<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 Now, approaching this, let's get something of the Old Testament that even the newborn babes, the children in Christ, might be able to comprehend it, to understand as we show it by parables, how it happens.
As I say, now, remember: All the things of the Old Testament was a shadow of the things to come. Hebrews 11:1...
... the law having a shadow of good things,...
A shadow... Hebrews 10, rather, 1... The law having a shadow of good things to come, therefore they offered a Lamb in the Old Testament as a shadow of God giving the Lamb of God: all the things being a shadow. Then if this great vital prediction here of the Scripture, surely God will give us a foreshadow of what--how it is done.

L-15 Now, I think it's so beautifully typed in the Scripture and given by inspiration. And we could go back into the--the Exodus. We could go back into Leviticus the 21st, find the jubilee year and go over into Exodus, I think, about the 6th chapter, and so forth, and many places pick this up.
But now, how are we saved? By faith are you saved, and that's by grace: nothing you can do, not one thing you can do to be saved. If you can, then Christ's death is in vain.
It isn't what you eat, what you drink, how you dress, this, that, or the other, but you are saved by grace through faith. God by His sovereign grace foreordained, spoke your word, your life into existence before the world was ever formed, and by His infinite mind knowed what you'd be in the final end.
Then grace constrained Him. Love constrained Him to project sovereign grace to the earth to make a provision to save you. If He seen you desired to be saved, then God through His love, His great attributes would not permit Him to do nothing else if God is love.

L-16 And seeing a group of people before Him that was going to be lost, it ought to love to take the place of, make a way of escape. He must do it. It would be against His nature not to do it. So He makes a way. And then as He makes a way, He also has set many mileposts, warnings, red lights, and so forth as we journey on down through life.
Why, even the law of the land fixes stop signs, red lights, go lights to help save our mortal life. And that's just the feeling of mankind one for another. How much more has the God of heaven fixed warnings, signals, signs, to let us bypass these things?
