4852 Recognizing God and faith not without love....

March 6, 1950: Book 55

You will not profess Me if you live a life without love, because then you will not be able to recognize Me either and you will not stand up for something which is doubtful to yourselves. Love alone enlightens your spirit, love alone enables you to believe in Me. But faith is only to be understood as a firm inner conviction, not words of which the heart knows nothing. Love gives birth to this firm conviction, thus faith without love will not be possible even if My existence is constantly preached to you with eloquent words. But as soon as you live in love I am in you Myself, and then you must also acknowledge Me because you feel Me, even if you are not aware of it. Then your heart will drive you to it, you will desire that I am, and therefore you will also recognize Me because I reveal Myself to those who are united with Me through love. These revelations are of different kinds but the result is always a convinced faith; then you will no longer reject Me but recognize Me and also stand up for Me in front of your fellow human beings, and all this will result in love.... If you do works of love you already make use of My strength, and you cannot deny Whose strength you use. The fundamental substance of My being is love, you, My creatures, are also made of the same substance.... If you are without love you will no longer feel anything of that elemental strength of which I am the source. Thus I am not recognizable to you either, and consequently you are not aware of Me either. Then the teaching of God is only an empty concept for you, without meaning and understanding. Only love gives you the power of realization, you now feel like a product of a powerful force which has to be a being in highest perfection.... A light has been kindled in you through love.... You will recognize and love Me, the light within you will shine ever brighter, you will mature in realization, i.e. receive profound knowledge from Me, you will try to align your nature with Mine, and you will also confess Me before the world, because love makes you strong and believing and only in this faith can you resist all people who want to shake your love for Me. Love unites you with Me and makes you My children, and then you will have achieved the aim set for you for your earthly life as a human being.... you believe in Me and love Me and now unite with Me forever....

Amen
