5986 Redeemer work of Jesus Christ....

June 27, 1954: Book 65

My act of salvation has been accomplished for all times, for all people who have to walk the path through earthly life, for all unredeemed spiritual beings which need the grace of My act of salvation in order to become free from My adversary's bondage. One human being made the sacrifice of atonement for the whole of humanity.... He made the atoning sacrifice for the great sin of the spiritual's turning away from Me.... He paid the debt with His life.... He died on the cross. And whether the process of spiritualizing human beings still takes an endless amount of time.... whether countless periods of development are necessary in order to let the spiritual come to its final maturity.... Everything embodied as a human being has the opportunity to reach its aim precisely through Jesus Christ's help, through His inexhaustible measure of grace, which people only need to make use of in order to receive strength to liberate themselves from the adversary's power. Previously My adversary's might and power was so great that people were unable to offer him any resistance.... But Jesus Christ broke his power through His death on the cross and provided people with the strength to defeat him who avail themselves of His grace, who acknowledge Jesus Christ as God's son and redeemer of the world, in Whom I embodied Myself because I wanted to help you humans. The great spiritual adversity on earth need not be, it could be lifted by you humans yourselves because the means are at your disposal through the divine redeemer.... Yet as long as you don't use them, as long as you don't draw strength from Him, you are weak and incapable and therefore in greatest spiritual adversity. And you strengthen My adversary's power again.... Don't believe that you can ever become free by any other means, and don't believe that your physical death will end everything.... The fetters My adversary has forged around you keep you mercilessly imprisoned even after your physical death, and only the one Who defeated him through His death on the cross can loosen them.... only Jesus Christ can release them.... And if you don't acknowledge Him, if you don't call upon Him, you will still remain in bondage for eternities, yet you will always and again have the opportunity to turn to Jesus Christ, for His act of salvation not only applies to the present but also to the past and the future.... All people who have to travel the path on earth can draw from His fountain of grace and recover, i.e. become free from the enemy of their souls.... They need only hand themselves over to Him Who is also Lord over satan, Who has overcome him. But they must hand themselves over to Him, otherwise they will remain eternally unfree.... eternally in that power, eternally in torment and darkness.... But it is up to you humans when you take refuge in Him who has redeemed you.... You are free, and you can hand yourselves over to Him immediately, but also only in eternity.... You can soon obtain bliss but also remain blissfully unhappy for an infinitely long time.... But once you have to submit yourselves to Him, and whenever you do so His treasure of grace will always be at your disposal, for He Who redeemed the world from sin died on the cross for all people. No human being who wants to escape death and rise to life can pass Him by.... for only through Jesus Christ can a person become blessed....

Amen
