41 And when God was going to take the life of the whole world, and destroy it, and all the sinners, and condemned to die, Christ died for us all. And God could not cross over Christ, being His Own Son. And then Jesus gave Himself freely, that He might pay the way then if… Moses couldnt have done that. Moses had no blood but human blood, like we are. So, therefore, his blood would not be, it would not suffice. But Jesus being the Blood of God Himself, the creative Blood of God, God just excused the entire human race then, of sin, because it was all laid upon Him. And He went to Calvary and died out, of the Presence of God, and suffered. And was cast into hell, because that He was sin, made our sins upon Him. And there being our—our burden bearer, took our sins to—to Calvary, and from Calvary to hell; and God raised Him up on the third day, for a propitiation of our sins. 42 And today He is the only mediator between God and man, and were freely pardoned and forgiven. God dont even know we ever sinned. Our sins were put in the Sea of Forgetfulness, never to be remembered no more. We cannot do that ourself; we are finite. He is infinite. And our finite, we can still remember, because were not big enough. But He is so great that He even forgets we ever did sin. We are sons and daughters, in His Presence. And all things that He was, we are. He become my sin, that I might become His righteousness. He become your sin, that your… He… you might become His righteousness. So God cannot see no sin in you as long as your confession is in Christ Jesus. 43 Someone said, sometime ago, said, If I believed a thing like that, would I ever turn on the steam! Id paint the town red. Id go to every dance hall. Id get so drunk, and everything, because,… Why? Youre already secured in Christ. What difference does it make? 44 I said, That shows you havent got it. See? If the love of God ever struck your heart, in the tenderness of Jesus Christ, you would be so in love with Him, the world would be dead, as your sin. Thats how you know you have the Holy Spirit. Not because that you could scream, shout, speak, or tongues, or whatever it is. But when sin becomes dead, and youre alive in Jesus Christ. Oh, love of God, how rich, how pure! See? 45 Now here in Louisville, Kentucky, not long ago, a minister was talking, that there was a—a young lady. She had waited a little long in life to be married, somewhere around her twenty-five, thirty years old. And she was a fine, staunch Christian girl. And there was a certain man in Louisville that wasnt; he hadnt lived such a good life. He had run to dances and roadhouses, and so forth, but one day he found pardon for his sin and he—he become a real Christian, real staunch Christian. About a year later, he fell in love with this young lady, and the young lady madly fell in love with him. And they were married. 46 And after they lived together about two years, they said that this young lady said to her husband one day, she said, Dear, I suppose thats kind of hard for you, just a new Christian, said, Ive been a Christian since a little girl. But said, For you, a young Christian, to have to stand all the—the—the wiles and temptations that goes with it after you—youve sinned so long. And he said, Well, it does become a battle. 47 She said, I want you to remember one thing, that if the enemy does upset you somewhere, and you fall and you go back into sin, dont stay away from home. I want you come on home. Said, Youre going to find at home the same wife that you married. And said, Ill help you to pray back, and pray through, and get back to God again. Said, I—I—I—I dont want you to stay away. Said, Look, I married you upon the basis not of what you were, but I married you because I loved you. And she said, No matter what you do, I still love you. I married you because I loved you. 48 And the man that day went to work, was heard repeating it in a… the place where he was working. He said, Now, how could a man do anything wrong against something like that? When a woman, that loves him so much that, no matter what he did, was willing to come back and take him again, and try it again. See? It shows… Now, you multiply that by a billion and then you have some idea of what the love of God is. See? 49 That when a man falls in love with Jesus Christ, the things of the world… When you think of what He did for you in the Light of the Scripture, not in the light of some emotion, but in the light of facts, what it is, then there is something happens in you. When the new Birth comes, the sin is dead as midnight. When as long as that Light is in you, how can darkness shine? It cannot do it. Thats what God did to one man who throwed hisself in the gap, that could take the promise. And Moses being a—a type of this Antitype, thats why Moses stood in the gap for the people. 63-0623M - Standing In The Gap Rev. William Marrion Branham
