5633 Love acknowledges Jesus Christ.... lovelessness rejects Him....

March 23, 1953: Book 62

As the redeemer of humanity I am easily recognizable to those who live a life of love, whereas unloving people will always reject and fight Me because they do not understand what the act of salvation is all about, because they also do not understand the human being's development, the ascent from a stage of imperfection to perfection. For My death on the cross is closely connected with it, it was not only an act of human error by those who put Me on the cross, but it was an act of liberation of incomprehensible significance which can only be understood by people in whom My spirit can express itself. A person's life of love only gives the spirit within him the opportunity to express himself, thus to guide his thinking correctly, so that a problem is now revealed to him brightly and clearly which the human being will never be able to solve without love. This is why the rejection of Jesus Christ, the lack of faith, the final battle against the believers is also understandable, because love is no longer amongst people and therefore I Myself am no longer recognized in Jesus Christ and the act of salvation of the man Jesus has become completely meaningless for these people. Only love can and will recognize Me. And yet, unloving people must also be pointed to Jesus Christ.... His teaching of love has to be proclaimed to them, they must not yet be completely abandoned because their hearts are also capable of love and the willingness to love should be stimulated in them. And even the intellectual approach to the problem of God's incarnation in Jesus Christ and His crucifixion can be successful and should therefore not be disregarded, so that the human being cannot say that he has remained completely uninstructed about it, for every human being will find himself in a situation where there is a loud knocking at the door of his heart, where I Myself announce Myself and ask to be let in.... And one or the other can still open the door in remembrance of the teachings imparted to him. Full understanding cannot be expected from unloving people, yet every person once lets light radiate onto the surroundings and in such softer heart emotions can make inside (inner) concessions which can bring him a small step forward, which is why no person should be abandoned as long as he still lives on this earth.... And again, you should not cast pearls before swine.... You shall not offer My word, which testifies to the saviour Jesus Christ, to those who are obviously satan's servants.... Then withdraw, for open unkindness prevents all understanding, because the will is also openly directed against Me. You should turn your backs on them, for every further word would be pointless and only gives them opportunities to attack Me and you. But you should instruct those of weak will, and if you proclaim the gospel to them in love it can also kindle love in them, and they can feel addressed and listen to your words. For this reason it will also not be difficult for My adversaries in the last days, in the time of the last battle of faith, to eradicate faith in Jesus Christ, because where love is missing there is also no faith in Him, but this only has to hasten the end, the day when the separation of spirits takes place.... And then the divine redeemer Jesus Christ will be victorious over the one who is against Him.... Then truth will triumph, light over darkness.... love over hate.... And blessed will be those who through love knew Me, who believed in Jesus Christ and through Him attained eternal life....

Amen
