3562 Genuine christianity.... love alone redeems....

September 29, 1945: Book 45

The unchristian spirit rules people, self-love is greater than ever and neighbourly love has sunk to a minimum, and spiritual decline is the inevitable consequence of this. And as long as people suffer from it they are under satan's power and rage against Me. And I cannot help them because they withdraw from My strength and My influence through their conduct of life and take a path which leads away from Me into the abyss, into darkness. But I am the light and anyone who shuns Me will never reach the aim. But I preach love through My word, I demand that people live in true christianity, that they stand by their neighbour as a brother and act towards their neighbour as brothers. I demand christian thinking and christian action if My strength of love is to become effective and facilitate people's path which leads to Me, to the right aim. But where unkindness prevails My help cannot be expected, for there My adversary steps in and supports people with his strength.... he also helps them in earthly adversity, yet only in order to completely win over their souls, for his help will only ever demand unkind actions, and through such the human being will reduce his adversity and thus place himself ever more under the control of the one who is devoid of all love. Yet you humans can only redeem yourselves through love, and thus unkind actions also signify bondage under satan's power, they signify a lack of freedom of will and beyond powerlessness and darkness. As long as people do not observe My commandment of love they are outside My kingdom, they are not under My rule but choose My adversary as their lord, and he truly does not prepare a blissful fate for them. As long as people do not observe My commandment of love they will lose My love and My help, they will drift inexorably towards the abyss, for without My love and My grace there is only ruin but no beatitude....

Amen
