<TITLE>09. Par 91-93</TITLE>L-91 Abraham said, "I've had the same kind of a vision. Where up yonder on the mountain, when Christ, God met me, and give me the... His redemptive names as Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-rapha, and all those; seeing the death, burial, and resurrection, seeing it, and I offered it in my own son, when I seen little Isaac. The mother of this... Dead mother here, her boy, when I took him on the hill, let him pack his own wood up, the top of the mountain  (Genesis 22), and there he... I laid him on the altar and was going to take his own life, knowing that I had received him as one from the dead, I believed that He would raise him up again. And through this great hope that beats in my heart, I know He said that He could raise him up." See? It was a foresight of the resurrection, the same thing Job had.
So he said, "Now, I'm a joint heir with Job, so bury me in the same ground." And that's right. So they took him over there, took Sarah over and buried her right near Job. Abraham said, "Now, being that they... This ground might be sold to someone else, or 'cause you gave it to me. I don't want you to give it to me. I want to pay for it. Although you give it to me, I want to pay for it."

L-93 And that's the way every man that's... "By grace you are saved, not by works," nothing you can do. But if you ever get the blessed resurrection in your heart, you want to live the life of a Christian, the whole heart's desire in you is to do that which is right. Oh, I just love it. It's not that you are duty bound to do this. Not you are duty bound, but there's something in you makes you want to do it. You want to do it. You don't do it because it's a duty. You do it because of love.
You say, "I know. Well, I got to get up and get the kiddies ready to go to church this morning." Oh, my. See? Oh, my. You've never touched the resurrection. Brother, when the resurrection is come into your heart, you long to do it. There's something that you just can't keep away from it, something inside.
