4691 Man's life task....

July 17, 1949: Book 54

I will use whatever can help you to become blessed, for the spiritual adversity is great which is caused by your unbelief. Yet I want you to learn to believe, I want you to let go of all doubts, I want you to become enlightened, I want you to recognize Me, I want you to perceive My guidance, I want you to join Me, I want you to see in Me your father Who cares for you and wants to promote your spiritual well-being.... It is your task in life to attain the realization of your original nature, your aim and your destiny. But you can only gain this knowledge through faith, otherwise you will remain eternally lightless, thus ignorant. And true knowledge can only be gained through faith which comes alive through love, that is, if you believe in Me as a supremely perfect being then the love for Me will awaken in you and you will try to become like Me in My fundamental nature, thus you will strive for perfection. But only a person who strives to be good can become perfect. Therefore he must live in love.... Through this faith comes alive, i.e. becomes the innermost conviction.

Only a living faith strives for contact with Me, which means that the spiritual spark, which rests as My share in every person's soul, unites with the eternal father-spirit, thus the person's thoughts are meant for Me and he now speaks to Me in spirit and in truth, praying to Me. Then it becomes light in him, because he is lovingly active at the same time as the mental connection, driven from within by My spirit, which, because it is My share, tells the human being to do what I Myself do.... work in love.... And love is the key to wisdom, the light of knowledge which is kindled in him increases in brightness, the thoughts move in truth, from within he is now instructed by My spirit, which means that every thought in him becomes the innermost conviction, that he thinks logically and can and will also represent his now mentally gained knowledge to his fellow human being as truth.

You humans should come to this realization, to the truth from Me, during your earthly life, for this knowledge will determine your conduct of life which is good, thus pleasing to Me. Then you will have fulfilled your task in life, and you will have moved from the stage of ignorance at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being into the stage of realization, always in contact with Me, Who may never ever be excluded, thus I must work together with you if spiritual success is to be assured. You humans can reach this aim if only you seriously want to. And I help everyone because he alone is too weak-willed to strive for this aim. I guide people into his path who shall give him the impetus for inner self-examination so that the process can begin of its own free will which turns the still dead, powerless spiritual being into a creature striving for perfection which, in contact with Me, can reach the highest aim.... to become a child of God, as is its destiny....

Amen
