4486 Pure gospel.... additional human work.... disciples' task....

November 14, 1948: Book 52

You will always be able to recognize My emissaries if you are seriously willing to examine. Then you must always keep My teaching of love in mind and use it as a yardstick to determine whether what My servants offer corresponds to this teaching. But you must never take offence at the fact that My servants on earth do not teach or stand up for what people have added, that they do not stand up for customs and traditions which are merely the work of men and that they condemn the latter and fight them as harmful for the attainment of maturity of soul. My servants shall bring you the pure gospel as I taught it at the time of My life on earth and as it no longer exists on this earth. They are to purge the gospel of additional human work, and they can also do this because they only convey to people what has reached them through the working of the spirit from above. This gospel, My teaching of love, will never be able to be objected to or declared erroneous by you in that form it is handed to you now, and therefore you should already respect My servants and listen to them in the knowledge that you will only receive a good gift from them. And if you are of good will you must then admit it yourselves that the deviations only extend to what I don't value, indeed, that they even oppose My will. I truly know best what hinders your ascent and want to remove the obstacles from you, I want you to find the path upwards more easily, to Me and thus to the aim, to eternal life.... Therefore I send you My messengers to instruct you and draw your attention to everything that is a danger for the soul. And if I were to send you no-one, how would you then arrive at the truth if it is no longer properly offered to you on earth? Awaken the spirit within you so that I will instruct you directly and it will tell you the same as I let My servants tell you, because you yourselves do not awaken the spirit within you. And gladly and without hesitation give up what is not in connection with My divine teaching of love, which you can recognize as human work by the fact that the disregard or non-observance of teachings or commandments causes no harm to anyone except perhaps the organization which has established these teachings or commandments. I only preached love to people and warned against every violation of love which will always cause harm to the fellow human being or even violate the law of order given by Me. And this commandment of love you shall fulfil.... My servants on earth bring you the same teaching, pure and unadulterated, as they received it from Me and as I Myself taught them on earth. And therefore listen to them and examine them if you are undecided, and with good will you will have to recognize them as My emissaries, for My teaching of love speaks for itself. And the fact that I fight against all human works, that I instruct My servants to take action against them, is truly necessary because I know the effect of human works when the time of the battle of faith begins and I want to protect you humans from becoming weak and falling away from Me, and therefore I already purify the teaching beforehand, because only the pure truth gives you strength and faith to endure until the end....

Amen
