<TITLE>15. Par 51-53</TITLE>L-51 The 12th chapter of I Corinthians said, "By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body and become members of that body." And then it's not what I've done, what I am, who I was, or nothing about it; it's what God has done for me in Christ. And we are perfected with our Sacrifice.
He makes no mistakes. He wouldn't bring you in, if you wasn't worthy. He knows your heart. That's right. He knows what you are. He knows your motives. He knows what you are. There's traps all along the road. Sure. The devil will cause you to stumble, and you say, "I didn't mean to do that. God, You know it." You're still perfect, because there's a perfect Blood offered for you every day, and a bleeding Sacrifice hanging before the throne of Almighty God. That's right.
Now, how did you get in there? God, by foreknowledge... Now, God said that Jesus... Now, put on your caps. Get open your heart. Look. The Bible said Jesus was the Lamb slain from the, where? Foundation of the world He was slain. Why? God, the Father, when He looked down and seen how...
Jesus never come just to die a haphazard death. He never come, say, "Well, maybe somebody'd have pity when they see the way I die and everything." No, it wasn't. God don't run His business like that. God runs His business perfect. That's right. He knowed exactly what was going to take place. That's where He could foresay. He knows exactly what He... He's not willing that any should perish. He's not willing. But if He's infinite, He knows who will and who won't. Therefore, you can rest assure. If you have received God and been filled with the Holy Ghost, you're anchored to your eternal destination. Correctly. See, He foreknows.

L-52 Now, watch. The Bible said that Jesus, the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world was ever laid. Oh, I--I know I act funny up here. But I--I--I feel glorious. Look. What? Jesus was slain before the world even had the first speck of dirt laid. Jesus was already slayed. Why? Because God... Here it is. Get it.
God, by foreknowledge, when He was the Word in the beginning, He perceived the thought. Now, it's just a thought. Then when He spoke it and said, "It shall be," Jesus was slain, the very minute God spoke the Word. Then what? Four thousand years later, He come and paid the price that God had already done back here by His Word. He had to come. All devils in hell couldn't keep Him from coming. God had already spoke it.

L-53 Now, believer, have you got your joy shoes on? Listen to this. If you are a Christian, if you are truly a--God's child, the Bible said... That's not no preacher; that's the Bible. It said your names was written in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. Oh, my, the same time that Christ, that God sent Christ to be slain, He wrote your name with His. Hallelujah. There you are. Your name was written in the...
He said, "And he deceived all, great, small, so many were church members, pretended Christians. He deceived all whose names were not written, not in the Church book, but in the Lamb's Book of Life. When? Before the foundation of the world God wrote your name in the Lamb's Book of Life by His spoken Word, and sent Christ, the Sacrifice, to buy, to redeem that same group that He had wrote their names in the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world.
