7836 Faith in and knowledge of the work of redemption....

February 26, 1961: Book 82

When I opened the kingdom of light for you again through My death on the cross My adversary's power over you was broken insofar as you were able to oppose his will yourselves, which was not possible before because you were completely weakened in his dominion. But now he could no longer keep your will bound, and as soon as it was willing to turn to Me you escaped his power, and now you draw the strength from Me because I had acquired it for you through My sacrificial death.... In the human stage your will is free, it is not forced from any side.... but it can be completely weakened and then it cannot offer My adversary any resistance.... But the fact that this weakened will was strengthened is why I died on the cross.... And now you humans need only ask Me in Jesus Christ to strengthen your will.... and you will be able to free yourselves from the adversary's power. Thus you must acknowledge Jesus Christ's act of salvation, and thus the knowledge of it must be conveyed to you humans. You humans must be taught that an original sin is the reason for your earthly life as a human being and that this original sin is also the reason for the act of salvation. You must know why a human being suffered death on the cross and what mission this human being fulfilled in truth: that He offered Himself to Me as a cover because I wanted to redeem the great guilt for you in Him, which had kept the kingdom of light closed to you since your apostasy from Me.... And therefore you will be instructed again and again in the truth so that all correlations will be clear to you, so that you will now also recognize your purpose of earthly life, which consists of believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world, for you will not be able to enter through the gate into the kingdom of light until you have also found redemption..., until you have found redemption, which only requires your own will to turn to Me again, Who embodied Myself in the human being Jesus, Who died for you Myself on the cross in order to redeem you from My adversary's power. And if you humans are still weak-willed, come to Me in Jesus and ask Me to strengthen your will.... And truly, you will be released from this power, for then your will will already be turned towards Me and your earthly life will not have been lived in vain, it will lead you towards the aim which, however, you will never be able to reach without redemption through Jesus Christ. And already the will to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation earns you strength and grace, for it testifies that you want to detach yourselves from My adversary who tries to keep you in spiritual darkness. But truth is light, and thus you then desire the light when you ask for the truth.... And the 'eternal light' will shine for you, it will truly guide you to the right knowledge, and then you will also turn to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and also to Me Myself, Whom you now recognize in Jesus as your God and father of eternity. Then you will have voluntarily returned to Me, and then My crucifixion will not have been in vain for you, then the gate into the kingdom of light will have been opened for you, you yourselves will be united with Me again, the abyss will have had to release you, and you will now also remain with Me forever.... And therefore I will never stop giving you humans enlightenment through My word, for one thing is entirely necessary: to know about the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.... He cannot be excluded, without Him there is no beatitude.... and I Myself cannot be thought of in any other way than in Him. And if you want to make contact with Me it can only happen in Jesus, Whose shell I chose for Myself in order to be able to be a visible God for you, Who is a spirit, inconceivable to you.... Who fills the whole universe but manifested Himself for you, His creatures, in the shell of the man Jesus.... In Him, therefore, you must look for Me, and then you will also find Me and never lose Me again...._>Amen
