<TITLE>11. Par -</TITLE>L-314-650 When they come down off of Mount Transfiguration, Jesus said, "Who does man say I the Son of man am?"
"Some say You're Moses, and some say You're Elias, and some say You're Jeremiah, and some say You're that prophet."
He said, "But Who do you say I am?"
Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
He said, "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you. (Watch.) Not no more through the letter, not no more through the school; you never learned it in a seminary; neither did somebody tell you. Flesh and blood hath not revealed this to you, but My Father which is in heaven has revealed it to you. And upon this rock I'll build My Church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it." There you are. There's the church of the living God. That's it. Upon that church... Upon that revelation, this church is built. It's a Divine revelation that God has revealed, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and you accept Him as your personal Saviour, you've passed from death unto Life.

L-315-655 And the Holy Spirit's a-moving and working in the members of this body. There's the church. No matter if it's poor, and in a mission, and you stand out under a pine tree somewhere, or wherever it is, if it's in somebody's house in a private meeting, no matter where it would be... Beauty and things doesn't enchant God. It's the sincerity of the heart by a revelation that Jesus Christ has been presented as the Son of God, a personal Saviour. Amen.
My, we can never get these, go through like that, will we?

L-315-657 There's the ones that--over there that He went... The angels, the messengers, them preachers, them the intellectuals, them messengers that believed not when Noah went to preach to them and told them, "Why, come into this ark."
They said, "Listen to that holy-roller. Listen to that fanatic. Why, there's no rain. Whoever heard of such a thing? Why, my, don't we have churches? Aren't we religious?" Why, they were religious.
Jesus said it would be a generation that passed just then, would be--that generation would repeat again just before His coming, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man. For they were eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage." They had a Reno, Nevada, then somewhere. They had all kinds of nonsense that they got today, rallying, and frolicking, and making fun, scoffers, and so forth: having a form of godliness, but denying the real truth: the covenant, the Message of grace. God making this way and giving the people His--His covenant, how they could escape; It had salvation in it. Salvation was a place to escape.
