<TITLE>10. Par 35-37</TITLE>L-35 Brings you into this little thought. I don't know if I said it--told this little story that I read out of a book one time, about a man here in America. His name is Greenfield. He's been dead now about seventy-five years, I guess. He died, oh, I guess he's... Maybe longer than that. But before he died, he dreamed a dream, that he'd went to glory. When he got up there, he went up to the gate, and he said to the saint, "I am Danny Greenfield." He said, "I'm an evangelist. I come to take my position."
He said, "Just a moment, sir, your name has to be on the book here." He looked over the book and he said, "There's no Greenfield--Daniel Greenfield here."
He said, "Oh, you must be wrong, sir." He said, "I was an evangelist in America."
Said, "Nope. It's not here."
Said, "What can I do?"
Said, "If you wish to, you might appeal your case to the great white throne judgment."
So he said, "That's all I have left."
So he said it seemed he was passing through the air for a while, begin to get lighter and lighter. After while as he got lighter, he got slower till he stopped. He couldn't see just where the Light was coming from, but it was all around him. And said heard a voice that said, "Who is this that approaches My throne of justice?"
He said, "I'm Daniel Greenfield." Said, "I was up at the heaven gates, and the--the gatekeeper turned me away, and said I'd have to stand before Your judgment. And I appeal my case to stand here, Sir."
Said, "All right. I will judge you by My justice then." He said, "My justice requires perfection." He said, "Did you ever lie when you was on earth?"
He said, "I thought I'd been a honest man and had been truthful." But said, "In the Presence of that Light, I seen a lot of times I told things that wasn't right."

L-36 Look, friend, we may go to church every Sunday. We may be very religious. Oh, sure. You might pay your tithes, and you might just be as good a person as Los Angeles has got. That may be true. But I tell you: There's a lot of things going to stand before you if that's all you got, when you stand at that white throne judgment. No wonder few there'll be that'll be saved.

L-37 And he said, "I thought I'd told the truth." But said, "I seen a lot of things I told wasn't just right." He said, "Yes, I--I told lies."
He said, "Then, did you ever steal?"
He thought, "There's one I can answer." But said in the Presence of that Light, he saw a many little shady deal. He never thought of it in natural life.
See, we're just on the negative side. We're looking with shaded eyes. But when we stand there in His Presence, the glasses is going to be pulled off. We'll see face to face with Him then. That's when it's going to be terrible.
Then he said, "Yes, I--I--I--I guess I did steal."
He said, "Daniel Greenfield, My justice requires perfection! Was you perfect when you was in your life?"
He said, "No, Lord. I wasn't perfect."
Said he was waiting to hear that great blast, "Depart from Me, you worker of iniquity."
Said he heard a voice. It was the sweetest voice he ever heard in his life. And he turned to look; he said he saw the sweetest face that he ever saw; said, "No mother could look or talk like that." Said, "As He walked up close to Him, He put his hand upon his shoulder, and He said to Him, 'Father, that is true. Danny Greenfield, in his earthly journey, he wasn't perfect. But there's one thing he did when he was in earth, he stood for Me. Now while he's here in heaven, I'll stand for him. All of his sins, put it up on My account.'" And He had paid for it at Calvary.
