B.D.-No. 2387
The grace of the last embodiment on earth is not recognized by people and therefore also not appreciated. The infinitely long duration of the earthly change comes to an end through this embodiment, and this time is truly short. It is sufficient for the complete transformation into a being of light and also does not place too high demands on the human being's will if it is weak and could not offer enough resistance for long enough. However, the human being does not use the time for his liberation and lets this last grace pass by unused, mostly out of ignorance of his destiny. However, all hints, explanations and admonitions are untrustworthy to him and he therefore pays no attention to them. However, since he is given free will as a human being, he can live his life on earth.... the last embodiment as a human being.... he will only have to answer for it one day because he will never remain without any knowledge about how his life on earth should be. For if the human being rejects a favour granted to him he must also bear the consequences according to divine justice. There is no other path to final redemption, it has to be travelled in freedom of will and faith, and for this purpose God has granted him this last embodiment as a human being. If this time is not recognized as a gift of grace then this is solely due to the human being's will, who resists everything that is demanded of him to believe and consequently also does not act according to this belief. The possibility of being able to recognize God is given to every human being; wanting to recognize Him is up to him, i.e. he cannot be forced to do so. His way of life therefore only depends on his free will; he can certainly live life but not utilize the graces of this life, and then the embodiment as a human being on earth was unsuccessful and in vain. With the death of his body he indeed gets rid of his outer shell, but he takes the consciousness of this shell with him into eternity and suffers far more under the bound state than on earth, while a properly utilized time on earth would have earned him complete liberation, therefore complete freedom. The disregard of this grace has an extremely painful effect, and the time on earth in free will is followed by a time of complete lack of will, which the being feels agonizingly and yet cannot remedy.... unless it fulfils what the human being should fulfil on earth.... it wants to become active in love in the beyond.... This will alone gives the soul the strength to work on its liberation. However, the unutilized time of grace on earth can never be completely compensated for in the beyond. Yet God has prepared incomprehensible bliss for those who live their earthly life according to God's will.... they are in truth His children, to whom He has promised the inheritance of the father....
