5035 Process of development to perfection.... Jesus Christ....

January 7, 1951: Book 57

All things press towards the perfection.... An eternal law will be fulfilled and the power and glory of God will be revealed. A work of redemption is taking place over an infinitely long period of time which you humans cannot even begin to comprehend but which nevertheless justifies all becoming and passing away, all creating and existing, because it is a matter of making imperfections perfect, of returning the power once emanating from God back to the original power.... to shape what has become ungodly of its own free will back into divinity as it was in the beginning. This transformation, the attainment of the original state, requires an endlessly long path. But God's love and wisdom recognized from eternity both the necessity and the means to achieve the aim.... And thus His plan of salvation has been determined since eternity, according to which countless periods of development serve to bring the imperfect spiritual substance, which once fell away from Him, back to perfection. Infinitely great is His power, unsurpassable His wisdom and inexpressibly deep His love for that which He has created.... This overwhelming love determines Him to make new attempts at salvation again and again when the spiritual resists God through its own will and threatens to fail on the path upwards. Then He ends one redemption period, so to speak, in order to let a new one begin. He is a God of love but also of justice, He cannot withdraw His love from any being, yet the strength of love diminishes in the beings which resist Him, otherwise free will would be in danger. And therefore it is an exceedingly lengthy process which shall bring the imperfect to perfection.... it can take eternities but it can also be completed in a short time with the success of the spiritual being's complete divinization, which inevitably has to take this path of development in order to reach God again as its origin.

All of you humans are such spiritual beings destined for perfection, you have all travelled the path and still have to go further until you reach the aim of being reunited with God. This path can be very long for you, yet as soon as you yourselves desire to give yourselves to God as the recognized father and creator of eternity, you already cover the last stretch of the path.... You are on the verge of perfection, for your will of resistance has been broken, the cause of your apostasy from God. God as the eternal love will not let you fall, no matter how much you are in sin; but you yourselves are walking a dreadful path as long as you wade in sin. And therefore you must call upon Him to lift you up out of an abyss which makes it difficult for you to ascend.... you must be free from a burden of sin which presses you to the ground and makes the path of ascent impossible for you, you must shake off your burden of sin and, because this is not possible for you alone, call upon your saviour, Jesus Christ, Who takes your sins upon His shoulders and adds them to humanity's great guilt of sin for which He died on the cross. You must call upon Him.... for He alone is your salvation, He alone helps you to perfection.... One day you will truly stand above in the light, but how long you need to do so is for you to decide. Alone you will never reach the aim, but with Jesus Christ you will reach it very quickly.... It is He Who has bridged the deep gulf between you and God, it is He Who helps all people to attain perfection and Who can still save in the last hour those who faithfully call upon Him for help. That is why He calls to all sinners to come to Him, to free themselves from their guilt in order to easily cover the path of ascent. He is close to everyone who acknowledges Him, who believes in Him and prays to Him in his adversity. He wants to be the redeemer for everyone, He wants to show every person the path, He wants to bring the truth to everyone so that everyone will find eternal life before a period of redemption comes to an end which signifies spiritual death for all who have not found their way to Him, to Jesus Christ....

Amen
