<TITLE>23. Par 81-84</TITLE>L-81 And how, what a great privilege it is to know, that Jehovah God stands here today, taking this bunch of people, standing on their feet and giving them over to Jesus as a love gift. By the preaching of the Word, God has give these to His Son, Christ Jesus, for a love gift. They're Jesus' love gift. He's embracing them into His heart now. The Angels are recording their names.
And on that great, final day when the books are open, and another Book, which is a Book of Life, may their names be recorded there, Lord, every one of them. They're not ashamed here. There's several hundred people setting in here this afternoon, their associates, the people that they chummed with. But they're not ashamed; they love You. And they want to display this, like the mother deer. They are not ashamed; they stand right out here. They're ready to take their death to the old things of the world, that they might be new creatures in Christ. They want real love. And You've give it to them, to stand up and make this gallant stand.

L-82 No doubt there's many a self-style church member who ought to have stood and would not do it. Oh, what will it be that day, when You say, "I was--you was ashamed of Me that day in that meeting in the arena. I'm ashamed of your character." The Holy Spirit has to bring that to the Father: ashamed of Him. But O God, bless those who are standing. And we pray that You'll write their names in the indelible Blood of the Lord Jesus on the Book of Life. May they have Eternal Life from henceforth. Give them peace and love. May the love that only You can put in their heart, that I been speaking of: a love and a peace that passes understanding, a love that constrains them to God. May it come to every heart this afternoon.
And to those, even, who were indifferent, may they repent in their heart right now, and may they come sweetly and lovely to Christ just at this hour. They're standing, Lord. There's Your Word, is the only way I know how to place it. "He that heareth My Word and believeth has Eternal Life. He that'll confess Me before men, him will I confess before the Father." God, heavens and earth will pass away, but that Word will go forever. These people are now Yours, and I give them to Thee as the results of the message today, and the working of the Holy Spirit and God's love to them as gifts to Christ. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-83 May be seated. And you that's--when they set down, every Christian near the person that stood, reach over and shake their hand, will you? Say, "God bless you, brother. God bless you. We're glad to have you, sister." Shake hands with each one that stood up. Somebody make it their business to shake hands with those people and welcome them into the fellowship of the Lord Jesus.
Now, there's lots of good churches around here, all around through this country. Now, you join one of them churches right away. Go do it, and tell the pastor you want to be baptized into Christian faith, and you go and serve God. I'm just a--I'm just a missionary traveler, but someday I'll see you in the sweet by and by. I'll see you again by the grace of God, because I believe that you have now received Christ.

L-84 How many Christians in here feel that real love in your heart that I been talking about, raise your hands now? Just--that you feel in your heart... Isn't that wonderful?
 There's a land that is fairer than day,
 And by faith we can see it afar;
 For the Father waits over the way,
 To prepare us a dwelling place there.
 (Everybody now. Right out.)
 In the sweet by and by,
 We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
 In the sweet by and by,
 We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
