<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 Now, whether I can satisfy you with it or not, I do not know. But to me, it certainly satisfies me. And being not efficient in education; therefore, I approach the Scriptures from the standpoint of a type, and more like a typologist to type what has been, what will be. Because we know that the Scriptures each have a compound meaning. That like in Matthew 3 it said, "Out of Egypt I have called my son." Now, if you'll run that reference back, you'll find out that it meant Jacob, His son, and also Jesus His Son.
So in typing we see where the Old Testament types the New. And all these different shadows and types, like the--the moon and the sun is a type of Christ and the church. And as the sun goes down, the moon gives light in the absence of the sun. Just like as the Son left the earth to go into glory to the Father, then the moon, the church gives the light. And how the moon gets its light is reflecting the sunlight to the earth, for a lesser light. And all these things, it may seen more like a baby form for great theologians, but I don't believe I'm talking to too many of those. And if--if I am, then you excuse my illiterate way of trying to present it. But I would ask that you would search it thoroughly before you rudely disagree it.

L-10 Now, to Abraham and his Seed. I'm going to take on this side over here to be Abraham, take on this side, like this speaker, his seed after him. Now, this speaker here represents Abraham and this speaker represents his seed after him.
Now, the Bible said over here in--in Galatians 3:29, "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's Seed and--and heirs according to the promise."
Now, we all will agree that the promise was given to Abraham. And we've often wondered, and I have approached this text in another angle, than what I'm intending to this afternoon. I've approached it in the way of faith for the church, the believers, and so forth, to build faith on healing. But being this afternoon, they didn't--no one for the cards, then I thought it'd give time to explain this, while we had a chance. Now, Abraham...

L-11 I want the congregation to say it with me, all the--the class, I will call you, to say it with me. On this side is Abraham, Abraham and his seed after him. Now, the promise was made to Abraham and (conjunction that ties sentence) Abraham and his seed after him. Then the Scripture said, "If ye be in Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed." Is that right?
Now, how do we get in Christ? The subject starts on this. How do we come Christ? It's when we are become Christians? How do we become Christians? When we are filled with the Spirit of Christ, then our life is governed by the Life of Christ, which is in us.

L-12 Now, like if a vine brought forth a--a grapevine. It--it brings forth grapes. And a watermelon vine brings forth a watermelon. Then if Christ be in you, then the Life that Christ lived and the works that Christ did, you'll do, also. He said so in Saint John 14:7 or 8, I believe it is. It said, "The works that I do shall you do also. He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he also; and more than this shall he do, for I go to the Father."
Now, promise made to Christ, or to Abraham, and his seed, and we being in Christ are Abraham's seed. Now, how do we get into Christ? Do we get into Christ by a profession? No. Do we get into Christ by joining church? No. Do we get into Christ by water baptism? No. How do we get into Christ?
I Corinthians the 12th chapter says that "By one Spirit we are all baptized into one body," which is the body of Christ. By one Spirit we're all baptized into one body and become members of this body.
