0728 Love the antithesis of evil power.... partition.... word of God is life....

December 30, 1938: Book 15

As the number of those to whom my word is accessible increases, the adversary loses power, because everything that lives in my word also stands in love.... And love is the antithesis of the activity of darkness. Anyone who therefore lives in love is inaccessible to the evil forces.... He erects an insurmountable partition between himself and the evil power and is protected against all attacks from this side, because the power of love is considerably stronger and cannot be overcome by the power of hatred. The stronger the will to love is, the more alive faith will be, and in the acceptance of God's word every deed is blessed, for only the energetic adherence to My teaching is the surest weapon against everything that comes from below. My word is and has been from eternity.... To stand in My word is to live.... but the power of evil is ruin and death. Therefore, whoever hears My word and acts accordingly must live for eternity. And anyone who seeks the same power in works of neighbourly love will likewise recognize God, for he is already absorbed in Me through deeds of love. He fulfils the conditions of life who makes love his first principle.... For he has truly chosen the best part, that he stands in the power of divine love and at the same time is immune to the all-destructive opposing power. Man loses all fear of death when love is active in him, for his spirit awakens to life and he has found the bridge to the beyond. How should death still be able to frighten him then, since he already dwells in the spheres of light before.... how should he fear death, since he has eternal life within himself.... since he escaped the power which wanted his destruction and was thus given back to life. Everything that is love is eternal.... but that which does not bear divine love within itself is perishable....

Amen
