Welcome from Moody Missions Conference!

Thanks for taking the time to learn about Life in Messiah

Who is Life in Messiah?

Sharing God’s heart for the Jewish people.

Since 1887, Life in Messiah has helped Christians understand the Jewish roots of our faith and God’s ongoing commitment to His people. We teach that antisemitism is inconsistent with biblical faith. We “pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” (Psalm 122:6) which includes her spiritual renewal as well as physical safety. In all we do, our priority is to share the gospel message.

Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary annulled the sacrificial system and opened salvation to all who confess that Jesus is the Son of God.

  • Life in Messiah believes the Law of Moses (Mosaic Covenant) is good and holy (Romans 7:12). The Law was instituted by God and given to the nation of Israel. But the Law of Moses was a temporary and conditional covenant. Now, the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, has instituted a New Covenant. Today, believers are no longer subject to the Law of Moses. Believers have the freedom to celebrate as much or as little of the Law as they would like, but believers are not obligated to keep or adhere to any aspects of the Law of Moses. To learn more about our position, listen to our podcast titled “Distinctions Between the Covenants.”

  • Life in Messiah rejects the doctrine of replacement theology (supersessionism). We believe that God is faithful to all of His promises, and that includes those made to the Jewish people concerning their land and their future.
