new creature,

directed by a new principle, even regenerating grace, enabling a man to lead a new life of righteousness and holiness. This is created, or brought

forth by YAHUWAH’'s almighty power.

Ephesios 4:22

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

that], as regards [your] former manner of conduct, you put off the old man, which is being [further and further] corrupted in accordance with

the deceitful cravings for what is forbidden

We might ask how do we put off the old man? By renewal in the Rawach of your mind, a Rawachual renewal. "and…put on the new man, which after YAHUWAH’ is created in righteousness and true

holiness." This is in some ways like changing clothes. Off with the old dirty, greasy, smelly old clothes and putting on a new set that is clean and fresh. The natural thing to do before we put on a new set of clothes is to clean up. My friends we are cleaned up by the bath of the blood.

Page 10: For we are his workmanship

Ephesios 4:23

And be renewed in the Ruwach (Rawach) of your mind;

be renewed in the disposition of your mind,

Our old mode of living is to be abandoned; a new one to be assumed. The mind is to be renovated; and not only its general complexion, but the very Rawach of it; all its faculties and powers must be thoroughly,

completely, and universally renewed. Plautus uses a similar expression describing deep distress, and answerable to our phrase innermost soul: -

Poverty and dread alarm my innermost soul.

Ephesios 4:24

And that ye put on the new man, which after ALuaHiYM) is created in righteousness and true holiness.

and put on the new man—the one [that is] in agreement with ALuaHiYM, being made habitable through righteousness and true

undefiled piety.

Put on: i.e., clothe oneself with. Made habitable: created.

Ephesios 4:25

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Therefore, putting off what is false, everyone must speak the truth with his neighbors, because we are members of one another.

False: as in deliberate lying or counterfeit; the Greek word is pseudos. Members of one another: Reciprocally, each of us is part of his fellows, and if we withhold the truth from each other, it is as if

we are cutting off our own limbs.

Put on righteousness and put away lying," says Paul. He doesn't say to go to counseling to overcome the dysfunctional tendency of exaggeration or miscommunication. He simply says, "Stop lying.

Page 11: For we are his workmanship

Now. „If I place my hand on a hot burner, but my nerves lie to my brain, saying, "It's not hot," I will get burned. So, too, if one part of

the body of YaHuWShuWaH lies to another, everyone gets hurt.

Ephesios 4:26

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Be provoked to anger, but do not cross the line [and go wrong]; do not let the sun set on your exasperation,

Ephesios 4:27

Neither give place to the devil.

and do not give any place to the accuser either.

Place: ground or occasion. Accuser: Gk, diabolos, but not just “the devil”, but anyone who would find cause to bring a charge

against us.

Ephesios 4:28

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to

him that needeth.

The thief must no longer steal, but rather must labor hard, producing useful [gains] with his hands so that he may have something with

which to supply one who has a need.

Producing: or earning. Useful: worthwhile, honorable, excellent, or distinguished.

Ephesios 4:29

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto

the hearers.

Don’t let any worthless word come out of your mouth, but only what is useful toward building up what is needed, so that it may supply

Page 12: For we are his workmanship

strength to the ones who hear.

Ephesios 4:30

And grieve not the Ruwach HaQodesh of ALuaHiYM), whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

And do not frustrate YaHuWaH’’s set-apart Ruwach, by which you are marked to prove your genuineness for the day [you will be] liberated by

a ransom.

We can bring sorrow to the Ruwach HaQodesh by the way we live. Paul warns us against unwholesome language, bitterness, improper use of

anger, harsh words, slander, and bad attitudes toward others. Instead of acting that way, we should be forgiving, just as YaHuWaH’ has

forgiven us. Are you bringing sorrow or pleasing YaHuWaH’ with your attitudes and actions? Act in love toward your brothers and sisters in

YaHuWShuWaH, just as YaHuWaH’ acted in love by sending his Son to die for your sins.

Ephesios 4:31

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

Let all bitterness and boiling anger and violent emotion and clamoring [for attention] and speech that injures [others] be removed from you,

along with any desire to hurt [them],

Ephesios 4:32

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as ALuaHiYM for HaMaSHiYaCH sake hath forgiven you.

And be useful to one another, with strong compassion forgiving one another [freely], just as YaHuWaH’ forgives you through the

HaMashiyach.

Finally

Page 13: For we are his workmanship

Gal 5:16 But, I am saying to you, live in harmony with the Ruwach

HaQodesh’s [desire for you] and [then] you will not [always] be giving in to the wrong desires of your body. For what your body wants is in conflict with what the Ruwach HaQodesh wants [for you], and

what the Ruwach HaQodesh wants conflicts with what your body wants, for these [two desires] are contrary to one another, so that you do not [always] do what you [really] want to. But, if you are led by [what] the Ruwach HaQodesh [wants you to do], you are not under

[obligation to meet the requirements of] the law of Moshe. Now those things done by the sinful, physical nature [of a person] are evident; they are these: sexual immorality, moral impurity, indecent

conduct, idol worship, occultic practices, hatefulness, dissension, jealousy, angry outbursts, factious Rawachs, divisiveness, party

Rawachs, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you again, as I have done before, that those people who practice

such things will not inherit the kingdom of YaHuWaH’.

But the fruit produced by the Ruwach HaQodesh is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness

and self-control. There can be no law against [practicing] these things. And those

persons who belong to YaHuWShuWaH HaMashiyach have crucified [put out of their lives,] the sinful cravings of the body, along with their

passionate desires. If we live by the [guidance of the] Ruwach HaQodesh, we should also walk in [the ways of the Ruwach HaQodesh.

We should avoid foolish pride as well as provoking or envying one another.

YaHuWSHuWaH

ALuaHiYM YaHuWShuWaH HaMashiyach

In His Name

blessed be, in His name

'YHWH be with you.' and they answered him, 'YHWH bless you.' "

Be not blind to the truth

And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that

YaHuWSHuWaH passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O YaHuWaH,

[thou] Ben David. And YaHuWSHuWaH stood still, and called them, and said,

What will ye that I shall do unto you?

They say unto Him, YaHuWaH, that our eyes may be opened. So

YaHuWSHuWaH had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes: and

immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

His servant and yours

Shalom in Righteousness

A rule necessary, and of great extent. A servant in the Gospel Vineyard, though

worthy of his Comfortable support while in the work. Should never preach for hire,

or make a secular traffic of the Ruakh (spiritual work): what a scandal is it for a

man to traffic with gifts which he pretends, at least, to have received from the
