THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_
SHP.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_ 65-1125
223 Now, your old book is gone, with your old
union. Now, your name in your old, in your... has been
transferred. Now, you say, "Do you mean to tell me that
my old book..." God put it in the Sea of His
Forgetfulness. You stand perfectly before God.
224 Now, your name is now in the new Book; not
the book of life, but the Lamb's Book of Life, what the
Lamb redeemed. Not the old book of your natural union,
but your new, Bride. Hallelujah! Your new life
is in the Lamb's Book of Life, your marriage
certificate, hallelujah, where your true Eternal germ,
from the beginning, takes hold. Now you're not only
forgiven, but you're justified. Glory!
"Justified," Romans 5:1 said. Yeah. Romans 5:1 said,
"Therefore being justified by faith." 225 Look up the word.
The word
don't mean forgiven. The word means justified.
It don't mean you're forgiven.
-------------------------
Did you just hear what the prophet told us? There is
a huge difference between forgiveness and justification.
-------------------------- 226 For instance, you heard I got drunk
and--and done some evil things, and everything. Then you
come around, say to me. You found out I didn't do them,
then you come around, say, "Brother Branham, I forgive
you." Forgive me? I didn't do it, at the first
place. See? 227 Now, if I did do it, I'm guilty.
But you could forgive me, and I wouldn't be guilty. But
yet I'm not justified, because I actually done it.
--------------------------
Oh My! If I've been justified then I NEVER ACTUALLY
DONE IT! Now, don't take away from what is being said
here. Don't let the devil feed you a line that the flesh
did it but your spirit didn't do it. The scripture says
that the soul that sinneth shall die. Your body didn't
sin. Your soul sinned and your body just reflected it.
No, when you are justified in this day it is not in type
or shadow like it was in Luther's day it is in
manifestation! You truly stand a new creation of God!
God's 'thought seed' of you that was planted long ago
has sprung to Life!
--------------------------- 228 But the word, justified, is though
you never done it. Amen. It's not even regarded, at all.
How is it done? In God's Book of the Sea of
Forgetfulness, your old book and marriage is divorced
and dead. It's not even in the memories of God. Amen.
You are justified. "Therefore being justified." It was
accused.
You was accused. You never done it, in
the first place. The old union is in the Sea of
God's Forgetfulness. You wasn't married to it,
to begin with. He, the Bridegroom, bore your
shame, Himself, for you, in your place. He took your
place, for you were predestinated for Him, to be in His
Bride, before the foundation of the world. The Bible
said so. You are the predestinated Seed.

88 You can't repent for what Adam done. You never done
it; Adam did. You just get forgiveness for what you
done. The old nature is still there. -------------------------- So, Adam stepping down and going with Eve, sold mankind
into slavery and caused every man to be born with that
old nature. And you can get forgiveness for what you do
with that old soul but the old soul will still be there.
That old soul or nature has to die in order to remove
the curse that Adam brought on us through our natural
birth. Then you realize you are truly
justified and never sinned in the first place. It
doesn't matter how much of this physical world can still
testify that there was another you one time that was a
sinner, it doesn't matter, you never sinned!
Next time we'll find out why it's so important to know
that you never sinned and that you have been given the
Righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Oh
my, He bought us more than forgiveness, He completely
erased time!!! He destroyed our old book in the Sea of
Forgetfulness and started reading from the Lambs Book
of Life!!!
