Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Property Laws of a Toddler
1. If I like it, it’s mine.
2. If it’s in my hand, it’s mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
5. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks just like mine, it’s mine.
8. If I saw it first, it’s mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it’s broken, it’s yours. - Deb Lawrence

How do toddlers learn this? They don’t have to, they are human.
Why We Are Broken.
Why We Are Broken.
All Humanity is identified with Adam in the Fall.
(Nothing should shock us)
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.
Not only are we Adam’s seed but the seed of the serpent was injected into the human race, and since the flood every person is born naturally the same.
Well, all of us being brethren, Adam our first father sold us into slavery of sin, nothing we had to do with it.
When you’re borned in this world, you are a sinner when you’re borned. The Bible said, “We’re borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies.”
When you’re born without Christ you haven’t even got a chance: Nothing you can help; you were sold by our father, Adam. Adam sold the human race out. And by nature…
I know there’s a teaching going around that—up in my country and different parts of the country, that if a little baby’s borned of a Holy Ghost parent, the baby’s saved, and if it’s borned of a sinful parents, and it dies, then it’s lost. Oh, brother, if that ain’t tommyrot. 55-0311 - The Seal Of The Antichrist
All human beings are born with shackles of sin, and they cannot be free by their own efforts or their parents.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
They knew their natural lineage wasn’t serpents seed. They could prove it.
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Even babies are only saved before the day of accountability because of the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
But I’m elect. Do you know how election works?
Bro. Branham taught us that the Bride doesn’t go through the Tribulation.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
When a woman lays out a piece of goods, lays her pattern upon it, the way she is going to cut it, and she has got her own way of making a choice.
But what is left out of that pattern is the same kind of goods that was in the pattern, but it was ordained for her to take this. She fixed it herself.
God did the same. “And the remnant of the woman’s seed that was left upon the earth.” Today is the calling-out of the Bride out of the church, the exodus, for the Rapture.
For, the church truly goes through the Tribulation period, as you Pentecostal brothers has preached it. I believe that. The church goes through it, but not the Bride. No, sir! 63-1128E - The Token
You are the same cloth as the Foolish Virgin.
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
The flesh is all the same. Why do we then get our feelings hurt when sinners act like sinners?
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
2. How We Are Healed.
2. How We Are Healed.
We are by nature servants to sin, but the serpents head has been bruised.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
We are free from sin today because sin has been judged.
Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, And as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: And we hid as it were our faces from him; He was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, And carried our sorrows: Yet we did esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: The chastisement of our peace was upon him; And with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned every one to his own way; And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, Yet he opened not his mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: And who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: For the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, And with the rich in his death; Because he had done no violence, Neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
The serpents seed was bruised in His body.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
He was lifted up for us.
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Look and Live!
This makes forgiveness a lot easier.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
They should have known, but sin.
And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
How could God forgive David? How could God forgive Paul? How could He forgive Israel?
And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Paul pled ignorance for himself.
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
How did you come to do this? You were deceived into it by your first marriage, to your adulterous parent, Eve. It’s no fault of your own.
By your natural birth, you come after Eve, who committed adultery. That’s the reason you was born an adulteress. You’re a sinner, to begin with. That’s right. You was deceived into it. You had no…No, you, it ain’t your fault.
You never did it. Because, that little germ that was in you, was to be you, before the foundation of the world. God put your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. 65-1125 - The Invisible Union Of The Bride Of Christ
Why are we broken? Because of the unrighteous blood of the first Adam. How are we healed? By the righteous blood of the 2nd Adam.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Many will be saved because of the fall.
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Now we are healed.
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
And that’s the law that Christians must live by. Is not what we do ourself, but what He has done for us. Christ has already been sacrificed. Not, “He will be.” He has been! It’s a finished product.
He lived, died, rose again, ascended into Heaven, has come back in the form of the Holy Ghost. So, it’s a finished work, with God. Christ, knowing no sin, became my sin; that I might stand in His place, He took my place.
I was in Him, at Calvary, when He died. There I must die with Him, to live. Because the law of sin and death is in the body, you have to die, to be reconciled to Him.

Conclusion.
Conclusion.
When I die with Him, I then take on His lamb nature.
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
Can we do that tonight?
