<TITLE>06. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 That's the story, God coming making a way. Something that we could not do, He did for us. That's the whole story. That lays right in there, that God came down in His Son, Christ Jesus; died for your sins, that you unworthy, and nothing you can do about it... Yet through God's love and grace, He calls you to Him. As you accept it, then you're still not right. But God don't see you, nothing but right. See? Because He looks through the red Blood of His Son. And as I said the other night, red through red, looks white. And you are--you are redeemed by the precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And the Lord Jesus, He's... He in the form of the Holy Ghost, the third Person, is here tonight in His resurrection, doing the same thing in His Church, that He did when He was here to carry on the work until the last enemy is put under His feet. That's as clear as I know the Gospel. It's very simple; there's nothing complicated about it.

L-21 Now, Jude said here, after about thirty-three years after Pentecost; he said, "I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation. It was needful for me to write unto you, and to exhort you, that you should earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints."
Now, I say, "Methodist brethren, does your church contend for that faith?"
"Amen, Brother Branham." Baptist brethren, do your church?
"Yes, sir, Brother Branham." Pentecost, does yours?
"Yes, sir, Brother Branham." Catholic, does yours?
"Yes, sir, Mr. Branham." See? Everyone say, "My church is contending for that faith today."
Well, I want to say, "That's right." But do you contend for the whole faith? You see, that's what I'm wondering.

L-22 Now there's... Let's just... Now remember, I've expressed to you about different denominations, but let's just... There's got to be somebody right and somebody wrong. There just can't be too much mixed up. And I tell you where the wrong's at, mainly, where God would be in every one of the churches, but the little bridge that we draw between one another, separates us. If we would all... If the Methodist could say to the Baptist, "Brother," and all of them put their hands together and say, "We're onward Christian soldiers," then the little barriers would just fade away like that; we'd just move right on. And God would just do wonders in His Church. And He would reveal Hisself to everyone.
But now, in the way we stand tonight, and the way--way it must have been standing in the day of Jude, he said, "Now, I want you to earnestly contend for the faith."
Now, long ago, someone said to me, said, "Brother Branham, that's against my faith."
I said, "What kind of faith do you have? There's only one faith." One faith, one Lord, one baptism, that right? See, there's only one faith, and that's Christian faith. That's right. There ain't no Methodist faith and Baptist faith, and Pentecostal faith, and Catholic faith being different; it's just one faith. And that's faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, that should be simple enough the children could understand it.
