7156 Remember the significance of the work of redemption....
June 30, 1958: Book 76
You humans too seldom remember My death on the cross.... And yet this was decisive for the entire spiritual world, for everything unredeemed on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom. Previously the souls entered the kingdom of the beyond hopelessly when they left earth, for they took a burden with them which prevented them from entering the spheres of light. And only those people who, in filial piety, believed in the coming of the messiah and took this faith with them, awaited the divine redeemer full of longing in the kingdom of the beyond, Who was to bring them final liberation from the fetters of the adversary. But the adversary still had control over the souls for as long as his power had not yet been broken. Only through My act of salvation, through My suffering and death on the cross, a new time dawned, and now no soul need go through earthly life without hope, every soul could already secure its entry into the kingdom of light on earth if only it believed in Me and My act of mercy and called upon Me for help against its previous lord. But in order to consciously send up this call to Jesus Christ the human being must also occupy himself with the act of salvation in his thoughts.... he must remember My suffering and death, he must often turn his thoughts to the cross, he must try to imagine the immense suffering the man Jesus endured for his fellow human beings out of love for them, he must intimately unite himself with Me in Jesus and again and again keep in mind what I suffered for his sins.... He must not go through earthly life in ignorance of Jesus Christ's work of mercy or in indifference merely express a dead faith in Him through words. He must seriously concern himself with His sacrifice on the cross, only then will it not fail to have an effect and move the human being to remember his own guilt and carry it to the cross.... You humans could all experience a great deal of help if only you would call upon Me Myself in Jesus Christ for mercy, for help against the enemy of your souls. But I must demand this call from you.... I cannot grant you this assistance without your request, and you usually refrain from requesting the divine saviour's help.... (30.6.1958) If only you would consider that a human being sacrificed himself for you in order to help you out of eternal bondage.... However, as long as you are still on earth you are still in this bondage, which is also your fate until you remember the man Jesus, in Whom I Myself was in fullness, and until you call upon Me Myself in Jesus Christ to help you attain freedom. You are not able to do it without help.... You will also be granted help but not without your will expressing itself that you take the path to Jesus Christ yourselves, that you remember His crucifixion and also want to belong to those for whom Jesus shed His blood. But when do you dwell on Him, the divine redeemer, in your thoughts?.... My act of salvation is not a significant event for you, it is rather a problem you do not like to solve.... it is a question of doubt or a legend to which you attach no deeper value. And yet, it is the most important thing, and only the person who immerses himself in this greatest work of mercy ever accomplished by a human being on earth will not live his life in vain, and he will reach the aim, for he is also assured of redemption from sin and death, from bondage and darkness. You have to hand yourselves over to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ with full awareness, you have to appeal to Him to take care of you, you have to confess your weakness and sinfulness to Him and ask Him to release you from it..... You must involve Him in your life, you must not walk without Him, for only then, when you daily and hourly remember the immense love which prompted Me to take abode in the man Jesus in order to release you from your great guilt, will you also understand the act of salvation in all its depth and ask for forgiveness of this guilt.... And it will become yours.... But the people on earth no longer know it, which is why they take the path across earth. And if it is brought to them, then their unbelief holds them back from accepting it. They don't know and don't believe that Jesus Christ's act of salvation has to be acknowledged by every person who wants to exchange bondage and lack of strength for freedom, light and strength one day.... But they also don't know and don't believe that the hour could ever come when they recognize their dark, powerless state, for they don't believe in a continuation of life after death and in a responsibility towards Me for the benefit of their earthly existence. And yet, again and again clear knowledge will be given to people from My side about the significance of My human manifestation in Jesus, the act of salvation and the acknowledgement of it.... for this knowledge will never be lost, it will also be given to people again and again in an understandable way, because due to My adversary's influence the ignorance and lack of understanding of it will become ever more visible and people would find it difficult to believe if the teachings about it are deformed, thus they no longer correspond to the truth. But I want you humans to see clearly that you take the path to Me in Jesus Christ of your own free will. And therefore I will also take care again and again that you will be enlightened about the most important of all faith teachings.... about the mission of the man Jesus and the significance of what He accomplished.... For I do not require you to accept what seems doubtful to you, but I enlighten you so that you will voluntarily accept and then also take the path to the cross, which alone brings you redemption, which lets you be free of your original sin and secures your entrance into the kingdom of light.... the path which alone leads back to Me, from Whom you once came forth....
Amen
