<TITLE>13. Par 116-123</TITLE>L-116 But when he foresaw, being a prophet, saw the resurrection of Jesus Christ, he screamed out, "My Redeemer liveth!" Watch, he called Him, "Redeemer." Watch. "I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He shall stand upon the earth; though after my skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh I shall see God." God and the Redeemer was the same thing, God and man made one. "I shall see God; Whom I shall see for myself, my eyes will behold, and not another." Amen.

L-117 Not nobody else but that Redeemer, God, that's Who my eyes behold. He's an absolute. He's the absolute. He takes all fears out of death. He takes all fears.

L-118   In Hebrews, the 2nd chapter, the 14th and 15th verse, watch. He took the form of man, to die like one, for all. He took the form of man. This Redeemer come down and was made man, so He could die, the one Man, for all man. Oh, how did He do it? What did God become a man for? To pay the penalty of man.

L-119 But, on Easter morning, He came forth with the keys of death, hell, and the grave. Amen. God, Who could die on the cross, and the graves couldn't hold Him; nothing, hell couldn't hold Him. Nothing could hold Him. He arose. He had the keys. He arose, a Conqueror, because He conquered both death, hell, grave. When He was on earth, He conquered sickness. He conquered everything. He conquered superstitions. He conquered everything there was to be conquered. And come out with death, hell, and the grave, the keys jingling at His side; and ascended on High, and gave gifts to man, and come back on the Day of Pentecost and handed them over to Peter, to the Church. Amen. He is our absolute. All fears of death... Because He lives, we live also.

L-120   Romans 8:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." We find out, I believe that's Romans 5, we find out. And--and He is our justification. God raised Him up on the third day, to justify our faith, that we believe it. And He raised Him up, to justify our faith. What did He do then? He sent Him back, the Justifier, because our faith believes it. The Holy Spirit, Christ, come into it, for our justification, because we have raised from death unto Life. And now we are sons and daughters of God, sitting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, justified us by His resurrection.

L-121 That give us justification, to know, with the--with the earnest of our salvation within us now, the very Life of Christ pulsating in us. And how then could we deny the Word? Which, He is the Word that gives us the... this assurance. The Holy Spirit is there. What is It? It's still that North Star, the Christ is that North Star. And the Holy Spirit is that justification that points the believer right straight to the North Star. Right.

L-122   The Holy Ghost will always point to the Word. If It points to a creed or denomination, it is not the Holy Ghost. He couldn't do that, point away from His Word, when He died to confirm that Word and make that Word a positive. Amen. He died so He could come, Himself, into that Word. He is the quickening Life that makes that Word live again. That was His purpose of dying, that He could still project Himself through His Church, and make every Word, through every age, act just exactly the way It's supposed to act.

L-123   He is the dynamics of the mechanics. The mechanics of the Church, what is it? Apostles, prophets, teachers, so forth. And He is the dynamics that works that. And it's worked by a certain dynamic which is called like... He, He is the Fire that fires off the gas. He is the Fire that's in the combustion chamber, that when the--the gas, the--the Word, is poured over that combustion chamber, He is the One that sets her afire. He is the One that confirms it. He is the power of the resurrection. He is God. He, He is the Fire, that's what He is.
