<TITLE>08. Par 76-84</TITLE>L-76 And in Acts 2:38, when Peter said, "Repent, every one of you." They said, "Men and brethren, what can we do first?" They wanted to be saved.
Now, watch. He's talking there to unbelievers. Now, watch what he said. He said, "Repent, every one of you." Now, what does repent mean? "Repent" means "to be sorry for what you've done." For instance, what if I turned right around here now and hit my brother without a cause, and I want to repent for it. I'd say, "Brother Neville, I'm sorry I did that." See? Well then, if I say, "I'm sorry I did it," and mean it from my heart, I am repentant.
And if I'm sorry for my sins, and ask God to forgive me, I am repentant. Is that right? All right. Peter said, "Repent (or be sorry for your sins), and then be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Is that true? All right.
At the house, when Paul and Silas had had the meeting, and had been put in jail, beaten, because they cast the evil spirit out of a fortuneteller... And when they were in the Philippian jail, and that night when they sang songs, and they... The Lord sent an earthquake, and shake the jail so hard till it--the shackles fell off their hands. The jailer pulled his sword to kill himself. And Paul said, "See that you do yourself no harm, for we're all here." And he said, what could he do to be saved? He said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, with all your house--all your heart, and you shall be saved, you and your household. Notice, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ."

L-82 Now, if a man is sorry for his sins... I just want to take it easy, so it'll soak real deep. If a man is sorry for his sins and repents, being sorry for his sins, and accepts Jesus Christ as his Saviour from his sins, and is baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, God's under obligation at that very minute to give the man the baptism of the Holy Ghost. If He isn't, He can't... He didn't keep His Word. Is that right? Now, why all the tarrying meetings then? Why all the evidences and things we got to have?

L-84 Now, Jesus said, Saint John 5:24, "He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life." Now, if Everlasting Life... what does the word "Everlasting" mean? That means, "Without end." If he--if he... "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Life without end." Why all the coming back and--and trying to get saved over, and all these things then? If you got life without end, you can't perish. Your life can't, because you got Everlasting Life.
Now, if some of you might want to look the word up, you'll find in there, the Greek word, has "Zoe, Z-o-e," the Greek word, which means "The life of God." Because if it's everlasting, there's only one thing that is everlasting, and that is God. He is, "From everlasting unto everlasting, Thou art God."
Now, if He's from everlasting and to everlasting, and has give you everlasting unto Everlasting Life, then you'll have to become a part of His everlasting Being. Is that right? And if you become a part of His everlasting Being, that makes you a son or a daughter to Him; which exactly fulfill what the Scripture says, "We're sons and daughters of God." Is that right?
