<TITLE>07. Par 56-67</TITLE>L-56   Now, in that time, the token must be on the door. It must be there, regardless of how religious the house was, how religious the people, how well they had brought up their children, how fine they attended church, how well they had displayed all the things that God had said. It still, at that last hour, where it showed between death and life, the blood had to be displayed. And the blood showed that an innocent substitute had been taken in the place of the worshipper. And the chemistry of the blood, the red blood itself, was a sign on the door that this house was safe, under the blood. Now, that was a type.

L-57   Now, in these last days, we're coming back again to the hour of God delivering His Church. I--I believe it. And as certain as that blood had to stand for a memorial, so does the token have to be. It's required today. For, now, they could not take the chemistry of the Blood of the Lord Jesus and placed it upon every heart's door.

L-58 But, you see, that time, an animal died, which was a lamb. And to show that the animal was dead, the blood was on the door. So the life that was in the animal could not come upon the worshipper, because the animal doesn't have a soul. So the life that was in the animal could not come upon the worshipper.

L-59   But, today, when the Blood of God's own Son was shed at Calvary for our pardoning and release, the life that was in that Blood was God Himself. And the Holy Spirit returns upon His Church, upon His believer, and it's a token in these last days, that He will pass over the man or the woman that's accepted the death of Jesus Christ as their substitute. And the Holy Spirit bears record.

L-60 You might say, "I've accepted It." And you still live in the world, you still live like the world, then there's no evidence that that Life was for you, until that evidence of the Holy Spirit has struck into your life.

L-61 There is God's requirement, that every man or woman must have, that evidence as a token in this last day. "When I see the Blood."

L-62   Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, of the water and Spirit, he will in no wise enter into the Kingdom."
Therefore it's been God's program, all the time, Blood. It was blood in the Old Testament. It was Blood in the New Testament.

L-63 In the Old Testament was the chemistry, which was a type of the life that is to come. It showed that there was a substitute taken, but the worshipper went out with the same guilty conscience that he had when he come in and offered his lamb.

L-64 But this way, "When the worshipper, once purged from sin, has no more conscience of it," the thing is dead, passed away, and you've changed from death unto Life. And you're alive again in Christ Jesus with Eternal Life, the Holy Spirit resting within you, bringing forth the Life of Jesus Christ again. For the Bible said, in Hebrews 13:8, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-65 God is waiting the hour to see His Church come to that position, regardless of denomination, regardless of creed, color, or whatever it may be, that His entire Church would come to the place that they're displaying the token of the death of Jesus Christ.

L-66 "For a little while," He said, "and the world sees Me no more, yet ye shall see Me; because I live, you live also. I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world," Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-67   I get among Christians sometime who claim to be sainted men, women of God. They're ashamed of a testimony. They're ashamed to say, "Amen." They're ashamed to sing the songs of Zion. They're ashamed everywhere. I like to get among people who is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Though It seems like heresy, but yet they're not ashamed. Something has happened, and It means more than life to them. It is life. It's Life Eternal because they have accepted God's substitute.
