The Most Beautiful Girl in the World Part 2 – Freedom in Christ

Go with me to eternity past, where there is none but the Father, the Son, and the Spirit in a mystery, and the mystery is hidden in Christ. Before the foundation of the ages, there’s the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, a mystery, and the mystery is hidden in Christ. This is before creation, by the way. That’s in the Bible. And I ask you, how many rules did the Father put on the Son? How many standards did the Father put on the Son? How many regulations of demands of conduct did He put on the Son? And the answer to that has got to be absolutely none. It did not cross the mind of the Father to do that. All the Father had in His mind was the glorification of the Son. If there are no standards put on Christ, if there are no laws by which Jesus Christ is required to live in eternity past, if there are no regulations and there are no standards for Him in that hour, or in that day, or in that time, or in that non-time. If there are none there for Him, there are none for me, this girl. For I am in him, and I in Christ precede the law, and I precede the Christian faith, and He is free from all things, and I am nothing but in Him.

Is the Christian standard contrary to the promise? No. Goes right along with it, but boy, don’t ever make it your center. You get tied up in the Christian standard of living, and you are going to fall on your face. Now, let me tell you something, folks. I’m trying to be this little girl. See, brother, I am failing. This is what I wanted to do without doing any of this. But yeah, I’m going to come back and do this again someday without making any application.

It’s Saturday morning, and a Jew is hungry, but he can’t make any bread, and he can’t go to the store and buy any. Does he get any life out of that? If he’s standing there saying, “Oh, praise God, I’m hungry. I need some bread, but I can’t get out of the living room. I can’t get out of my house. I can’t.” Does he get any life out of that? Do you know why he doesn’t get any life out of that? Because the law is incapable of giving you divine life. Therefore, the law is incapable of making you pleasing to God because the only thing that pleases God is His own nature, and you have become partakers of His divine nature. The law cannot cause you to please God because the law cannot give you the life of the Father and the life of the Son and implant that life in you.

I’m not going to the grocery store tomorrow because it’s the Sabbath. And I’m going to stay home. It’s the Lord’s day, I’m going to go to church, but I’m not going to stop at the post office. And I’m not going to go to the grocery store. I’m just going to go home and take a nap, and I’m not going to turn on the television. And I’m not going to make any phone calls because this is my day of rest. This is the Sabbath. Now, you tell me, did you ever get any life out of that? If that produced life, then living the Christian life, do you understand this? Living the expectations of the Christian life would save you, and it cannot save you.

There is only one thing that can cause you to please God. There’s only one thing that can save you, and that is Christ, and neither the law nor conduct nor any Christian standard, none of your efforts can please God, because none of them imparts life. The only thing in this universe that imparts divine life whereby their Christian life is already lived by Him. The only thing that imparts life is Christ. And if anything else imported life, it would save you. And you are free from those things which do not impart divine life to you. I am free of all things except His life, which is free.

And to quote one of the members of me, I don’t observe times and days and seasons, and you’re under a curse when you do. You are, well, think about it. Will you think about it? Those of you who are Christian legalists, think about all the fun you have gotten out of being a Christian legalist. Think of all the joy you have had in your life by not doing a thousand things. All right, I leave it up to you. Would you rather hear this, or would you rather hear me stand here and talk to you about how many souls you need to save? And are you going to go into God’s presence empty-handed? And have you really prayed today? And how much holiness have you really practiced today? Take your choice, brother.

One of them is Christ, who is free, and the other one is a curse. I’m speaking from personal experience. For I was a slave, and my Lord came and set me free not only from my chains, but He set me free from everything. Absolutely everything. I’m going to go down to verse 25 for the point of emphasis.

Trusting in Jesus Christ has nullified my tutor. I got saved. Let me let the girl speak. I started in the spirit. I started with nothing but trusting Him, which pleased God, and someone came and taught me what I needed to do as a Christian. And I tried that, and I fell on my face. And you know what it did? You know what trying to live the Christian life did for me? What did it do for you? You tell me. What did it do? I came right back to where I was, that I was pleasing Him just by having taken Him and nothing more. And trying to live the Christian life drove me back to my Lord, and I’m not leaving there again. Not for nobody. Praise the Lord. And those of you who do not agree with anything I’ve said, all I can ask you to do is get more religious. And remember that every day you get up and live by your Christian standard, that is what God will demand of you, and He will judge you by that. And if the Lord’s going to judge you between that or Christ, I know where I’m going to stand. I’m going to be judged by Christ.

You see, I am simply a daughter. I am as much, and this is true, I am as much a daughter of God as my Lord is the Son of God. I’m going to repeat that, I am as much a daughter of God as Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And I’m looking over at the Son of God, and I am noticing that He is free, and I am looking at me, and I am a daughter of God.

Truly, you can say that I am by adoption, or I am genetically a what’s the term we use in the law? I am a biological daughter of God, and I refute the very Christ who saved me and who is going to marry me when I conduct myself in any way separate from the way the Son of God does, and He is free in His Father. I, as a daughter of God, must remain free from all things as is my Lord.

Now, would you listen to this? I live in Galatia. My home is Iconium, and one day He came to me, a gentile slave, and God plunged me into Christ. He literally took me and plunged me into Christ and I can’t get out.
