A believing congregation can be a great blessing in the midst of unbelievers, for if it lives out the word of God and God's promises are fulfilled in it, the believers will be a living example of Christ's teaching of love and at the same time proof of the truth of His word, which will also enable the unbelievers to come to faith if they are of good will. And this believing congregation is Christ's church through which His word is spread, for anyone who lives by faith, who fulfils the divine commandments, thus who takes Christ's teaching of love as the guiding principle of his life, will also try to persuade his fellow human being to do the same; he will hold the word of God up to him, he will preach love to him, he will try to strengthen his faith and try to incorporate him into Christ's church, the community of believers, in order to win his soul for the kingdom of God. He will thus work for the kingdom of God.... And thus a believing congregation can have a very beneficial effect and also prepare fellow human beings for the coming battle of faith. It can provide them with the evidence of the strength that lies in faith and the rich knowledge that a life of love brings to people, and thereby they will be stimulated to cultivate faith and love, and thereby strengthened and thus able to offer resistance if the battle of faith also approaches them. One person will have to lift himself up from the other, and the believer will also muster the strength to be a support for the weak believers. And a believing congregation will stand like a bulwark against the onslaught of the world, of faithless people. For the word of God imparts great strength to the believers. The divine will is proclaimed to people through the word of God, Christ's teaching of love is conveyed to them, and anyone who fulfils God's will by living in love will also be permeated by God's strength, and God's strength is insurmountable, thus the believer can face the coming time without worry and also impart strength to those who join, who join the congregation in the will to do what is right before God. The believer will not lose his faith, for whatever spiritual knowledge he possesses which corresponds to the truth he will never ever give away, and this spiritual knowledge has also earned him a profound faith which is now alive, i.e. which carries out works of love through which the human being's spiritual knowledge will increase ever more. Such faith will be unshakeable and therefore also remain in the final battle. Many weak believers will be strengthened by it and unbelievers will change and come to faith, because the strength of faith will be revealed if profound believers request it in order to provide their fellow human beings with the evidence that the word of God is truth and deserves fullest faith....
Amen
TranslatorJedna zajednica vjernika može stvoriti veliki blagoslov usred nevjernika, jer ako oni u potpunosti žive Božju Riječ, i sami na sebi ispunjavaju Božja Obećanja, vjernici će dati živi primjer za Kristovo učenje Ljubavi, i istovremeno dokaz za Istinitost Njegove Riječi, kroz što i nevjernici mogu doći do vjere, ako su oni dobre volje. A ova zajednica vjernika je Kristova Crkva, kroz koju se sada rasprostranjuje Njegova Riječ, jer tko živi u vjeri, ispunjava Božanske zapovijedi, stoga uzima Kristovo učenje Ljubavi za liniju vodilju svojega života, taj će nastojati i svoje bližnje potaknuti na to; on će im predočiti Božju Riječ, on će im propovijedati Ljubav, on će pokušavati učvrstiti njihovu vjeru, i nastojat će ih uključiti u Kristovu Crkvu, zajednicu vjernika, kako bi osvojio njihove duše za Božje kraljevstvo. On će tako raditi za Božje kraljevstvo... A tako jedna zajednica vjernika može vrlo blagotvorno djelovati, i također pripremiti bližnje za nadolazeću borbu vjere. On njima može pružiti dokaz koja snaga leži u vjeri i koje bogato znanje ljudima donosi život u Ljubavi, i oni će time biti potaknuti da njeguju vjeru i Ljubav, i kroz to se osnaže i osposobe da pruže otpor kada i njima priđe borba vjere. Jedan će se morati ohrabriti i podići na drugome, a vjernik će također imati snagu da bude podrška slabovjernome. A zajednica vjernika će poput bedema odolijevati nasrtajima kroz svijet, kroz ljude bez vjere. Jer, Božja Riječ prenosi veliku snagu vjernicima. Božanska volja je ljudima proglašena kroz Božju Riječ, njima je dovedeno Kristovo učenje Ljubavi, i tko ispunjava Božju volju živeći u Ljubavi, također će biti prožet Božjom snagom, a ova je nepobjediva, tako da vjernik može bez brige gledati ususret nadolazeće vrijeme, i također prenijeti snagu onima koji se priključuju, koji pristupaju zajednici u volji da učine ispravno pred Bogom. Vjernik ne gubi njegovu vjeru, jer ono što on posjeduje u duhovnom dobru, odgovara Istini, on to nikada više ne ostavlja, a ovo duhovno dobro mu je također donijelo duboku vjeru koja je sada živa, odnosno vrši djela Ljubavi, čime se duhovno znanje čovjeka sve više povećava. Takva će vjera biti nepokolebljiva, i zato će također izdržati u posljednjoj borbi. Na njemu će se mnogi slabovjerni osnažiti, i nevjernici promijeniti i doći do vjere, jer će snaga vjere biti očigledna, ako ju oni koji duboko vjeruju traže, kako bi bližnjima pružili dokaz da je Božja Riječ Istina i zavrjeđuje najpotpuniju vjeru.
AMEN
