<TITLE>10. Par 80-89</TITLE>L-80   He was sinless by nature, and that's the only thing that could project that sinless God, Word, the Word being God. And a word is a thought expressed. And when God thought of parent, He expressed His thought, and--and Christ was God's expression. Amen. You see it? He was God's expression, that God could be us and live as we live, yet expressing perfectly what the perfect person should be, perfectly. He was God's Word expressed and properly vindicated, identified. When He stood here on the earth, He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me."
And He said, "Which one of you can accuse Me of sin?"

L-81   I would like to open that just a little bit for you, if it be permissible. You see, sin is "unbelief." There's only two thing, channels, that you can live by. One of them is faith, and the other one is unbelief. "He that believeth not is condemned already." Smoking, drinking, committing adultery, lying, stealing, carnal impersonations, those things are attributes of unbelief. If you was a believer, you wouldn't do those things. No. You do that because you're not a believer.
Oh, you--you say, you say, "Oh, but I am a believer."

L-82 "But by their fruits you shall know them." See? Your--your actions speak louder than what your confession proves. See? When you disbelieve God's Word, and count It as something gone by, or take some book in Its stead, and saying, "This is just as good as That," it goes to show that you're not a believer. That's right. You're--you're not. And if you was, then you would believe God's Word. It would... He would express Hisself through His Word.

L-83 Now, He was God's Word expressed. And He said, "Now, if you can't believe Me," said, "believe the works that I do. Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life. And that's the very thing that tells Who I am." Oh! I wonder if...?... "See, That's the One that says Who I am. The Scriptures tells Who I am."

L-84   And let me take that a little further, will you? The Scriptures is what tells what you are. That expresses you and expresses me. The Scriptures tell what we are. It's so loud that our voice cannot be even heard. Our life speaks louder than our voice, see, and it is God's way of letting us see what we are.

L-85 Jesus said the same thing. "They are They that testify of Me. They prove what I am. And which one of you can condemn Me of unbelief, sin? If I haven't properly..." Listen, I'm talking about looking at yourself. "If I haven't properly identified Myself as being what the Word said that I would be!"

L-86   Wonder if we Christians could think that tonight. Wonder if we can look in God's looking glass, of what requirements is of a Christian, and identify ourselves that way. I wonder if we could. I wonder if we can identify ourselves tonight with John 3:16, and, oh, all other kind of Scriptures; Mark 16th chapter, and all these other places, that, and over in--in Galatians, I believe, and--and different places, Second Thessalonians, where the fruits of the Spirit, and so forth. Wonder if we can identify ourself.

L-87 Jesus said, "Which one of you can accuse Me, that I haven't performed and done just exactly what the Scriptures said I would do." Nobody could say a word, because He had truly identified Himself.

L-88 And they, as they do always, the make-believer had identified Him as Beelzebub, an evil spirit. When He made Hisself known in discernment of spirit, that He was Messiah, then they said, "That's an evil spirit in Him, doing these things." So, you see, He was properly vindicated. There could be no mistake.

L-89   The little woman at the well didn't--didn't make any mistake. She said, "Sir, we know, when Messiah cometh, He will do these things, but Who are You?" She...
He said, "I'm He."
