7234 Commandment to love God and neighbour....

December 20, 1958: Book 76

Only the commandment of love for God and your neighbour was given to you humans by Me, for if you fulfil this commandment all other commandments become invalid which are only ever directed against the evidence of unkindness. Therefore it can certainly be rightly said that the commandments I gave Moses before are all contained in the two commandments of love for God and neighbour, only in Moses' time it was necessary that people's transgressions were listed in detail and therefore commandments were given in detail in order to lead people back into the state of righteousness where everyone should do for his fellow human being what he desired for himself. For every sin is an offence against love, and humanity lived in sin, both at the time of Moses as well as at the time of My life on earth.... Love had grown cold, man no longer respected his fellow human being, nothing was sacred to him, neither possessions nor the life of his neighbour.... He shrank from nothing, for he was under My adversary's control, and again and again the sinfulness of their actions had to be held up to them through prophets and they had to be urged to change their way of life. Again and again it is about the lack of love.... And again and again I will have the divine teaching of love proclaimed through My servants and prophets, as it happened in Moses' time and as I Myself did as the man Jesus.... Prophets have always arisen, and prophets will arise again and again who announce an end with terror to people because they have strayed from the right path, because love has grown cold and a loveless life also entails the most dreadful consequences, both spiritually and earthly.... For a life without love violates My law of eternal order, and such a violation results in greatest earthly adversity and in the destruction of what I created to establish order. Love is the only thing divine order consists of, and a life without love cannot be other than contrary to My eternal order and therefore must also have the corresponding effect. And people are not left in the dark about what the commandments of love for God and neighbour mean.... Again and again it will be explained to them what the beings' imperfection consists of and how it is to be remedied, again and again love will be emphasized as the only healing power against everything unhealthy, as the only light which divides the darkness, as the only means to establish the final union with Me. Love is everything, and therefore you humans experience an end with terror through My messengers who announce it to you as soon as you disregard these commandments, as soon as you disregard the divine order which can only ever be established through a life of love. Without love everything remains in rigidity of death, which means darkness, lack of strength and bondage for all spiritual, which was once created in light, strength and freedom. Only love can restore this former state, and therefore My commandment of love for God and one's neighbour will always and forever be and remain the first and most important commandment, and again and again I will have prophets proclaim loudly that no-one can become blissfully happy without love, that only through love can the union with Me be established which grants the being eternal bliss and restores it to its original state.... And you should listen to these prophets, for their voice sounds especially loud and clear in the last days before the end, when love has grown cold amongst people and therefore an era is coming to an end because the lawful order has to be restored where love reigns and everything is blissfully happy in love....

Amen
