6708 Significance of the work of redemption....

December 7, 1956: Book 72

Again and again I bring My crucifixion to your attention, again and again I draw your attention to Jesus Christ's act of salvation, and again and again I try to make the significance of this act of salvation clear to you humans, because the most important thing for you on earth is to unite with Me in Jesus Christ in order to attain the forgiveness of all guilt of sin through Him.... The redemption period is coming to an end, and you humans who live on this earth can still make use of the short time for your redemption but you have to request Jesus Christ's help for it. And therefore you must also know that Jesus' earthly life as a human being was the fulfilment of a mission which was meant for your release from a bound state. You must know that both your existence as a human being as well as His life on this earth have spiritual reasons: that you should reach an aim and that He only made it possible for you to reach this aim through His death on the cross. You must know that your existence is the result of an offence against Me in the kingdom of spirits and that Jesus' life, suffering and death on this earth wanted to atone for this offence against Me so that you can return to the original state which was your bliss before your offence against Me. But this is why the act of salvation is of utmost importance for you humans, and your earthly life will have been lived in vain if you pass it by, if you don't let Him help you, for only He can bring you help.... or also.... You cannot become blessed without Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation for you in the human being Jesus. You must inevitably return to Me again in order to be blissfully happy, and you can only accomplish this return to Me with the support of Jesus Christ, because He acquired the blessings for you on the cross which are now abundantly available to you if only you request them.... Again and again you are told that you live in a world of sin, for everything you see surrounding you is the kingdom of My adversary.... that is, spiritual beings that fell away from Me, which once rebelled against Me.... And this kingdom is dark, its inhabitants are weak, helpless beings. But a light came down into this kingdom.... from My kingdom of blessed spirits a being descended, Who wanted to help you.... I sent My son to earth.... in Whom I Myself then took abode, because your weakness and darkness took pity on Me and I wanted to help you regain light and strength. The light Itself descended into the abyss, yet few recognized It, only a few recognized Me Myself in the man Jesus, Who sheltered Myself in His shell. For you were My children who had indeed voluntarily renounced Me but whom I don't want to leave to My adversary forever, because this would mean eternal unhappiness and My love for you is so great that I would like to prepare a blissful fate for you.... but your free will must also accept this gift of Mine. And I will forgive you this grave sin of your former rebellion against Me if you take the path to Me via Jesus Christ.... if you thus acknowledge Him as the redeemer from sin and death, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of salvation for you. Then you will acknowledge Me again, Whom you once did not want to acknowledge and therefore fell into deepest darkness. Then you will become enlightened again, for the light itself descended to earth in order to bring it to you, and it will also never go out again for the one who recognized it, who took refuge in Jesus Christ, who carried his sins under His cross, who allowed himself to be redeemed by Me in Jesus Christ....

Amen
