3165 No redemption without love.... vitality....

June 21, 1944: Book 41

Redemption is only possible through love. This law applies both on earth and in the beyond and must therefore be fulfilled by all beings, otherwise they will remain eternally bound. The characteristic of redemption is light and strength. As long as the being is still without light and strength it is unredeemed, it has not yet regained its original freedom and therefore also not the ability to work in fullest knowledge. For the being, which however originally stood in all perfection, the imperfect state also means a state of misery and agony, but which it has caused itself through its will, through its lack of love. And only through love can it become again what it was from the beginning. Therefore, love can never be eliminated and must be the basic principle, so to speak, without which there can be no higher development. But if love is disregarded, the course of development must inevitably be hindered, for an influx of strength and light is then impossible, and where this is missing, a chaotic state is the result. For in darkness everything becomes confused and the lack of strength makes the beingness incapable of freeing itself from the state of imperfection. Light and strength, i.e. knowledge and power.... are the signs of redemption. An unredeemed being therefore cannot give out anything because it possesses nothing itself; it therefore cannot be active in love in the beyond either, and this state is extremely agonizing. On earth, however, the being has strength at its disposal even in its unredeemed state, a strength which is admittedly not the sign of being redeemed but which is granted to it as an extraordinary grace in order to be able to redeem itself. It is the life force flowing towards him which enables the human being to work with love in order to gain possession of light and spiritual strength. This is why earthly life is a special act of grace, because God conveys something to the beingness which it is actually not entitled to in its will of rejection against God.... He gives it the strength to work, even though receiving strength is only a part of the redeemed. This act of grace is immensely significant, and yet it remains unrecognized and unused.... That which has become weak through apostasy from God receives strength for self-redemption, which it only needs to use properly in order to be able to return to its original state of freedom, knowledge and power. God gave the beingness a life which it did not deserve, He gives it strength and constantly provides it with opportunities to be lovingly active, thus to use the life energy flowing towards it to work with love and thereby redeem itself. Yet the being does not make use of this extraordinary gift of grace, it continues to live in heartlessness and ignores its task in life, which is intended to bring it light and strength in the beyond. But there all supply of strength is cut off as long as it does not feel love within itself. And therefore the course of development in the beyond can only be continued under very difficult conditions if it is not completely interrupted or continued downwards by the will of the being itself. For a regression can now occur where the being is completely devoid of light and strength and, due to its lack of love, distances itself ever further from God. Without love there is no redemption, but love has to unfold freely in the being, and God gives it every conceivable opportunity to do so. And even if the process of transformation into love takes eternities, it cannot be circumvented because higher development means an alignment with the eternal deity, Which is pure love Itself, and therefore love has to be developed in the spiritual substance if it is to become again what it once was.... a free, light-filled and powerful being that is allowed to dwell in God's presence....
