7962 The immeasurable love of Jesus....
August 9, 1961: Book 83
When I walked across the earth I, as a human being, recognized humanity's great adversity because love was powerful in Me and thereby there was also brightest light in Me about the cause of the adversity, about the state people were in and also that they were bound by a power which was evil and wanted to plunge people into ruin.... The love within Me gave Me this realization, and the love within Me decided to make a sacrifice for humanity which was languishing in deepest adversity.... By virtue of My love I decided to engage in an open battle with the adversary, as a human being I wanted to prove to him that My love was a strength by means of which I could defeat him. I wanted to use My love against his hatred.... And this greater than great love of Mine was to redeem people from his power.... I knew about the cause of human existence, about the beings' past apostasy from God, because the love within Me gave Me this realization. And thus I also knew that only 'love' could bring them salvation from their state of adversity.... And thus My efforts as the 'human being Jesus' were first of all to present the divine teaching of love to My fellow human beings and to encourage them to live a life of love so that they could acquire strength to resist My adversary.... And I exemplified a life of love to them and then crowned this life of love with My death on the cross.... I offered a sacrifice of love to the father for My fellow human beings and through this sacrifice bought people's souls free from their dungeon master.... I paid the debt with My life.... Only love was able to make such a sacrifice, and love was in Me.... The father Himself, the eternal love, filled Me, the eternal love Himself thus redeemed the guilt which the spiritual had loaded upon itself when it fell, when it followed the adversary into the depth.... The former fall into the abyss, the separation from God, had only been possible because the beings had renounced love, because they did not accept the father's illumination of love.... People had to become love again, and because they no longer had the strength to do so I acquired this willpower for them through My death on the cross and redeemed them from their weakened state.... And now they were able to free themselves from the adversary's power, for they now received strength from Me as the divine redeemer, because they were now also able to live a life of love, because after My act of salvation they were now able to receive the illumination of love again, which constantly flows from Me as the eternal love to all beings which open themselves to receive it.... As a human being I recognized the great need of My fellow human beings.... I also knew this as an angelic spirit emanating from the father and offered Myself to descend to earth and bring the children back to the father again.... I offered Myself to serve eternal love as a human shell so that "love" could accomplish the work of redemption.... But I first also took the path as a human being across this earth, for a human being's free will should declare itself ready for this work of mercy, because a human being had to take unspeakable suffering upon Himself as atonement, since 'God' cannot suffer but a great sacrifice of atonement was necessary for the sake of justice in order to redeem the great original sin. But I came to earth with a heart full of love, and My life on earth was an unceasing activity of love, for love was the strength which people, however, lacked, which is why I preached the divine teaching of love and repeatedly admonished people to follow Me.... Yet until I had accomplished the act of salvation the adversary's power was still too great and the human being was weakened to the utmost.... For this reason a saviour had to come Who liberated them from his power, for this reason 'love' had to accomplish a work through which the adversary was defeated.... A person's love had to resist him and thus win the battle against him, for the adversary was no match for love, and thus he had to let go of the souls which gave themselves to divine love, which acknowledged Me and My act of salvation, which thus voluntarily wanted to return to Me and entered My flow of love again.... And this work of salvation has been accomplished, and thus every person can free himself from the adversary's power who claims the blessings of the act of salvation, who acknowledges Me and My act of salvation, who asks Me for forgiveness of guilt and for strengthening of his will of love.... For he will be able to follow Me, he will be able to lead a way of life like Mine, and the love he now practices will impart strength to him so that he successfully covers his earthly path.... that he only strives towards Me Myself as the eternal love and that he finds unity with Me and returns to his father's house, from which he once distanced himself of his own free will and therefore also has to accomplish the return of his own free will. Yet this return can only take place through love, and therefore I also preached love when I lived on earth and sent My disciples out to proclaim the divine teaching of love to all peoples of the earth.... For only love sets you free from the power of the one who is devoid of all love and therefore My adversary, which he will also remain until My act of salvation is finally completed.... until all spiritual beings have returned to Me and there can then eternally be no more death....
Amen
