Them days, when they made a covenant, they would take a lamb or a beast. They’d write a covenant out, two men between them. They would write it out what it was. And then they would kill a beast. And over this beast, they would tear this thing in two. One man would take one part and one the other. And then, in order to confirm this covenant, that man had to take this same piece of paper and bring it back, and it had to perfectly…Now, here it is. It had to perfectly dovetail with the piece that was tore off from. Now, God made a Covenant with the Church. And He wrote It out—the Bible. And on the day of the atonement, God killed His Son. You believe it? Tore Him apart, and He took His body up to the right hand of His Majesty, and sent His Spirit back as a Covenant to us. And at that day, unless we have that same Holy Spirit in us, we can’t go in the Body. That’s just old sassafras preaching, but it’ll save you. That’s right. We have to have the Spirit of Christ in us, the same Spirit that come out of that Body, to make up His Body, to go back again with Him. Oh, my. That’s right. God made a Covenant with us.
