<TITLE>17. Par 157-166</TITLE>L-157 When morning come, way before the break of day, she gathered up a great big bunch of barley (six measures I believe it was) and put it in her--her little shawl, and went home. And--and Naomi said, "My daughter..."
After she had raised up from the altar and went back, "Now, what's going to happen, mama? What's going to take place now?" Amen.
"Rest. (Amen.) Rest, Ruth, because the man will have no rest until he's done the full price of redemption." Amen, amen. Right there's where I stand. Amen. He will not rest until He's done the full price of redemption to redeem you, everything that you ever lost, everything that you was.

L-160 Now, remember, the law of redemption... As we're coming to the--close to the end of the service. All the law of redemption is this: that before a man could redeem a lost property, he had to be the nearest kinsman. And the next thing, he had to be an upright man, a just man, to do it. And then he had to be worth enough money to do it. And then he had to make a public testimony that he had done it. And from then on it was his property.
So now, look. Boaz represented Christ. Now, Ruth represented the church, you, the believer. And now, God in the Old Testament, the only way that He could come and redeem what had been lost, God had to come kinfolks to man. And the only way that God could become kinfolks to man, was to be one of them. Amen.

L-162 I different with Billy Graham on three individual persons in the Godhead, or any other trinitarian teacher on that. I believe in a trinity, of course, but not in that manner: them being three persons. They're One. That story there alone, if I had nothing else but that, would prove it.
God became man. He had to become kinfolks. And He couldn't be God... And us sinners, creations of His creation, creative beings of His creation, 'cause He couldn't be kinfolks there. So God became man, that man might became God--become God. Amen.

L-164 We being men, sinners... God became a sinner, took our sins upon Him, knowing no sins, yet was a sinner because our sins was placed upon Him, that we... He become me, that I might become Him. See? He become a sinner that I might become a son of God. He become a sinner, that you might become a son of God. And now, we are sons and daughters of God because God was made kinfolks when He took on the form of our flesh, was born of a woman. God, not another person, God, Himself... I Timothy 3:16 said.
... without controversy great is the mystery of godliness for God was manifested in the flesh,... (God)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word was made flesh,...

L-166 The Word, made a human being, become a Kinsman. He become a man. Oh. He become death, that through His death I might become Life. He become a sinner, that through His righteousness I might become--have Life. He become poor, that I through His poverty, I might be made rich. He become what I was, so that I might through His grace become what He is. Oh, my. Then talk about powers of God. Now, that's exactly the Scripture. And that's what the Scripture says.
That we might be... What love the Father has beshed upon us--shed upon us, that we which were sinners, aliens, away from God, might be drawed nigh unto God; insomuch, that we become sons and daughters of God, not servants. The Gentile church was never a servant. No, sir. The Gentile church is son and daughter. You are sons and daughters of God, who has received the Holy Ghost. Now, if you're Orpah...?... and turned away... But if you've went on through to the Holy Spirit, you become sons and daughters.
