Absolute determination is required of those who stand up for law and justice. They should openly confess their innermost feelings and not be afraid of the judgement of the world; they should abandon all timidity when it comes to awakening a sense of justice in their fellow human beings. Mankind is afraid to speak the truth openly and usually agrees with the judgement of those who are powerful and respected. It distances itself from its own judgement as soon as it deviates from that of the former. And this is an admission of weakness, a lack of self-confidence and a sign of discouragement. But God needs fighters who face their opponent without hesitation to fight.... who think justly themselves and therefore also presuppose a sense of justice in their fellow human beings so that they can speak freely and openly.... For only through such can He Himself speak to people, otherwise man would have to speak against his feelings if he were to agree with the opinions of others who deviate from righteous thinking. God also demands full commitment to His teaching from man, and this teaching places love as the first commandment as the condition for a right way of life. But where this commandment is disregarded, justice and righteousness cannot be practiced, because this is also based on the love of one's fellow human beings. He who lacks love seeks only his own advantage and excludes righteous behaviour and thinking. And his behaviour must be denounced in order to educate him to be just. Consequently, his faults and weaknesses must be fearlessly held up to him so that he may learn to recognize himself and make an effort to live a righteous life. But if his injustice is tolerated without objection or even approved of, he will be strengthened in his wrong view and can never come to the right realization. If, however, a person wants to serve God, he places every word, every action and every thought at His disposal and asks for God's guidance and strength, and then he will be able to speak uninhibitedly and fearlessly stand up for what he recognizes in his heart as truth, as righteous before God.... he will try to influence his fellow human being to agree with his opinion, he will educate him to clear judgement and instil in him a sense of right and justice so that he, too, can stand up for it wherever it is appropriate....
