This is the area of sanctification, being conformed to the image of Christ. A part of this

conformity is the call to bear fruit in righteous and holy lives set apart unto God. Yahshua
said that we are to bear much fruit and thereby glorify His Father (John 15:8). Whether we

bear little fruit, or much fruit, we are still children of God by faith, but it is to our benefit

to bear much fruit. When Yahshua returns with His reward in His hand, it will be rendered
“to every man according to what he has done.”

Some in teaching the grace of God have erred in negating the importance of works and
obedience in the life of the saint. Yahshua has not lessened the importance He attaches to

these things. In the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation, Yahshua begins
each one by stating “I know your works.”” He does not say “I know your faith,” or “I know

your heart.” In truth, our heart and our faith are revealed in our works, and apart from our

works there is no other way for them to be revealed. This is why Yahshua states that a tree
is known by its fruit (Matthew 12:33).

My hope for you as you read this book is that you might be provided with some
encouragement to more passionately pursue Yahshua the Messiah. Much of the current

teaching of the church actually does much to discourage a sold out life to Christ. By
neglecting the teaching of personal reward, or by teaching falsehoods such as that which

asserts all believers will share the same honor and glory for eternity, the body has been
lulled into complacency. After confessing Christ as Savior and Lord there seems to be little

else that many Christians are encouraged to do.
Being born of the Spirit is but the beginning. This salvation corresponds to the Outer

Court of the Tabernacle. The true glory is where the presence of God is found. This is in the

Most Holy Place. Only those who have been purified and refined can enter into the Most
Holy Place. Only those who have allowed the working of the cross to put to death the deeds

of the flesh can abide in the presence of God. This is the calling of the Bride of Christ.
If you have a passion for the Lord Yahshua the Messiah, if you long to know what the

Father is looking for in fashioning a Bride for His Son, then this book is for you. May you
be challenged by these words and may your heart be stirred with a more passionate pursuit

of the One who is pursuing you.
