<TITLE>04. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 And now, how do we teach Divine healing today? That it's--He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed.
Now, when you say... If I say in this little group tonight, "How many of you been saved, got saved last year?" Well, some of you'd raise your hands. "How many got saved twenty years ago?" Some would raise their hands. Well, that's potentially the truth, but yet it isn't all the truth. You were saved nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus died for you. You just accepted your pardon a year ago, and twenty years ago, and so forth. Now that's... See? It's--it's a redemptive blessing that Jesus finished at Calvary, where He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed. No man can forgive your sins, 'less you've sinned against him. And no man can heal your diseases, because it's already been done.

L-15 If Christ, Himself, stood here tonight with this suit on that He's give me, He could not heal you; He's already done it. See? He... If you've been redeemed, how can you be redeemed a second time? You've already been redeemed. If you had something in a pawn shop, and went, and--and give a receipt, and you got a receipt that you redeemed that thing from the pawn shop, how can you redeem it the second time? It's already been redeemed. So we are a redeemed product of God's grace. Praise be to His holy Name. He's a... We are redeemed now, physically and spiritually.
Now, what's happened? We are now drawing the earnest of our salvation. And if there is no earnest money down for Divine healing, then there is no resurrection. If there isn't a joy and a new life that makes new nature and a new person, then there is no Eternal Life. We--we will have a end someday. But if we got Eternal Life, It has no end, because that's God's Life. And then if we have the joy of that in our hearts, and we know that we've passed from death to Life, and our lives shapes up with what God promised, then we've got the earnest of our salvation, knowing that we will live forever, because the attributes of His Spirit is working through us. And then, if there is no Divine healing, then there is no resurrection. See? So we must have both witnesses, as both are--complete Eternal Life, and for our resurrected body.

L-16 Now, I believe the Word to be the full Word of God. I've... God can do something that's not written in this Word. I know He's big enough He can do what He wants to, but to me, I believe just what He wrote here is a plenty. I don't want any more than He wrote, but I want all that He wrote. See? I don't want to add anything to it or take anything away from it; I just want what He said.
Now, there's many times that people might say, "Well, different things, with this, and have little theologies, and little creeds, and so forth." That's all right. But to me, I like to state just what He said, then I just say it the way He said it. And then you know you're right.
