2517 The word of God most precious gift of grace....

October 18, 1942: Book 33

It is the most valuable gift which God imparts to you when He instructs you in His will, for He thereby gives you a means to acquire eternal bliss. How ignorant you would walk through life without this gift of grace.... and how little would you be able to develop yourselves upwards without the knowledge of the meaning and purpose of your embodiment on earth. And that is why you must pay attention to these gifts and utilize them as the most precious commodity; you must allow the divine word to become the guiding principle of your life; you must never listen to what the world tells you but only accept the voice of God, His word, into your hearts and live your life according to this word. Then you will also make yourselves worthy of this divine gift of grace and you will mould your soul according to God's will. His word is His grace and mercy, His word is His love and kindness, His word is His power and glory, His wisdom and His spirit. And he who receives His word cannot perish, for he must inevitably mature and develop himself upwards, and therefore the word of God is a gift of grace of immeasurable value which cannot be replaced by anything, for only through the word of God can people become blessed....

Amen
