<TITLE>14. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 What we scared about? Listen to me, my weary brother, the Bible said that Jesus was the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world. Notice. Oh, my, how this burns your heart, how this gives you the hope. Way back before the foundation of the world, when Satan perverted to evil. God being infinite, looked down through the stream of time and saw the end: foreknowledge.
If He don't know all things, you have a limited God. You've made Him finite like you and I. But God is unlimited. God's power, God's knowledge, everything, He's the omnipotent. Way back before the foundation of the world, when Satan done the evil, 'cause Satan had in his mind what he was going to do, then God seen how He could counteract it. Amen.
The Bible said, "In the beginning was the Word (Saint John 1), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." In the beginning, when time begin... It was eternity, before that. This is in time we're talking about. Eternity is like a panoramic. It never... It never ends. It's a circle, continually, forever, and forever, and forever. It's an endless wheel that never stops or never has an end to it.

L-49 But Satan put a break in there, and come down here, and would've spoiled the whole thing, but God seen where there'd be a space of time. And being the great infinite One from the beginning to beginning, He looked down.
And He was in the beginning the Word. Now, a word is a thought expressed. God begin to think. As He begin to see every human being that ever come on earth, and every bird, and every flea, and every fly... Hallelujah. That makes Him the almighty, eternal, ever present God. That's the One we serve this morning.
Way back in the beginning when He seen that there was some people who was going to desire to be saved, some people who was going to want to be saved, some people who would be loyal in their heart: they wanted to be saved. Then He's got to make a preparation for their salvation (That's right.), or they will never be saved.

L-50 And He knows that anything imperfect cannot come into heaven, so He has to make a way of perfection for that. Amen. You see it? Then back there He said, "I, Myself, will come down into the world and take on human flesh. And I'll pay the penalty that's required here, and I'll take the place. And I'll make them perfect because I'll bring them in Me. And I am perfect." Then when Jesus said, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as those that are--that God is perfect..."
Then here was this mangled body, that was beaten and bruised for sin, and every sin that the world ever had, or ever would have, was laid upon Him. And He is the body that the Jehovah raised up on the last days there, on the third day after His death. And if we are in that body, we're just as perfect as the body is. Amen. There you are.
How do you get in that body? How do you get in it? The Bible said in Romans 8:1, "There's therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, that walk not after the flesh, but the Spirit." They don't care what the world says or what anybody else says, or even what their family says. They walk in the Spirit of God in perfect Divine love. You see it?
How do you get into it? By joining church, by shaking hands, by water baptism? No, sir.
