6584 Fulfilment of the promise of Jesus....

June 30, 1956: Book 70

"Whoever keeps My commandments is the one who loves Me.... I will reveal Myself to him.... " Do you know what a great promise I have given you with these words? I Myself will reveal Myself to you, I will communicate with you, I will disclose Myself to you as your most loving Father from eternity.... I want to address you as a sign of My presence in you, who you have, through love, prepared a dwelling place for Me in your heart.... Whoever loves Me is therefore offered something delicious by Me, he can hear Me, he can hear My voice, and he has certain proof of My love for him, for I Myself make Myself known to him.... Thus I have given you a glorious promise and only linked the fulfilment of this promise to the fulfilment of My commandments, that you live a life of love.... For love alone makes My approach to you possible, love alone lets Me be present in you. Every one of My promises requires of you to love Me and your neighbour, because I can only ever give to you according to your faith, which first must come alive through love.... But this promise means the most beautiful goal for you: I Myself want to come to you and make My dwelling in you.... I want to celebrate Communion with you, I want to distribute something delicious to you, I want to be with you in the word and inform you about Myself.... because I want you to learn to love Me, Whom, however, you do not know as long as He has not revealed Himself to you. But you will never be able to partake of My promise if you do not shape yourselves into love.... And therefore I gave you the commandments of love for God and your neighbour. Through these commandments you should know My will, although love also must be practised freely out of you if it is to be effective. For even works of love are worthless if they are carried out under pressure. A commandment is certainly a certain compulsion but 'love' cannot be forced, it is something free.... Only the human being should take note of the fact that only a life of love is important if he wants to be saved, and therefore I presented him love in the form of My commandments.... For you humans are still free to observe and fulfil them or to be heedless of them, because the fulfilment of those commandments does not have an earthly effect but predominantly yields spiritual possessions.... But a revelation on My part is the highest spiritual good the human being can acquire on earth.... To have heard My address within oneself is proof of My love which outshines all earthly goods. Then the separation between Me and the human being will be lifted, then I will be close to him again, so close that he will be able to hear My voice, and then he will mature in realisation, because I Myself will remove all veils from his eyes and let him gain insight into My work and activity, into My eternal plan of Salvation and reveal My nature to him, so that his love will increase constantly and he will serve Me already on earth and also in eternity.... Time and again I point out the intimate contact with Me which will result in the highest spiritual advantage for your soul. Yet these promises are seldom heeded because they presuppose a life of love, and yet the fulfilment is.... My presence in you and the evidence of it.... the most delicious thing attainable to you on earth, and you should only ever make an effort to live a life of love in order to now also recognise the truth of My words when everything in you gains light and life, when you experience the fulfilment of My promise yourselves.... when you hear My address and now also no longer doubt My presence....

Amen
