0546 New laws.... teaching of Jesus Christ....

August 14, 1938: Book 12

Consider how many forces surround you, good and evil.... and that you are exposed to both, depending on your attitude, whether you affirm the good or the evil. And then imagine the great responsibility you have taken on for your soul.... Consider that you can achieve infinitely beautiful things but that you can also plunge your soul into ruin and that this is always your free will.... Then you must get an idea of how concerned the divine fatherly love is for the well-being of your soul and how He therefore tries to warn and restrain every person from taking the step that could lead to the soul's ruin.... And how He therefore wants to make you understand that you should only be concerned about the soul in order to be able to enjoy bliss without moderation one day. Thus the heavenly father has continuously sent admonitions to His earthly children and made sure that every soul becomes aware of His will....

He has focussed the attention of all mankind on the question of the divinity of Jesus Christ.... He has caused the battle to break out which the world and its followers are declaring against the son of God.... And the fact that He allows all this to happen is only out of true love for this very humanity, so that it begins to investigate in its heart what it still only superficially recognizes or even denies. Although people think that they can free themselves from the old teaching, which God Himself revealed to people during His life on earth, without evil consequences, this endeavour will bring them such dire consequences that the earth will still see much suffering and sorrow and this through their own fault.

The new law will be proclaimed and give people a certain religious freedom, but the after-effects will not fail to appear, for the heavenly father must seriously draw people's attention to the fact that they are walking on a completely wrong path if they try to free themselves from faith in the lord Jesus Christ and His work of redemption. The same situation would then arise again among people as before the saviour lived on earth.... Mankind would remain in the same darkness in the same great sinfulness, and the saviour from the distress of the soul.... Jesus Christ.... would be rejected again as before His death on the cross.... The way is open to all.... to heaven or to hell.... but whoever does not confess Jesus Christ can never find the way to his eternal home; he can only take the path to hell, for he simultaneously rejects all means of grace which the lord has made accessible to the earthly children through His act of salvation, and since the human being alone, without divine grace, is too weak to reach the right goal on earth, he is then no longer given the opportunity to partake of eternal life by his own strength, for the divine saviour acquired all this for us through His death on the cross.... But how should he be allowed to enjoy these graces who rejects the pure teaching of Christ and tries to replace it with worldly moral teaching.... When the hour of reckoning comes, he will have to bitterly repent and realise his great error, and only in the absence of any knowledge could his guilt be forgiven.... but if he knowingly rejects what is absolutely necessary for his beatification, he will never be able to reach the degree of perfection that will enable him to enter the father's house. And so let each one examine and pray to God from the bottom of his heart for enlightenment when the world tries to destroy faith in Jesus Christ as the son of God.... the father in heaven hears those who call and will never let their prayer go unheeded.... He will lovingly grant help and establish faith there and guide people into the truth so that their faith will become all the stronger and they will have to recognize the redeemer of humanity in the divine saviour and His teachings will forcefully take root in people's hearts in order to be spread anew across the whole earth.... And the divine saviour will give His blessing to this, as it is a matter of guiding countless souls onto the right path and bringing them closer to the kingdom of heaven.... And the multitude of His followers will proclaim His name loudly and fearlessly, and the lord will bless them for all eternity....

Amen
