<TITLE>20. Par 200-207</TITLE>L-200 God told--told Adam, "If you'll touch this tree, you'll... You eat from Here, and you'll live. You eat from that one, you'll die." That's the covenant. Now, that's... You--you've got the thing before you, "If you do this, if you do that, you'll--you'll die. If you live there, eat this one, you'll live." So then Adam eat from this, and he died.
Grace come on, then God made a covenant by grace. And when He did, the children of Israel down in Egypt... God already said by His Word what He was going to do. He was going to bring them out. And God's obligated to His Word. But then when God, obligated to His Word, went down there and sent a saviour, Moses, grace provided that... Here come Moses, leading the children of Israel out.
When they come out with him, got out in the wilderness, said, "Oh, give us something to do. We want to form us an organization, and we want you to give us something to do. Let us make us something like this. Give us a law to keep." Exodus 19 was the greatest mistake that Israel ever made. When grace had already provided their salvation, then they wanted something to do to merit it. God already swore to Abraham, what He was going to go. They said, "Let us have the law." And the law never did... No one never kept it. They never did.

L-203 Jesus come to fulfill the law, and grace provided a Saviour again. That's right. For God had sworn (Hallelujah,) that He was going to save Abraham and his Seed. And how could He do it with rebellious, stiff-hearted, stiff-necked people that wouldn't listen or nothing? They had all their theologies and everything else, He said. How's He going to do it? This is going to take this; and this is going to take that. And God looking down and seeing the churches in this day, how they was all conglomerated together, and all this kind of mess and things. He had to make a way, for He swore that He would do it, not only Jews. He said, "In thee shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed," Jew, Gentile, alike. "I'll call a Seed. (Hallelujah. Oh, my.) I'll do it." And in this day...

L-205 What is the Seed of Abraham? "Abraham believed God." This little blood cell, a portion of it was in a shadow, atoning on Abraham. "He believed God; it was imputed to Him for righteousness." God called Abraham by sovereign grace, not because he was Abraham. He was just a man.
Now, look. And every one of God's children is called the same way. You can't save yourself. There's nothing you can do. If you're a sinner, you can't come to God 'less God called you. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me, except My Father calls him. And when the Father calls him, all that comes, I'll give Him Everlasting Life and I'll raise him up at the last day."

L-207 God, by sovereign election has called Abraham's seed. Then if that type of Life that was on the inside of that blood Cell was upon Abraham, who called the impossible possible, called the impossibles that they would be, because God said so, what kind of people are the seed of Abraham? Oh, don't--don't miss this. Please don't. I feel it coming from the top of my head. Looky. Look.
Then if you are Abraham's seed, you can't dispute with God. Abraham's seed is a part of this Spirit. For God gave Abraham a sign of circumcision, cutting off the flesh, for a witness He had received him. In this last days, has took the Holy Ghost and circumcised every believer, of cutting off all doubts and unbelief, to believe God's Word is pure and holy, and It's the Truth. Circumcision, cutting away all unbelief, everything, cutting loose every shore line, saying, "God, I believe You, live or die, sink or drown. It's Your Word. I believe It." Then, see what I mean?
