<TITLE>10. Par 51-55</TITLE>L-51 Jesus confirmed it. He said, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws him first." It's God seeking man. You have nothing to do with it. If you ever felt the hand of God knock at your heart, you're a privileged person.
No man is saved, not what you do, but what He done. Notice. No man is saved by the law. And I'm glad that He dismissed Moses. Moses represent the law, the Sabbath keeping, non-meat eating and all those laws and shadows. He said, "Away with it."

L-52 Now, what did Elijah represent? Elijah represent the sternness or the justice of God. God knows we don't--we don't plead for judgment or justice. I plead for mercy, not for justice. How can we receive justice when we're born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies? Our very being here, God would condemn. He's already condemned it.
So we're without hope trying to stand on the justice of God. Elijah stood on the mountain, and they sent a captain of fifty. He raised up, that prophet, and went to meet them, said, "If I be a man of God, let fire fall from heaven and consume you." And fifty was burnt up.
King said, "We'll send some more. Send another captain and fifty."
Elijah walked out there and said, "If I am a man of God, let fire come from heaven. You're trespassing on God's ground. I'm God's justice. Let fire fall from heaven and consume you." And fifty was burnt up. God's justice: he was the line of God's justice.
So I don't plead to law. I don't plead for God's justice. What a... I'm so glad. Let us turn our head and look this a way.

L-53 There stood Jesus. What did He represent? God's love. That's what I want. That's what we need, not His law, not His judgments, but God's love.
"This is My beloved Son." Let the rest of it pass away. "Hear ye Him." Why do you want to hear Him? He's the only One that has Eternal Life in His hands. He's the only One Who can save you. The law can't save you; your judgments can't save you; your justice can't save you. Your own selfish, righteous rags can't save you. Your religion can't save you. Your church can't save you. He alone can save you. That's the reason you ought to "Hear ye Him."

L-54 He can heal you. Your doctor can't heal you; the hospital can't heal you; your medicine can't heal you. All your quacks and turns and everything else can't heal you. All your superstitions can't heal you. He alone can heal you. "Hear ye Him."
All your...?... and jollies, and your Elvis Presleys, and rolling booking, woogie, and rock-and-roll, and all your nonsense only brings you down to sorrow. There's only One can give you joy; it settles and there's you peace, "Hear ye Him.
All your social prestige and whatever you might put your heart into, your social standing, and your gatherings and so forth, can never give you the peace that passes all understanding. He has it alone. "Hear ye Him."
All your church joining, denominational fusses, and your stews, and difference, and arguing, it'll only take Him away from you. Forget it and, "Hear ye Him."
That clock just keeps moving and I know I got to quit.

L-55 Oh, how I would like to see the whole Christian church just look up and "Hear ye Him." He's the One. God's looking and searching for men who will stand out, outstanding men, not because you can do this or do that, because in your heart, in your innermost being there's something that loves Him.
No matter what the world calls for, it's death. God, grant the day that when Christians will be Christians. And if you're not a Christian, quit dodging behind your church, trying to make people believe you're a Christian. God knows you're not.
