<TITLE>08. Par 36-40</TITLE>L-36 Think of it, how God has made a way a beating from His body. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, look at the Life coming out of Him. You took the tree and laid it down and would beat it, and when they beat it, the rosin would fly out of it. And they put that same rosin that come out of one tree and poured it into this one to make an atonement, make a separation of something that would float.
And the only way that Noah knew to do it, it could not be scientifically proved, but Noah was led by God to do it. That's the way men and women are today that's borned again of the Spirit of God is led by the Spirit of God to live like Christians, and act like Christians, and believe in the full Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
It's a leading. It's all nonsense to the unbeliever. I could prove to you tonight by the Bible that the Church of the living God is built upon spiritual revealed truth.

L-37 When Cain and Abel was in the garden of Eden to begin with it, Cain was just as religious as Abel was, but who told Abel it took a lamb? Who told Cain, it took a nice something to catch the eye of God?
And Cain worshipped just the same as Abel worshipped. Cain made a offering the same as Abel did. Cain was just as sincere as Abel was. So sincerity don't save you. God has a way, a program, and you got to walk into that.

L-38 And Cain come and worshipped. If God only requires a man to join church, bow at the altar, and worship God, and give of his--his tenth to the church, or--or whatever it is, and all the good deeds and things he could do, would it testify for him in glory, then God would be unjust to condemn Cain.
But Abel, not by works, not by building some great organization, not by doing something else, making great churches, and flowerly altars, and flowerly speeches, but somehow he was led by the Spirit of God. And he goes over and gets a little lamb and wraps a piece of grapevine around his neck, and offered him on the altar, and died on the same altar his lamb died on. That's a revelation.
Every man that comes to God and is free from the judgments has got to die on the same altar the lamb did... empty up everything of self, that God might pour in the Holy Spirit. That's right.

L-39 Notice. Jesus come down off the mount one day. This is over in the New Testament. Coming down off of the mount one day, He saw some people, and He was talking to them, and He asked them; He said, "Who does man say that I, the Son of man, am?"
"Some said You're Moses, and Elias, and the prophets and so forth."
He said, "But Who do you say that I am? I don't care what someone else says, but what's your personal opinion of Me?"
Peter, being led by the Holy Spirit, not taking what somebody else said, said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

L-40 Listen at Him. He turns around and said, "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonas or Bar-jona: for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. You never learned this out of a book; you never learned this out of a seminary; you wasn't taught this in some church; papa, mama never told you this; some preacher didn't tell you this, all as good as it may be but that's not it yet." He said, "My Father which is in heaven has revealed this to you, (and you've been led, in other words, so many words,) you've been led to make this confession, and upon this rock I'll build My church; and the gates of hell can't prevail against it," upon spiritual revealed truth of the living God.
