57 We, poor, aliens, nothing we could do. If we kept every sabbath, every new moon, quit eating meat, if we kept all kinds of days and done all kinds of religious sacrifice, we are under a load. We are sold in sin. Our parent sold us out, to sin, in the garden of Eden. And we are laden under the bonds of sin, as a slave to the devil. “We were born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies.” There is nothing we can do to help us, ’cause our whole make-up, our whole nature, and everything we are, is sin.
58 But when the jubilee time come, that we are free! And the Trumpet is the Gospel, the good news. The trumpet was the Gospel then, good news. You’re no longer bound. You no longer have to live in sin. You can go home and be free. You don’t owe any debts at all. The whole emancipation of proclamation is done signed, and you are free.
59 And, today, when a man hears the good news, “Christ died in your stead; nothing that you can do about it. Christ paid the price,” the Gospel sounds.
60 You can drop every cigarette, every chew to***co, every whiskey bottle, every—every thing that’s binding you, and say, “I am free. This is the good news, Christ hath made me free.” You are a free people. You don’t have to go any longer. You don’t have to serve the devil any longer. You can be free if you desire to be free. Now you don’t have to drink. You don’t have to run around. You don’t have to mistreat your wife. You don’t have to curse. You don’t have to lie. You don’t have to steal. You don’t have to be weary. Why, you got the resources, up yonder, that’s never been tapped, of the bountiful blessings of God, that the world knows nothing about.
