5874 Unredeemed souls.... recognition of Jesus Christ....

February 10, 1954: Book 64

Countless souls on earth are still unredeemed, that is, they have not yet attained the graces through Jesus Christ which set them free from the power of God's adversary. These people are still outside of those for whom Jesus Christ died on the cross, and they are therefore outside because they do not acknowledge Him as God's son and redeemer of the world, because they know nothing about the significance of the act of salvation, because Jesus Christ is no more to them than a historical person who is regarded as the founder of a religion which was made by human beings to be so.... They mention His name without any certainty that He is the saviour for every individual person from a pitiable state which the soul will only recognize at its demise. People all know Him.... Yet only a few believe in Him as the one Who has made a spiritual transformation on earth possible.... Who therefore may not be ignored by those who want a spiritual change, a spiritual progress.... who believe that they do not go through earthly life without a purpose.... These therefore must find their way to Jesus Christ, otherwise they will not fulfil the purpose on earth.... And the significance of the act of salvation can still be made understandable to them as long as they are willing to live earthly life in accordance with its purpose. They will not completely reject what is given to them as enlightenment, they will think about it and be more willing than people for whom earthly life is only an end in itself. These find no connection with Jesus Christ because they reject everything.... a life after death, a spiritual earthly task, a human being's weakness and deficiency due to the fall of man, a perfection to be achieved and thus also a helper Who makes this becoming perfect possible.... And for these people there is also no salvation, no ascent.... They will sink ever deeper into the abyss, into the hands of the one who, as God's adversary, will also work against Jesus Christ and His act of salvation with all means and who therefore deprives people of all light about it, who will do everything to prevent the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation and to strengthen people's belief in earthly life as an end in itself. And he will also succeed, because these people only live in selfish love and therefore any illumination through the spirit is impossible.... whereas the former.... people who strive for perfection can also develop love within themselves and thereby mentally take paths which can lead to the right realization of the problem of Jesus Christ.... The divine mission of the man Jesus must be recognized and acknowledged so that the divine redeemer will also be called upon for help, so that the graces He acquired through His crucifixion will be given to the human being and he can make use of them.... And already the will to receive information about Jesus Christ, Who cannot be denied as a historical person, will not be accepted if it is not desired to be answered negatively.... will lead the human being one step further, because God gives light to every human being who desires light, and because everyone should find the path to Him, which, however, only goes via Jesus Christ....

Amen
