8196 Faith - love and listening inwards - conditions....

June 21, 1962: Book 86

You have been introduced to the truth.... And thus the knowledge of Jesus Christ's act of salvation, of its reason and great spiritual significance, has also been made accessible to you, for you possess little knowledge of it because you are still darkened in spirit and have not been properly instructed until now either.... For My spirit, which introduced you to the truth, could only rarely be effective because it originates from Me as the eternal truth itself and can only pour into suitable vessels.... because I can only convey the truth to a person through My spirit and this presupposes conditions which have to be fulfilled.... The human being must believe that I Myself speak directly to him.... He must make himself worthy of this address through a way of life in My eternal order.... through a way of life in love.... And in faith in My working of the spirit he must now also listen inwards.... and thus make it possible for Me Myself to speak to him.... And My speech will be clear and distinct, it will be an understandable answer to questions which move the human being, and thus the human being must also desire to receive a truthful answer. You humans lack the knowledge about all correlations, and thus you are also unaware of the significance of the act of salvation, or you have been wrongly instructed. And this is a great shortcoming, for without the redemption through Jesus Christ you cannot attain eternal life, but without knowledge of it you will not avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation either, which the man Jesus acquired for you through His death on the cross, and without this grace you are powerless and cannot release yourselves from the enemy of your souls.... And therefore it will always be My greatest endeavour to convey to you humans the knowledge of this act of salvation which I Myself accomplished for you in the man Jesus in order to redeem your original sin, which keeps you eternally separated from Me because divine justice demanded atonement according to the law of eternity. And everywhere I seek to guide the knowledge about Jesus Christ and the act of salvation so that all people take the path to the cross, so that they all hand themselves over to Him, so that they find redemption from sin and death. And this cannot happen in any other way than through My direct address by conveying the pure truth to people and they will then come to the right realization why they live on earth.... that they have fallen and should take the path back to Me in Jesus Christ again by taking the path to the cross and thereby acknowledge Me Myself, Whom they once refused to acknowledge.... which was their great original sin, that they voluntarily strayed from Me and shall therefore now voluntarily return to Me in order to be incomparably happy again, as they were in the beginning. And they shall experience through Me Myself that they are My children for whom I long and whom I will never give up, even if My adversary seeks to keep them in his chains for a long time to come.... My love is for My living creations always and forever, and it will not rest until it has won you back.... And therefore you will also be addressed by Me, I will always supply you with the truth because you must come to realize what you were, what you are and what you shall become again.... And if the pure truth is brought to you, you will also accept it and consciously turn to Me again, as you once turned away from Me.... I will break through the darkness of spirit and give you the light which you once lost but which you must possess again if you want to be blessed again as you were in the beginning....

Amen
