<TITLE>17. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 His death, burial, resurrection... And one named Saul was on his road down to Damascus to arrest the people for being in this way. And about noontime he was stricken down by a Light, the same Light. It can't change. It has to remain the same. "I come from God (made flesh), I go to God." Amen.
How do you know it was the same God? He said, "Lord..."
He said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
He said, "Who are You, Lord?"
He said, "I'm Jesus."
It was Him that come in that night, that Light, and took the shackles off of Peter, and opened up the gate, and took Him out, the Angel of the Lord. "I come from God, and I go to God," making Him Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's with us tonight, the same God.
Notice, in Abraham, He showed them signs all along to Abraham, but come to the master closing sign at last.

L-62 Now. Now, remember, we're setting here tonight. I see some of my Indian friends from up here, down. They're Indians; here's Germans, Swedes, Irish, all different kinds of people, or what we call nationalities. But there's only... We're all come from one man, Adam. And there's only three races in the whole world, and that is Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people, for from them three... After the antediluvian destruction there was no one on earth.

L-63 And notice Peter with the keys. He opened it to the Jews at Pentecost, to the Samaritans, and then up to Cornelius. And then from that on, it was to everybody. See? That's Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles. Now, notice, the Jews and Samaritans... The Samaritan was half-Jew and Gentile. So they believed in a God, but they was looking for a Messiah. And if they're looking for a Messiah, then He's duty bound to come to them. Amen. I feel pretty religious right now. Know that He keeps His promise.
Now, He came to the Jew, the elected Jew, and He made His sign known before them all. Some of them said, "Huh. Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller," calling the works of God an unclean spirit that could discern the thoughts: not knowing that the Word is a Discerner of the thoughts, a prophet, who the Word of the Lord came to the prophet, makes Him the Word in a portion. Like we are tonight, portions of the Word. He had the full Word: Fullness of God was in Him. He had It without measure; we have It by measure. But It's the same Spirit.

L-64 Notice. And here He stood doing exactly the Messiahic sign, and just one now and then of the Jews would believe Him. Now, there were those there who would not believe Him, and you couldn't say they wasn't good men. No, sir. They were good men. They had to live good. You couldn't say they wasn't honest, and upright, and wouldn't cheat, or steal. No, sir. But them things don't save you. It's not by good works are we saved. If good works would've done it, Christ wouldn't have had to die.
You see, it's a birth. You've got to be born again. You just got to be. There's no way at all out of it. "Except a man be borned again, He will in no wise see the Kingdom."
Now, look. Sin is not lying, stealing, drinking, committing adultery. That's not sin. That's the attributes of unbelief. The only sin there is is unbelief. The only righteousness there is is faith. Faith and unbelief, that's the only two sources it comes from. Je... The Bible says, "He that believeth not is condemned already."
So then, when how religious... Buddha religious them Mohammedans is as honest as the days is long. See? Sure. They're religious, kind, nice people, but unbelievers. So that makes them sinner. And any man that don't believe every Word of this Bible, the spirit in you is wrong. The Holy Ghost wrote the Bible. It said so. Hebrews the 1st chapter said, "Men of old moved by the Holy Ghost wrote the Bible." Right. So the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible. Can He turn around, and deny It, or inject something in It that wasn't right? The real Holy Spirit in every man's life will punctuate every verse in that Bible with an "Amen." The real Holy Spirit, It believes it.
