<TITLE>20. Par 175-183</TITLE>L-175   If I run around with women every day, and come in, tell my wife I loved her, she'd know I was a liar. My actions would speak louder than my words. Certainly. I prove to her that I didn't love her, because I wasn't true to her.

L-176 She told me she loved me, and every time I'd be gone, she'd take off with somebody else, it would prove that she didn't love me. Right. Her actions prove it. I don't care how much she'd try to tell me, "Bill, I love you, and there's no one else in the world but you," I'd know she was a liar.

L-177   And when you try to say, "Lord, I love You," and doing the things of the world, God knows you're a liar, to begin with. So why? What's the use to accept an old half-way experience, and something another like that, when the great skies of Heaven are full of the real thing? Why do you want to be a miserable, professed, half-way, half-baked, so-called Christian? When, you can be a real born-again child of God, with the joy-bells of Heaven ringing in your heart, rejoicing, and praising God, and living a life of victory through Jesus Christ.

L-178 Not trying to do it yourself, because you'll fail, to begin with. But take Him, It's His Word, and rest upon what He said was the Truth. And believe Him, and love Him, and He'll make everything work right in right for you. That's it. That's the idea.

L-179   The Lord bless you. Don't want to scold you, but, brother, it's best to get a little scolding. You're my young'ns. See? And any papa that loves his kids will certainly correct them, or he's not the right kind of a papa. Is that right? That's right. And this papa only has one rule, and that's the rule of the home. And God only has one rule, and that's His Word.

L-180 If we believe His Word, then we'll live by His Word. It's our duty, if we've ever met God. Not because you say, "Well, I go to church, and I've got to do this." You're miserable. Don't do that. Why do you want to be a miserable, decrepit, ungodly crow for, when you could be a dove? Certainly. You just have to have your nature changed. And you change your nature, become a son and daughter of God, be at peace with God.

L-181   Jesus! "Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His Own Blood, suffered without the gates," Hebrews 13:12 and 13. Romans 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith," not by shaking hands, not by water baptism, not by laying on of hands, not with shouting, not with speaking in tongues, not with any sensation. "But being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." We've passed from death unto Life, and become new creatures, because we have believed on the only begotten Son of God, and accepted Him as our personal Saviour. And His Blood acts, tonight, as a propitiation for our sin, to stand in our place.

L-182   In the Old Testament, there's only one place to have fellowship, that's under the blood. Every believer had to come under the blood. When the red heifer was killed, she was made for a sin-offering. She must be red. And 19th chapter of Exodus, if any of you would like to read it. And she must be taken, hoof, all, burnt together. And then that was made a water of separation. It was set without the gates. It had to be handled with clean hand. The blood of this heifer went before... to the congregation, and stroked seven times up over the door. And now, every defiled person walking up, must first recognize and see that blood, and realize that there's only fellowship beneath that blood. That's the only place the worshipper could actually worship officially, was under the blood.

L-183   Then, the first thing he had to do, before he could come under the blood, there had to be this water of separation sprinkled upon him, and the uncleansed was made clean.
