2380 Gifts of the spirit.... divine teacher.... promise....

June 23, 1942: Book 32

The gifts of the spirit are unsurpassable, nothing can replace or devalue them, and every recipient can be called immeasurably rich, for what the spirit gives him remains his possession for all eternity. The gifts of the spirit are a divine legacy, promised by Jesus Christ to everyone who believes in Him and in this faith keeps His commandments. And this divine legacy will always and forever be valid, God will constantly pour out His spirit onto the willing people on earth who desire this gift. And thus they will be taught by God.... And whoever is instructed by the divine teacher, his knowledge cannot be surpassed. And consequently, anyone who receives the gifts of the spirit from the divine teacher must become wise, and these are the foundations of Christ's church, they are effectively the foundation of faith, for they receive the gospel directly from God, which they are now to pass on again and which is intended to lead people to faith.... The divine teaching of love is therefore to be passed on, and this is made known to people in all details through the work of the spirit, so the source of the teaching of love is God Himself.... it is His strength, His spirit, which conveys this teaching of love to people in the form of instructions which all have the sole purpose of shaping the human being such that he can likewise receive the gifts of the divine spirit. For when the spirit of God becomes effective in the human being, he takes the sure path to his perfection. For he consciously walks the path with God, since God Himself is present in every gift of the spirit. He is Himself in the word, which is given to people as a spiritual gift.... And God can never be replaced, He cannot be surpassed.... He is always and forever ready to bestow this gift of grace and offers Himself in the word to those who fulfil His commandments, for He has promised this spirit of His Who guides man into all truth....

amen
