much as | blame a lot of NUTS who
call themselves preachers.
Now, it stands for redemption. We
are not redeemed with %corruptible
things such as silver and gold, but
by the precious blood of Christ. You
are not redeemed by your culture,
your philanthropy, your education.
We are redeemed by the blood of
Christ.
You Must
Accept Christ
Now, listen! Redemption is more
than salvation. When Jesus died on
the cross He redeemed mankind, the
price was paid for everybody, but
! everybody won't be saved. And the
doctrine of universal salvation in an
Internal lie. 1t crawied out of the pit
of hell. While everybody has been
redeemed, everybody won't be saved,
but redemption will avail you nothing
if you refuse and reject Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ died for every saloon
keeper and every thug and every muir
derer and prostitute. He died for all
and redeemed all, but all will not be
saved for all will not accept the re-
demption. They will go to hell.
So. redemption is more than sal
walton. While redemption was for
everybody, salvation is only for those
who will accept redemption. So sal
walton is not universal. 1t will be if
everybody will accept redemption.
They all can be saved if they will.
The vilest sinner has been redeemed.
Redeem means buy back, and SO we
have been bought back.
Christ Made
Possible Salvation.
Now, then, if you had something
that belonged to me and could prove
that Jesus Christ redeemed us when
He died on the cross, and you would
not give it to me | could go down to
the courthouse and make you do it.
| can prove you are a thief, you are
Withholding from God what rightfully
belongs to Him by virtue of purchase
with the blood of His only begotten
Son, and | am glad to put my fist un-
der your nose and tell you you are an
old thief. You are not a man, you
haven't got a spark of ~womanhood, OF
manhood in you. if you haven't got
what Jesus Christ paid for in His own
blood.
