From Romans 6:12–15, in his study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam continues to share Paul’s teaching on sanctification. In these verses, Paul instructs the forgiven believers in Rome, and all who believe in the Lord Jesus the Messiah, to live for the Lord by yielding the members of their bodies as instruments of righteousness to God. Because of God’s grace in forgiving their sins through Yeshua the Messiah, God’s people are called to respond in obedience and not continue willfully to live in sin.
From Chapter 5:5–11 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam highlights Paul’s testimony to the overwhelming love of God for all humanity. Shaul (Paul) wrote to the Roman believers that the evidence of God’s love for the world was demonstrated when Jesus the Messiah came down from heaven, took on human form, and offered Himself as a sacrifice to God, a sweet-smelling savour. Paul emphasized three key truths: (1) when we were without strength, in due time Messiah died for the ungodly; (2) while we were still sinners, Messiah died for us; and (3) when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son. Through the Lord Jesus the Messiah, believers are reconciled to God, both for time and for eternity.
From Romans 6:6–11, in his study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam continues to expound on Paul’s teaching regarding the subject of sanctification. In his exhortation to the Roman believers, Paul repeatedly uses the word “knowing” to emphasize their positional standing before God, a reminder to them, and to all believers, that they now belong to the Lord Jesus the Messiah. Although believers in Jesus the Messiah are still living in this world, they are to know and understand that through the Messiah’s death, their old sinful identity was also put to death before God. Furthermore, because they are united with Jesus the Messiah in His resurrection, they are called to live for God, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
From the Book of Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), Brother Gideon Levytam examines the powerful and comforting message the Lord gives the prophet in verses 14-16. This passage reveals the very heart of God for His people and land, beginning with a declaration of His fierce, covenantal love. Brother Gideon explains the term "great jealousy" (קִנְאָה גְדוֹלָה), not as a human flaw, but as God's passionate and protective fury for Jerusalem and for Zion.
This divine jealousy is directly contrasted with God's deep displeasure toward the Gentile nations who, in their ease, went far beyond their role as instruments of discipline and cruelly "helped forward the affliction." The direct result of God's passionate heart is a promise of restoration: He declares His personal return to Jerusalem "with mercies" and gives the divine assurance that His house, the Temple, will be rebuilt in it.
From Hebrews 10:22–31, in his study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), Brother Gideon Levytam explains how the author encourages the Hebrew believers to draw near to God with a true heart and full assurance of faith in the Lord Jesus the Messiah, in order to support one another in godly living and fellowship. The author remind all true believers that they are not exempt from God's discipline, when they willfully depart from His will. He is echoing the solemn reminder in 1 Peter 4:17 that judgment begins at the house of God.
