5858 Work of God's children on earth....

January 21, 1954: Book 63

There will only ever be a few who leave this earth as true children of God, who are so intimately united with Me through love that they have thus also become My image, because My strength of love can completely permeate them. There will only be a few who will have completed the path through earthly life with the success of complete spiritualization.... who will have achieved the deification of their nature and can now work as My true children in the spiritual kingdom. Yet an infinite number of creatures do not attain this state on earth but can nevertheless enter the kingdom of light after their death.... Through faith in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world they can attain forgiveness of their sins and thereby also be receptive to light to a certain degree, which can still increase in the kingdom of the beyond, so that they can also enjoy beatitudes and constantly increase them because they constantly strive to ascend in the spiritual kingdom.... Thus only faith in Jesus Christ is necessary in order to find entrance into the kingdom of light.... But this faith can only be alive if the heart is capable and willing to love.... Thus every soul must be able to demonstrate a degree of love, and this therefore also secures the radiation of light of love in the spiritual kingdom. For without love faith in Jesus Christ does not exist either, even though the human being declares it with his mouth.... Only the heart's feeling is valued by Me, and this will always profess Jesus Christ if it develops love within itself. But the degree of love can be completely different, and this alone determines the light and beatitude in the spiritual kingdom.... To have completely become love on earth secures the soul's childship to God.... But only a few people reach this degree, yet because through their love they also recognize the blessing of love and the hardship of all beings which have no love within themselves, they make every effort to encourage their fellow human beings to be lovingly active. And therefore they will also be tirelessly active to proclaim My gospel of love, with words or also through their example, so that they have an educational effect on their fellow human beings through their life and their conduct according to My will. For it is important to shape people at least to such an extent that the kingdom of light is not completely closed to them.... It is important to save them from the fate of darkness when their souls leave this earth. For this reason much work will and must still be done, and for this reason I will still take many people away from this earth who can already be legitimately permeated by a small degree of light, so that they will not lose it but be able to increase it in the spiritual kingdom. And I also woo the souls who live on earth in complete unbelief and without love with all My love so that a spark of love will arise in them and a small light will already shine from within when they are taken from this earth.... The slightest shine of light entitles them to enter the kingdom of light, and blessed are those who are allowed to enter it, blessed are those who are not taken in by the kingdom of darkness, blessed are those who do not belong to those in whom everything is extinguished and who therefore can spend endless times in wretchedness until a ray of light penetrates to them.... The degree of love on earth determines the degree of abundance of light in the spiritual kingdom.... And thus you will also understand that I can only accept as My true children those who have completely shaped themselves into love on earth.... and that they already create and work with Me and in My will on earth, as they will also do one day in My kingdom.... And thus My children on earth must be recognizable by the fact that light and warmth emanates from them, that they teach My word or live it out in such a way that their fellow human beings, who are themselves of good will, take them as an example.... They carry the light and warmth among people through their way of life and are often able to do more than words can, for they are already radiated with light and love on earth and proclaim Me with every look, with every word and every deed....

Amen
