<TITLE>14. Par 121-132</TITLE>L-121 You go up now and say, "Oh, hallelujah, I got saved last night. But, well, bless God, she made me backslide. Hallelujah, someday I'll get saved again." You poor untrained illiterate. That's not the way it is.

L-122   "The worshipper once purged has no more conscience of sin," the Bible said. Listen, as we read on, just a minute.
But in those sacrifices... as remembered against sin yearly.

L-123 Now we're going to drop down, to hit about the 8th verse, to save time, and where I want to get to.
Above then when he said, Sacrifice and offerings and burnt-offerings... for sin thou wouldest not, neither has thou pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

L-124 9th verse.
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the... take... He taketh away the first, the law, that he may establish the second.

L-125 Wish we had time to stay on that. As long as you're a Presbyterian, or a Pentecostal, or Baptist, or Methodist, He can never do nothing with you. He has to take that all away, first, see, so He can establish the second. Long as you say, "Well, I'm a Methodist." Ah, nothing against the Methodists, or Baptists, or Pentecostal. But, brother, that don't--that don't spell it. You got to go on to perfection, that's into Christ.

L-126   Watch this now, just a minute.
By the which... we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

L-127 Huh? Let's just read just a little further, and hold that. Let that soak in while we're reading, "Once for all."
And every priest standing daily ministering the offering ofttime the same sacrifice, which can never take away sin:
But this man,...
Are you ready? You got your vest open now, so it won't dodge, it'll go right to the heart? "But this Man." What Man? Not the pope of Rome, not the bishop of the Methodist church, or any other church.
But this man, Christ, after he had offered one sacrifice for sin for ever, sat down at the right hand of God;
From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Watch. Here she comes.
For by one offer he has p-e-r-f-e-c-t-e-d, he has perfected...
"Until the next revival"? What'd that say?
... he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Do you get it? "Let us go on to perfection."

L-128   Now you holiness people say, "Oh, yeah, we believe in holiness. Hallelujah! We believe in sanctification." But you're taking your own. You just quit this and quit that. You know you shouldn't do it.
Unless Christ has opened the door and quickened it to your heart, and you become a place where sin is dead, and desire, it's all gone. Then, He taketh away your own self-righteous, He may establish Himself in you. "And it's Christ, the Son of God, in you, the hope of Glory."
... let us go on to perfection;

L-129 How can we be perfect? Through the death of Christ. Not through joining church. Not through our good works, what we do. That's all all right. Not because we were baptized this way or that way. Not because that we been healed, by laying on of hands. Not because of any of these other things, "We believe in the death, burial, and resurrection."

L-130   Paul said, "I could speak with tongue like men and Angels," that's both the tongues that is understood and the tongues that cannot be understood, has to be interpreted, "I am nothing. Though I have the gift of knowledge and understand all the wisdom of God," can explain the Bible, from... tie her together, "I am nothing." Don't do much good to go to school then, does it, to learn the Bible? "Though I have faith that I can move mountains..." Healing campaigns don't mean very much then, does it? "I'm nothing, though I give my body to be burnt as a sacrifice."

L-131 "Oh," they say, "that man is religious."

L-132 "But he's nothing," Paul said, "never become nothing."
