<TITLE>13. Par 45-46</TITLE>L-45 Now, after Isaiah had told Israel they had polluted their substitute by traditions, and had proved it to them, and God rejected their prayers... Isaiah was a prophet, their teller, because that sacrifice went only to Israel.
But after that, there appeared another great prophet on the scene, and his name was John. We know him as John the Baptist. And he pointed not only Israel, but all Adam's race, to a Lamb that took away the sins of the world. And they polluted that day or dispensation, their insincerity and formal action, God erased the thing out. Then He sent another prophet to introduce another age and another Lamb. That was the Lamb of God for all Adam's race, that takes away the sin of the world. Soon that Lamb was nailed to His altar-cross. He was nailed up there on Calvary. What for? The forgiveness of sins, for not only Jew, but for whosoever will.
The Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses from all sin. No matter how many creeds we recite, it still has to be the applied Blood to take away the sin. And you apply it by faith in the Word, by believing that it's so; and then know that He responds back to you, and you know Him, know Him because you have followed His Word with sincerity.

L-46 Now, if any of you, or any man anywhere, ever feels the burden of his sin, we have a Lamb. Let's not pollute that program. It's the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world. It's the only provision that God has for sinful men, which I am, and you are; and sinful women, boys, and girls, is the Blood of Jesus Christ.
We must come sincerity to Him, and by faith lay our hands upon His head by faith, and connect ourself with Him, reckoning yourself dead now, and stay there until the results comes, till the Blood that was shed on Calvary has been applied to your heart. Then the burden's gone. See? "My burden's rolled away." Then you're free. He who the Son makes free is free indeed.
No wonder we can't have things like we used to or ought to have. We haven't come that sincere way that God has provided for us. You might... We don't want to pollute that, you know. It won't be polluted. Neither the other was polluted, but God taken it away from them.
