Yehovah has given Torah so that we may have life.
This life is in unity with his son Yeshua. “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes before the Father but by me” John 14:6
Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me (Yehovah). John 12:44″For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak. And I know that his mitzvah is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the father has told me.” John 12:49

Psalm 119:126 reads in Hebrew: “It is time Yehovah to work; for they have made void your Torah”
A righteous man cries for judgment and in righteousness he loves the Torah.
The Apostle Peter shared Psalm 34:13-17 (in Kethubim, The Writings) “Who is the man who is eager for life, who desires years of good fortune? Guard your tongue from evil, your lips from deceitful speech. Shun evil and do good, seek integrity and pursue it. The eyes of Yehovah are on the righteous, his ears attentive to their cry. The face of Yehovah is set against evildoers…” – 1 Peter 3: 10-12
What we as followers of Yehovah through Messiah should do concerning our lives.
“Since therefore Messiah (Yeshua) suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of Yehovah.” 1 Peter 4:1-2
Where does one begin?
What is “they have made void your Torah” as we see it written in Psalm 119:126? How would one make void (annul) the instructions of Yehovah (the Torah)? Is not the Torah done away according to Christian theology of the ‘New’ Testament? First, let us understand who we are and the source from which we collect information addressing our answers to the Scriptures. Do not think that you are rightly dividing Scriptures if in your search of said Scriptures you accept a neophyte student’s interpretation of Scripture. One must identify the need for critical thinking when addressing the words of Yeshua in the Renewed Covenant (found in the Gospels). I know that reading this may either do one or two things. One, you may quickly reflect on your denomination of Christianity and quickly dismiss the call to test the source of information that you have grown accustomed to and reject all things ‘new’ to you outside mainstream Christianity (which are NOT found taught by the Messiah. Please listen to the audio before you run! Two, you are humble enough to know that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of Yehovah (the God of the Hebrews); and that you love the written Scriptures because you believe in God and love Jesus. You are as I am, always willing to build up your faith and understand Scripture. To all, I offer only to share what I have tested and come to know as life-changing, and it will transform your life.
