Law and justice.... courageous advocacy and commitment....

Absolute determination is required of those who stand up for law and justice. They should openly confess their innermost feelings and not be afraid of the judgement of the world; they should abandon all timidity when it comes to awakening a sense of justice in their fellow human beings. Mankind is afraid to speak the truth openly and usually agrees with the judgement of those who are powerful and respected. It distances itself from its own judgement as soon as it deviates from that of the former. And this is an admission of weakness, a lack of self-confidence and a sign of discouragement. But God needs fighters who face their opponent without hesitation to fight.... who think justly themselves and therefore also presuppose a sense of justice in their fellow human beings so that they can speak freely and openly.... For only through such can He Himself speak to people, otherwise man would have to speak against his feelings if he were to agree with the opinions of others who deviate from righteous thinking. God also demands full commitment to His teaching from man, and this teaching places love as the first commandment as the condition for a right way of life. But where this commandment is disregarded, justice and righteousness cannot be practiced, because this is also based on the love of one's fellow human beings. He who lacks love seeks only his own advantage and excludes righteous behaviour and thinking. And his behaviour must be denounced in order to educate him to be just. Consequently, his faults and weaknesses must be fearlessly held up to him so that he may learn to recognize himself and make an effort to live a righteous life. But if his injustice is tolerated without objection or even approved of, he will be strengthened in his wrong view and can never come to the right realization. If, however, a person wants to serve God, he places every word, every action and every thought at His disposal and asks for God's guidance and strength, and then he will be able to speak uninhibitedly and fearlessly stand up for what he recognizes in his heart as truth, as righteous before God.... he will try to influence his fellow human being to agree with his opinion, he will educate him to clear judgement and instil in him a sense of right and justice so that he, too, can stand up for it wherever it is appropriate....

La ley y la justicia.... Defensa y esfuerzo valiente....

Una determinación absoluta se pide de aquellos que defienden el derecho y la justicia. Sus sentimientos más internos deben reclamar abiertamente y no temer el juicio del mundo, deben dejar atrás cualquier temor cuando vale despertar también el sentido común en el semejante. La humanidad intenta esquivar de pronunciar abiertamente la verdad y se junta al juicio de aquellos que tienen poder y prestigio. Rechazan el propio juicio cuando se desvía de los protagonistas poderosos. A la vez es la admisión de debilidad, una falta de la propia seguridad y una señal de falta de ánimos. Pero Dios necesita combatientes que se enfrenten sin consideración al adversario en la lucha.... que ellos mismos piensan justo y que suponen un sentido de un juicio común en los semejantes a que hablen libre y abiertamente.... Porque Él mismo sólo puede hablar a través de aquellos, sino el hombre tendría que hablar contra su sentimiento si se juntara a la opinión de los otros que se han desviado del pensamiento justo. Dios pide de los hombres una misión con esfuerzo grande para Su doctrina, y esta doctrina pide primeramente el cumplimiento del amor en un estilo de vida auténtico. Donde se descuida este mandamiento allí tampoco se pueden realizar juicio y justicia, porque tiene como base el amor del semejante. Aquel, al que le falta el amor, solo busca una ventaja propia y elimina actos y pensamientos justos. Y hay que marcar sus acciones para educarles a los seres a ser justos. Entonces hay que presentarle sin miedo a sus fallos y debilidades a que aprenda a reconocerse a sí mismo e intenta llevar una vida justa. Pero si se consienta esa injusticia sin protestar o encima se aprueba, se le fortalece en un pensamiento falso y nunca podrá llegar al conocimiento correcto. Pero si el hombre quiere servir, pone a cada acción y pensamiento bajo Su juicio y pide por la guía divina y la fuerza de Dios, y entonces podrá hablar sin freno, y sin temor puede defender lo que el corazón le dicte como la verdad y justo ante Dios.... intenta influir a los semejantes de admitir a su opinión, le educará en un juicio claro y le plantea el sentido de ser justo a que pueda defenderlo donde haga falta....

amén
