<TITLE>07. Par 63-71</TITLE>L-63   John 14:12, "He that believeth" Jesus said "on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Now look, "He that believeth on Me," a true believer, "the works that I do shall he do also." Notice. In other words, like this, "He that believeth on Me, shall be identified by My characteristic, the works." Now, that's what He did. He said, "If I don't do the Father's works, then don't believe Me." And the Father spoke to the prophets, and that was their characteristic, identification. So was it with Jesus. And promised it to him that believeth, "My characteristics shall do in him just as it did in Me. And if I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I do the works, and you can't believe Me, then believe the works, because it's spoken of, it must be."

L-64 He said, "Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think you have Eternal Life, and They are They that tell you Who I am." That was Jesus, see, God manifested, showing Himself. "They testify Who I am." That makes Hebrews 1:1 now, "God in sundry time spake by the prophets," clearly identifying the characteristic now of the resurrection of His Son. God spoke by the prophets then, through His Son now. The unchangeable God, the same characteristic, "The works that I do, shall you also." God, known by His identified characteristic. That's how you know.

L-65 You say, "Well, I tell you this, we sing this, we do this, and we do." That's not what I'm talking about.

L-66 I'm talking about the Word made manifest and identifying the... by it, the characteristics of the promised Word for the age.

L-67 Them Pharisees knowed that Bible as good as anybody, better than any of us clergymen know ours today. They had to live by It. Their great-great-grandfather were priests. They studied It, day and night, and they failed to see that identified Word.

L-68   Today, Luther said, "When you believe, you've got It." The Methodist say, "When you shout, you got It." The Pentecostal said, "When you spoke in tongues, you had It." We find all that wrong! Some of them said, "The fruit of the Spirit's got It." And it's wrong! The only evidence is, is when the a-vindication, when God Himself identifies Himself in the promised Word of the hour. There it is.

L-69 Who had any more fruits of the Spirit than them kind old priests, circumcised the children and blessed them, and everything else? And here this guy Jesus was, come around, kicked over their sacrifice blocks, looked upon them with anger, beat them, run them out, no identification of nothing. The Scripture is His identification! He had no fellowship card, He belonged to no organization. But God spoke of Him, that was His identification!

L-70 That's the genuine identification of God in any hour, is His identification. That's what it is, the Scriptures that's promised, made identified by the characteristic of the promise which is God, and God is the Word. And the characteristic of that promise being identified, that makes the believer. Jesus said so, and that settles it. Amen.

L-71 Notice, now we find out, the characteristics identify Him. "If..." He said, "If it doesn't do it, then don't believe Me." Now, Jesus spoke that it would identify Him.
