3991 Fulfilment of the divine will - fulfilment of the commandment of love....

March 5, 1947: Book 49

The fulfilment of My will is always to be understood as the fulfilment of My commandment of love, for this includes everything I demand of you humans. If you seriously consider My constant request to love your neighbour as yourselves, you will recognize every action which is not right according to My will as wrong, because it harms your neighbour physically or spiritually. Love must always be the basic principle of your thoughts and actions, then you will never violate My commandment of love. And you will respect your neighbour's possessions, his honour, you will treat him as a brother and not try to harm him in body and soul. Hence love is the greatest commandment, and I always and constantly preach it, for you humans care for it so little and thereby easily fall prey to the one who is without love and also tries to stifle it in you in order to separate you from Me. And therefore you also ignore My commandments, you try to increase your possessions at the expense of your neighbour, you try to gain all attractions from earthly life, and this often by using means which lack all love for your fellow human being.... Thus you go against My commandment, you don't live according to My will. And then you will never be able to reach your aim.... merging with Me through love. For I only gave you the commandment of love in order to show you the path on which you can come to unity with Me. My commandment applies in particular to those who stand apart from Me, for the one who strives towards Me does not need a commandment, he will never act against My will because the spark of love has already been kindled in him, otherwise the desire for Me would not fill him. But anyone who is still devoid of all love needs My commandment so that he can measure his actions and thoughts by it, and thus he is given guidelines so that he recognizes when and how he sins against love, and he will have certain success if he keeps My commandment of neighbourly love in mind in everything he thinks and does. He will respect his neighbour's property, he will try to keep all harm away from him, he will regard him spiritually and earthly as a brother, and thus if he shows love towards his neighbour he will also love Me, for the fulfilment of My will towards the neighbour also results in an increase in knowledge. I will no longer be a stranger to him and he will seek to make contact with the being Which created him. For love alone provides him with light, and therefore the commandment of love is the only and greatest one which makes My will known....

Amen
