8483 Purpose and meaning of the revelations.... Signs of Truth....

April 30, 1963: Book 89

You will be given spiritual knowledge which your soul needs to mature on this earth. And thus My gospel of love will be preached to you first and foremost, which you now also have to live out in order to feel the effect, because love is the first thing and no spiritual progress can be achieved without love. Only love will open up your understanding for the knowledge I want to impart to you so that you will recognize My nature and then also learn to love Me.... For you are completely darkened in spirit when you start earthly life as a human being, you first have to be slowly guided to the light, and the light has to be brought to you by light bearers who are inwardly enlightened and thus able to instruct you truthfully.... And I take care of your enlightenment because I want your earthly life to bring you the success for which your soul is embodied as a human being. I know best what knowledge you need on earth, and I also supply it to you. I also know how much error there is in the world and how this error has to be countered.... I know that My adversary also exerts his influence on you and therefore I offer you My help so that you can survive the battle against him.... And thus I also give you knowledge about him and his activity, I give you knowledge about the reason for your humanity and show you the right path you have to take in order to reach the final goal of re-establishing the union with Me which you once voluntarily severed.... You should know why you are on earth and then also adjust your life according to this knowledge.... This is the purpose and meaning of My everlasting revelations, for I alone can impart knowledge to you which entirely corresponds to the truth, because I am the beginning and the end.... and because you came forth from Me and shall return to Me again in order to remain with Me forever. And I say to you that you can abide by what I convey to you by way of revelation with all certainty, for it originates from the Eternal Truth and can only be purest truth. And if you raise the objection that the revelations do not correspond and that you cannot know which revelations are genuine, i.e. which originated from Me, I can only ever reply that you need only have the firm will to recognize the pure truth and that you should ask Me Myself with all your heart to let you recognize it.... And you will definitely gain the inner conviction that I Myself address you when you receive a revelation from Me, whereas you will remain inwardly untouched by spiritual knowledge which did not originate from Me.... It always depends on yourselves, on your degree of desire for truth, that you also have the right realisation, for anyone who only accepts spiritual knowledge indifferently will remain unimpressed by whatever is presented to him.... And he will also be unable to make a decision between truth and error. And time and again a person's degree of love will be decisive as to whether he is impressed by the truth, whether he feels touched by it.... For this reason My teaching of love is repeatedly emphasised first, and as soon as this is merely followed a person's thinking will already be enlightened to such an extent that he will be able to recognize what is truth and what is error.... And I also give a second recognition sign of pure truth: the presentation of Jesus Christ's act of salvation.... its justification and its effect.... If you humans are without knowledge about it, your earthly existence will not lead you to the goal, and therefore I give you a right clarification through My revelations. But if spiritual transmissions leave gaps so that people cannot grasp the depth of the divine act of mercy, then they are not 'divine' revelations.... For since I know that Jesus Christ is the only salvation for the once fallen spiritual being, that He is the only path which leads to the goal, to Me, I will give you a truthful clarification precisely about this in order to induce people to entrust themselves to Him, to appeal to Him for strengthening of will and for forgiveness of your guilt.... For this forgiveness opens the gate to the kingdom of light for you humans. And therefore you can always use the presentation (emphasis) of the act of salvation and its profound spiritual reasoning as a touchstone, and then you will also certainly recognize and accept a genuine revelation, whereas you will not allow yourselves to be impressed by wrong spiritual knowledge but reject it if My adversary tries to consider you in the same way, so that he will cause confusion amongst people. Not much time will pass anymore and then his activity will be put to an end.... But the time until then demands a serious battle from you which, however, you will pass with My help.... For your bond with Me alone secures you clear knowledge and My protection and support, which you can request at any time.... And never will such a prayer be in vain as soon as it is sent to Me in spirit and in truth....

Amen
