6668 The way to God is the way of love....

October 13, 1956: Book 71

I will come to meet you all if only you take the path of love, for I Myself cannot take any other path since I Myself am love. And if you want to reach Me then you have to take this path and you will soon feel My hand which will take hold of you and pull you upwards. But if you take a path where eternal love cannot meet you, then you will cover long distances and still not see the aim, for this path does not lead to Me.... it always leads further away from Me, Who cannot be reached other than through love. And thus you, My servants on earth, should also instruct your fellow human beings, you should only ever point them to this one path of love and draw their attention to the fact that all pseudo-christianity is secondary and ignores love.... People have a wrong attitude towards their earthly task; they believe they will reach their aim if only they fulfil their religious duties. Too little emphasis is placed on love, which alone is important, and much is taken into account which, however, is of little value for eternity. And it is alarming that they believe they are fulfilling My will if they meet the 'ecclesiastical' demands placed upon them, and yet people do not achieve the slightest progress in earthly life if they do not kindle love within themselves, if they do not live a life which corresponds to My commandments of love. Again and again you should put love first, you should live a life of love yourselves and constantly point out to your fellow human beings the effect of a right life of love, their actual task of redeeming themselves through loving activity. You should only ever explain to them the importance of fulfilling My commandments of love, because they alone only lead to unity with Me, because the path of love alone is the path to Me, to eternal life. People who walk without love isolate themselves more and more, they increase the distance from Me instead of decreasing it, they cannot come close to Me because I cannot dwell where love is not.... And if you therefore walk your path alone, without Me, then you will be joined by My adversary who will certainly push you further and further away from Me, away from the right path, who will prevent you from working with love and kindle self-love into a bright glow.... so you belong to him again because you are at his beck and call. Unkind people believe neither in Me nor in My adversary, but all people could experience that a work of love also changes their thinking if it is carried out selflessly.... And all people are also offered the opportunity for such unselfish works of love, because again and again I try to urge them onto this path of love.... But no coercion happens to them, and that is why My approach is often unsuccessful. Therefore I admonish you, My servants, again and again: preach love.... for this is urgent in the last time before the end, because too little mention is made of it, because people believe to have done enough by belonging to a denomination and fulfilling traditional customs, and the core.... My doctrine of love.... have not yet grasped. People's attention must be drawn to the idleness of their lives if they have been led without love.... They have to hear again and again that I am 'eternal love' and that the path to Me is only ever the path of love.... that they can never reach Me Myself without love, but that only I can offer them a life of bliss if they can endure My nearness by shaping themselves into love.... There is no eternal beatitude without love....

Amen
