6307 Salvation only through Jesus Christ....

July 9, 1955: Book 68

It is not impossible for a person to release himself from the bondage which was his fate due to his past apostasy from Me, for through My death on the cross you can put yourselves in possession of strength which you completely lacked before, and you can resist what was impossible for you before. You humans do not understand the significance of My act of salvation, and words alone are not enough if you yourselves do not mentally deal with why this act of salvation was so necessary for you, why a human being had to die so that you became free, so that you could draw strength for your redemption.... You do not understand that I have only created an opportunity for you to reach the former height, to take the place again which you once voluntarily gave up.... You yourselves, in your imperfect state, cannot measure how you used to be, but you can achieve it again, to enter the original state.... precisely through My act of salvation, because I Myself atoned for the great offence against Me through My death on the cross by suffering unspeakably for you as a human being and dying an exceedingly painful death.... Admittedly, you still remain bound as long as you oppose the act of salvation, for as long as you don't accept a gift of grace offered to you by My love you are completely unable to liberate yourselves, you remain without strength and without light in the power of the one from whom I want to liberate you. But the strength can only be received from Me Myself, and therefore you must also acknowledge Me as the one Who brings you redemption from your sin and the ensuing death.... But as soon as you acknowledge the redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself in order to redeem the guilt of sin for you, it will be easy for you to free yourselves from My adversary, for now I can impart strength and grace to you in the richest measure.... You need not doubt for a moment that you will become free, for I have already purchased this deliverance for you through My blood, which I shed for you.... Thus My adversary can no longer hold you back if you want to break away from him. He has lost his power over you as soon as you turn to Me in Jesus Christ.... as soon as you place yourselves under My cross and thereby confess that you are and want to remain My own for eternity. This will can awaken in you because I died to strengthen your will, because I acquired for you what My adversary withholds from you.... strengthening of the will.... For the will alone decides whether you return to Me or want to remain with him as his appendage.... But in order for you to experience this strengthening of will, you must therefore make use of the treasure of grace acquired through My death on the cross.... Only from this source can you draw strength to resist, for only through Jesus' death was the fountain of grace opened and made accessible to you humans. And therefore Jesus must be acknowledged as God's Son and redeemer of the world, Who was only a cover for Me before people's eyes so that I Myself could accomplish the act of salvation for you humans.... For you were also My share, and My concern for the once fallen is tireless, so that it returns to Me again in free will.... For this reason your will had to be strengthened, for you would never have changed your will on your own and taken the path back to Me, for this was prevented by My adversary, under whose control you had been since your fall into the abyss and from whom I therefore redeemed you. You can all be released from him, yet only if you take the path to the cross and then commend yourselves to Me as your lord, Who will truly help you and give you the strength to finally release yourselves from the bondage of death....

Amen
