<TITLE>07. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 Now, God cannot make a decision today, and tomorrow come back and make a better decision (See?), because His first decision is perfect. He never has to change it. So therefore we can rest upon whatever God says. That's the reason that I believe the Bible is God's Word.
Now, the reason I believe that, that God has to judge the world by some standard. And if it's by a church, which one is it? See, there's hundreds of them, and the different churches and organizations. All right. But you can't... the Lutherans say, "We have it." And the Baptists say, "No, we got it." And the Presbyterians say, "We got it." And the Pentecostals say, "No, this is it." The Nazarenes say, "No, this is it."
You'd be confused. But you see, it's the Word. I--I just believe it's the Word. See? Just take it the way it's wrote and believe it. And it's of no private interpretation, it says. It's just written there.

L-27 And then if He's got to judge the world by some standard, why, this... He's watched over it, so it's just the way it ought to be. So I just believe it like that. Just read it and say, "Yes, Lord." And I believe when we believe God, every time God says anything, we punctuate it with "Amen." That's right, whatever God says. He said, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."
Now, somebody would say, "Well, in a way, I..."
"Amen."
If He said, "Repent and be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost,"
"Amen," See?
He said, "The just shall live by faith." "Amen."
And He said, "I'll come again."
"Amen." And whatever He says, the Holy Spirit inside of us just punctuate with "Amen," See? Then look for the next thing. See? Now, that's--that's wonderful that we can have a faith like that.

L-28 Now, the reason I know it's right because God said over in the book of Revelation, "Whosoever shall take one part out of this Book, or add one part to It..." Oh, my, that must be what He's going to judge the world by then.
Oh, you say, "He's going to judge it by Christ." He is the Word. Can't get away from it. Now, it's a--right back again; He is the Word. So now... So we know that Word is true. And if you say you have Christ and don't believe this Word, there's something wrong with what you got...?... The Word is right. It's got to be the Word.

L-29 Now, we find out that God gave His children the best. And therefore He don't have to improve it. He just... He never changes. He hasn't changed one bit since the first time He gave for His children's protection. Now, when He knew... The war in heaven, He had to kick out Satan. Then He came down on the earth and fortified His children with His Word.
I want to ask you something. Just think, that... Now, Eve did not, while she's standing in this great fort--fortress of His Word... Now, Satan was on the outside trying to use some kind of a technique to get her out of there, for as long as she stayed behind the Word, everything was fine. That's where we make our mistake. We make our mistake when we get from behind the Word. So I believe all Bible believers think it that way. We get from behind the Word, then we're in trouble. But as long as we keep the Word ahead of us... Don't get ahead of the Word; let the Word get ahead of you. See? You just let It go first, and you just live right behind It. It plows the ditch, and you just walk in it. See? And that's the way it goes.
