<TITLE>21. Par 194-199</TITLE>L-194 Now, one more quotation, before I leave to start the prayer line: one more quotation. I looked up this morning the word "redeemed." I just... Excuse me, my Arminian brethren, but I just have to put this in, not to hurt, but just to make you think. Look up what redemption means. Redemption actually applied in the Greek word to taking a slave from the market. I can't spell the Greek word just now, but it means, "take a slave from the market," to redeem.
A man's done something wrong so he--his master sold him into slavery, actually unto death. And he's in the market. He's a slave. But a man comes along, a worthy man that's able to do it, and finds this man, and finds grace in his sight. He redeems him. That's takes him from the slave market and takes him out to himself. Notice. And that slave, once redeemed, can never be sold in the market again. Amen. Can never be sold again, he's marked. And if he was thought enough of one time to be redeemed, no one can ever sell him again for a slave.

L-196 Oh, thanks be to God, that when a man has once come to Christ and been redeemed by the precious Blood, the devil can never make you a slave again. You're secure in the Blood of Jesus Christ until the day of your redemption. That slave... Look it up in Exodus and find out if that ain't the Levitical law--I mean in Leviticus. See if that ain't the law. The slave, once redeemed, can never be sold again for a slave. That's right.
Oh, I'm so glad. I am so happy to know that our Kinsman Redeemer, that the God of heaven, Who was Spirit, came down to the earth and was made flesh (made like I am, made like you are) and took on the form of sinful flesh, knowing no sin, that our sins might rest upon Him, and become kinfolks to us, made a public testimony of dying, paying the full price.
And God's Spirit witnessing back, the temple was rent (the veil) from top to the bottom (not from the bottom to top, but from top to bottom, showed that God Himself tore it open from above), rent it from top to the bottom and opened the way. And the sacrifice blocks turned over, and the lightning forked through the dark angry skies; the sun went down in the middle of the day; the stars refused to shine; and everything give a testimony. We are redeemed. Hallelujah.

L-199 Let us pray. [A prophecy is given--Ed.] With your heads bowed, now just a moment. That was prophetic utterance, calling to the church after the message.
Now, if there's some here who doesn't know Him, your lives are not right, you're invited now to stand here in the presence of this audience (the face of God) to accept Him as your Saviour. The water is in the pool for baptism. There's someone waiting to start the baptismal service right away.
