<TITLE>07. Par 31-36</TITLE>L-31 Oh, you might believe it. You might accept it. You might say, "Yes, I believe the Bible's right. I go to church too." But have you ever died to yourself and be borned again, leaving all the outside off and brought to the Blood into this fellowship and set in heavenly places in Christ Jesus? What God can do...
How the revelation of God can move through an audience like that, when we've all been partakers of this same fellowship. See?
In now that to Paul's addressing this letter to. And just a moment or two longer... Paul addressing this letter to them that are in Christ Jesus. You see? And the faithful that's in, see how we come in? No one outside has a right in; no one without coming through the Blood can be in.
Oh, he says, "I'm through the Blood," and he's setting right there said, "I don't get these things." Certainly not. He's pretending to come through the Blood.

L-32 But if he ever becomes a son and a partaker, he's your brother. And he's... What is he? The same Spirit that was in Christ is in you and in him. And you are fellow citizens. Oh, my. That's the Word I want (I've been playing around for a half hour to get it.) Fellow citizens of the spiritual Kingdom. Citizenship, aren't you happy you got it tonight? Fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God, looking for the King to come someday...
Now, we will hurry right quick.
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
He's given his salute or, his salutation to the church.
Blessed be God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings... (Think of it.)

L-33 "I thought the spiritual blessings only come, the fellowship, the Holy Spirit, only come on Pentecost." This is thirty-two years later, that's blessing the Ephesians church, Gentile church, blessing us in heavenly places. You can only be in heavenly places when you're in Christ Jesus.
So if the Holy Spirit baptized them into the heavenly places then, It baptizes into heavenly places now, same fellowship.
(Now)... heavenly places in Christ.
Now, quickly now, I'll give you my view, and then we'll have to go.

L-34  According as He has... as He... (God)... has chosen us... (Not my desire, not your desire, wasn't Paul's desire.)
But he has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world...
Did you think of that? He chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we...
... that we should be holy,...
Not cause I lived right, because He chose me to be that way. He done it, not I.

L-35 That's the reason you're holy this afternoon, not because you deserve it, but because He chose you to be that way. When? Before the foundation of the world.
... holy and without blame before Him in love:
How could we do it? There had to be a Masterpiece do that, and that was Christ Jesus.
Listen, you don't remember it, neither do I; but we was before the foundation of the world. When God made man said, "Let Us make man in our own image, let us give them (plural), let Us get... make man in our Own image (spirit man) and give them dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the cattle's and so forth." Genesis 1, God saying that, "Let Us make man."...

L-36 Now, back there before the foundation of the world, God chose you in Christ Jesus to appear holy at the end time, all the way from the foundation of the world. Do you see it?
Now, quickly, let's catch it now, next verse.
Having predestinated... (or elected) us unto the adoption of children by Christ Jesus to Himself, according to--to the good pleasure of His will,...
