Torah Laws and the teachings of the New Testament are to be obeyed by both Jews and Gentiles, as the Torah was given One Law for All. (See Numbers 15:15–16 for the explanation.) The mo'adim, or appointed times listed in Leviticus 23, including the 7th day Sabbath and the Feast days, foreshadow the 1st and 2nd comings of the Messiah and the Creator's plan of salvation for the world.
Torah emphasizes the adoption of all into the faith of Abraham, often referred to in Scripture as the unified "House of Israel" (Leviticus 10:6), (Jeremiah 37:11), (Ezekiel 39:25), (Romans 11:13–26), (Ephesians 2:10–14). This unified "House of Israel" consists of Jews and Non-Jews who maintain faith in the Messiah and a Spirit-led adherence to the Torah, Yahuah's teaching and instruction, as a lifestyle of faith and love. Many Christians have the "testimony of Jesus," but are often found innocently to be keeping fewer commandments than intended to (1John 1:9) according to the erroneous idea that Yahusha died to do away with the Torah, thus abolishing it and any requirements to "guard" or "keep" it, which is contrary to scripture.
The entirety of all Scriptures emphasizes the completion of the unified "House of Israel" in Yahusha, which includes both Jews and non-Jews. Followers are co-heirs and equal members of the chosen people of the Father of Israel through the blood of Messiah, and returning to a 1st-century mindset provides deeper and more authentic insights into the Hebrew idioms of the New Testament (which are often garbled after their translation to Greek), which provides deeper cultural understanding of all scripture. Also of importance is a greater understanding of the dispersion of tribes of Israel, and the future regathering of those tribes according to prophecies of scripture.
