<TITLE>06. Par 51-59</TITLE>L-51 But, today, we have the Substance. We don't have just the form, or just the chemicals; you could not take the Blood of Jesus Christ and apply it to every heart. But God sent back the Holy Ghost, that's the Token was upon the human, in the human's heart. And that is your identification that you have accepted God's plan, met Jehovah's requirements; He met them for you at Calvary, and you have met them on your knees. And God has give you the Token sign, the return of the Spirit was upon Christ, is in you, and a guarantee identification of His life, death, burial, and resurrection, and alive forevermore, now in the believing Church. Amen. It's a positive Token, a token sign. That can...

L-52   It will be evil spoken of, sure. That's what it's there for. Egypt made fun of it, so does the people today. But still it's God's required Token. They couldn't put the blood, the chemical Blood of Jesus upon, like they did the lamb; because they put the chemical blood of the lamb upon him, because there was no life in the lamb that could come back on the worshiper. But here the Life that was in the Blood... Which, "the life is in the blood." Now the Blood was shed at Calvary, bathed upon the ground, and we have the Token of the Blood, which is the baptism of the Holy Ghost, to identify us as believers.

L-53   "And these signs shall follow them that believe," not just professors, but identified believers! "They may not follow. They probably will. Perhaps they will"? Jesus said, "They shall follow them that believe." Just absolutely impossible for it not to happen! "The works that I do shall you also." That's the identification. Jesus' identification was to manifest the Word of God, which He was. And the Church's identification today is to manifest the promised Word of this day, by the same Spirit that manifested and quickened the Word then. The same Spirit quickens the Word to the believer today and manifests the same thing, showing that the Token is on this person, which is the resurrected Life of Jesus Christ living in His believer. Oh, that ought to set a church afire! And that's true, just as true as it could be.

L-54   We have to identify ourself with our Sacrifice. We have to be identified in His death. When a Jew placed his hand upon the sacrifice, he was identifying himself, transferring his sins to his sacrifice, and the sacrifice died. Now we place our hands, by faith, upon Jesus Christ, and are identified with Him in His death.

L-55 Not only in His death, but, if we are accepted, we are identified not only in His death but in His resurrection. By the Life that was in Him, is sent back upon the believer, as a token, a memorial that death has passed from it, and God has sealed you into the Kingdom of God until the day of your redemption. Ephesians 4:30.

L-56 Real genuine Gospel, as clean as I know it! I know it's true. I've tried it. There is no other ism, no work up, no--no schemes, no gimmicks, no nothing. It's just pure unadulterated faith in the Word of God and the finished works that God required at Calvary, knowing that there is nothing we could do to save ourselves. We just accept what He did for us.

L-57   Abraham believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness. Then God gave him the seal of circumcision, as a token that He had received his faith. There is the Gospel.

L-58 Now when we claim that we believe God, then God will identify our faith, by giving us the Token of the Blood of Jesus, that finished the work for us at Calvary, then our Life is in His. The Life of our Sacrifice is in us.

L-59 It couldn't come by the chemical blood of the lamb, because there was nothing there to come back, just the chemistry. You couldn't transfer the blood into the human being. It won't work, an animal blood won't go into a human's blood. So the chemicals wouldn't work, showing it was the foreshadow.
