7842 Right enlightenment about Jesus Christ.... work of redemption....

March 5, 1961: Book 82

Faith in the divine redeemer guarantees that you will enter the kingdom of light after death, because then you will also have found redemption, the forgiveness of guilt, which has so far kept the kingdom of light closed to you. And you can only attain living faith if you make an effort to live a life of love.... if you keep the commandments which He Himself gave you when He lived on earth. But you also need to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation; you need to know what motivated Him to die on the cross for people, and Who actually existed in the man Jesus, Who accomplished the act of salvation.... You must know that God Himself was in Him and therefore also acknowledge Jesus as God's son and redeemer of the world, in Whom the eternal deity manifested Himself in order to accomplish the act of salvation on the cross. As soon as you humans are taught the pure truth you can also attain faith, because then love for Him will be kindled in you humans and this love will then also let faith come alive in you. This is why it is so extremely important that you are given a true picture of the mission of the man Jesus, for you will be willing to accept the truth if only you are of good will. But if you are given an unclear picture then you will doubt and also completely reject it, you will only regard Jesus Christ and His life on earth as a legend which is not to be taken seriously, and you will not be able to experience the blessing which arises from living faith in Him.... You will not be released from your great guilt of sin and with it burdened you will enter the kingdom of the beyond after your death, where no light and no beatitude awaits you, because you do not avail yourselves of the grace(s) of the act of salvation on earth, which require faith in Him.... And if you humans think you cannot believe in Jesus and His act of salvation, then only want what is right in your heart.... want the truth and ask God, Whom you acknowledge as your creator, to grant you the truth.... And you will truly receive right enlightenment about Jesus’ work of redemption. You will receive knowledge, in whatever way it may be.... which you then willingly accept because you inwardly feel that it is the truth. For God does not want you to believe blindly.... He wants you to be serious about standing in the truth.... And therefore He will also help you to gain a living faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, because only such faith can open the kingdom of light for you, because only in living faith will you recognize the father Who died for you on the cross in order to redeem you.... The truth will bring you full assurance that you have been redeemed from sin and death.... On the other hand, wrong or inadequate knowledge will cause you to doubt and you will reject the divine redeemer and thus also God Himself, but you will have to profess Him in earthly life if you don't want to have lived it in vain. Just try to attain a living faith in Jesus Christ and pray for it with all your heart and soul.... And the gates to beatitude will open for you, you will be allowed to enter the kingdom of light after your death, you will no longer be burdened by sin and you will only ever be allowed to experience His infinite love and mercy and praise and glorify Him.... And through the truth you will still be able to believe on earth and receive this truth again and again through His word, which God Himself conveys to earth, so that people will find Jesus Christ through the truth and thus also Himself, Who was in Him and Who died on the cross for you and your guilt of sin...._>Amen
