Quotes used in the sermon "Gace before Law"
GALATIANS 3:16
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to
seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
GALATIANS 3:17
17 And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in
Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul,
that it should make the promise of none effect.
GALATIANS 3:18
18 For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of promise: but God
gave [it] to Abraham by promise.

234-433 Now, we're closing. Then Brother Neville will pick up where I leave off
here. All right:
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ,
the law, which was four hundred year... four hundred and thirty years after,
cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of non effect.
That's the promise God give Abraham,
before the law ever come into existence.
For if the... for if inheritance be of the law, it is no more of the promise:
but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Not by nothing you do, not by any laws, any laws of your church, by joining
church, or any other law; it's absolutely a grace act of God to you. There you
are. Watch.

E-30 Now, who could be saved by the law? No one could be saved by the law. The
law didn't come to save us. The law was to magnify our sins, to point them out
to us. And listen, to you legalist believers, I want to ask you something:
There's not one thing you can do to be saved in yourself. No sir.
You are saved by grace and that
alone, and you have nothing to do with it. God chose you in Christ before the
foundation of the world. That's right.
There's not one thing you can do to merit. So you keep all the commandments you
want to, join all the churches you want to, you're still lost. You might know
your catechism, say Hail Mary's. You might know the Apostles Creed, the
Doxology; you might know all the doctrine of the Bible. But to know the Bible is
not Life. To know the church creed is not Life. But to know Him is Life. Alone
to know Him... You might be baptized this way, that way, this way, that way, or
sprinkled, poured, whatever it may be; you're still lost until you know Him. To
know Him is Life. The church in its condition...

E-41 Let's look at Moses. Moses represented the law. No man can keep the law.
And no flesh is justified by the law. I'm glad that it's not good works that we
have done, but it's by His grace, by His mercy, by His foreknowledge,
that He foreknew us before the
foundation of the world. Amen. And then I couldn't be saved by law.
You can't be saved by law. So if the law was weak and could not do, God in due
time sent His Son made after the likeness of sinful, by a woman born under the
law, that He might redeem us from the curse of the law. So Moses--God shut him
off.

JEFF.IN HEB SUNDAY_ 57-0915M
264-597 Not eating meats, and doing this, and perfecting the body, you'll never
have it. And you've got to quit this,
and do this, and do this, and do this, that's law. That's legalist. We don't
believe in the legal forms of salvation. We believe it "by grace are we saved."
And it's not you; you have nothing to do with it; it's God's election that does
it. "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him." That's right.
And He... All Jesus come to do was to get these that the Father foreknew and
predestinated them before the foundation of the world to become sons and
daughters of God. Amen. "Not him that runneth or him that willeth, but God that
showeth mercy." It's God that does it. You can't brag at all. There's not a
thing that you did; God, by grace, saved you, not you, yourself. If you do, you
got something to brag about. But you haven't nothing to brag. All praises goes
to Him. It's Him. Then He's give you this sure hope, swore by an oath, the
impossibility for His children to ever be lost.

318-163 The law, the legalist (See?), "Aw, you have to do this. If you don't do
this, you're not a Christian. And if you don't keep the sabbath. If you don't...
If you eat meat. If you do these things," all these legal ideas. "You've got to
go to church. If you don't, you pay a penalty for it. You have to do a novena."
That stuff is nonsense.
You're saved
by the grace of God, by the foreknowledge of God, by His predestination. God
called Abraham by predestination, by foreknowledge. He called... He hated Esau
and loved Jacob before either one was born. That's right. It's--it's God's
foreknowledge that knows these things.

E-7 When we accept Him as Saviour, we must also accept Him as Healer, as our
Peace, as our Shield, as our Banner, all these redemptive Names, God's present
attitude is to His people now the same.
Now, I think myself, that God has done just about all that there is to be done.
Now, first He put the Old Testament for types. He sent the law, then He sent
prophets to back up the law. The law was for the whole nation. The prophet was
to show the supernatural.
The law was
the letter, letter of the law. But the prophet was a supernatural sign.
And what He did for Israel, He does for the Church.

20-2 Then He said one day, "Except
you eat the flesh of the Son of man, drink His blood, you have no life in you."
He didn't explain it. Those apostles and them of that day who was
ordained to Life, He knowed it. Said, "All the Father has given Me will come.
Only thing He had to do was just make My voice known; they know it. For My sheep
know My voice." And a voice is the Word expressed. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...
they'd believe it, anyhow. They don't have to scientifically prove anything or
ask any Sadducee or Pharisee or anything else about it. "I said it; they believe
it. For My sheep hear My voice." And This is the voice of God in letter form,
because This is the entire revelation of Jesus Christ: Old and New Testament put
together. Amen. There you are.

33 It's an old familiar text that many of your pastors has used down through
your time. It's been used since It was written. But yet, one thing about the
Word of God, It never grows old, because It's God. It never grows old. Through
every generation now for pretty near, about twenty-eight hundred years or
better, this Word of God has been read by men, priests, and so forth, and never
does It grow old. I've been reading It myself for some thirty-five years. And
each time I read It, I find something new that I looked over the first time.
Because It is inspired. It is God in letter form. See, It's the attributes of
God speaking fore--forth and is placed on paper.

9 We're here in service of the Lord this morning, knowing that--that--that we
believe God, that we believe that He'll make everything just exactly right.
Regardless of what it is and how it works out, we know it's got to work for
good. He promised that. It's just got to be that way. Sometimes we can't
understand that, gets very complicated at times, but yet we know that it's the
truth, 'cause the Bible says it's the truth. And the Bible to us is God in
letter form.
Now, we got to place our faith somewhere. And if--if I--any of us in life tried
to make a success in life and become many times a multimillionaire... But what
are we going to do with that? We got to come down at the end of the road and
what--what good is it to us then? See? And money is a--a scrip; it's an
exchange; but you can't exchange it for Life. Only God has Life.
