<TITLE>19. Par 433-442</TITLE>L-433   Now we're closing. Then Brother Neville will pick up where I leave off here. All right.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred year, four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
That's the promise God give Abraham, before the law ever came into existence.
For if the... for if inheritance be of the law, it is no more of the promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Not by nothing you do, not by any laws, any laws of your church, by joining church, or any other law. It's absolutely a grace act of God, to you. There you are.

L-434 Watch.
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgression, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;...
Isn't that just as plain as the nose on my face? "It was added, to serve until the Seed came, which was Christ, to Who the promise was made."
... and it was ordained by angels and in the hands of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

L-435 Now, I leave from right here, beginning from right there for Brother Neville, for this coming Wednesday.

L-436   Now do you understand what we have said? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That it is absolutely impossible for a born-again Christian that... I don't mean, now, he calls himself, "born-again." I mean, a real, born-again Christian, to ever fall from grace, he cannot do it. He can fall, that's right, but he cannot, never, get out of that grace.
Abraham fell from grace. Sure, he did. God told him to "stay there." He went out of it, but he never lost his covenant. He was still God's chosen. He was a prophet setting there. He always was. He'll always be God's.

L-437 Now notice. The Bible said, that, "All of Israel will be saved." How many knows that? The Bible said, "All Israel's will be saved." Now, "Israel is not Israel which is of the flesh, but Israel of the Spirit, for gifts and callings are without repentance." Is that what the Bible said, the very next verse? Galatians. All right. "All of Israel will be saved. Every one of them is saved." How we become Israel? "Being dead in Christ, take on Abraham's Seed, and we're heirs according to the promise."

L-438 Paul said, "That which is outward is not a Jew, but that which is inwardly, is a Jew, the promised Ones." And we are Abraham's Seed, by the promise, through Christ, accepted Him as our personal Saviour.

L-439   Oh, I hope you see it. I hope you get it, if you can stay with It a little while. Now over in here we finish this up, then we start on Melchisedec, which brings right back in this again. We start right on over to... Oh, It's just, the whole thing is wonderful. But we just keep getting into those cream thing.

L-440 Now, see, if you took This here, look like, if you could read It just from observation... Like a real strict trinitarian, who believes there's three Gods, told me one time, that, "Matthew 3 absolutely declared that there was three, three individual Persons in the Godhead."

L-441 I said, "I got to see it."

L-442 He said, "Watch." Standing right from this pulpit, he said, "Looky here, Matthew 3." Said, "When Jesus went straightway out of the water, lo, the heavens opened unto Him. And He saw the Spirit of God like a dove. And the Voice from Heaven saying, 'This is My beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased.' And there was three: the Son on the bank; the Holy Ghost in between; and the Father up above."
I said, "Brother, the Scripture doesn't read that."
"Oh, yes, it does."
I said, "Now read It again, find out if It does."
