6521 Benefiting from the graces of the work of redemption....

April 12, 1956: Book 70

The blessings of the act of Salvation are available to you humans, and no-one is excluded from it who does not exclude himself by consciously denying or rejecting the act of Salvation, by not acknowledging Jesus Christ as God's Son and Redeemer of the world. So all of you can be saved through Him.... if this is your will. Salvation means living, being active in light and power.... Bliss is the state you were in before your apostasy from Me.... it is the state of perfection which, however, is now to be attained by you of your own free will, whereas in the original state you were created perfectly .... i.e., you were placed out of Me as beings to be independent. The attainment of perfection in free will has only become possible through your fall into the abyss and therefore brings you unimagined bliss because you have overcome this abyss and worked your way up.... But there is still no excuse for the Fall, your former turning away from Me.... because you stood in such a bright light that the fall into the abyss should not have happened, and even then you could have decided in favour of Me of your own free will in order to stay with Me in eternal bliss.... For this reason, however, the path from the abyss, from an infinite distance back to Me again, is extremely arduous, because the sin against Me was immeasurably great.... but the final return to Me is associated with immeasurable bliss if you attain the childship to God.... the highest degree of perfection.... through your life on earth. And you can achieve this precisely through the redemptive work of the man Jesus, Who acquired a treasure of grace for you through His death on the cross, of which you may avail yourselves without restriction. I Myself came to your aid on your way back to Me because My love for you is endless and wanted to win you back again after ages of turning away from Me.... Yet as long as you do not recognise Me Myself in the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, the graces of the act of Salvation will also remain ineffective on you, you will not recognise them for what they are.... You will not avail yourselves of them and therefore remain powerless and in a lightless state out of which I would like to help you but cannot do so against your will. You must ask for these graces for Jesus' sake.... then you will acknowledge Him as the One in Whom I embodied, and then My help and your ascent and reaching of the goal will also be certain.... The human being alone, as a once fallen original spirit, is too weak because he is constantly held on by My adversary; if he turns to Me in Jesus Christ I can release him from the bondage and give him freedom, but without the call to Me I have to let My adversary have his right, since you once voluntarily followed him to the abyss and your will now also determines again whether you reach the height.... A rich treasure of grace is at your disposal.... Use it, avail yourselves of what the man Jesus acquired for you on the cross.... For He suffered and laid down His life to give you life.... He paid the debt which brought you death, a state of complete lightlessness and powerlessness.... And so you can now gain light and strength again if you accept His sacrifice, if you acknowledge Him and ask Him for help.... if you accept His grace, if you are willing to follow Him, Who has led the way upwards for you.... Then you too will attain eternal life and be filled with immeasurable bliss....

Amen
