Consequences of observing as well as not observing divine order....

Fulfil the law from eternity, and you will live forever.... The former means living according to God's will, which is the basis of His law of order, and thereby finding union with God, Who guarantees eternal life. And thus the Lawgiver must first be recognised and acknowledged, the human being must subordinate himself to His law, he must want what God wants, thus freely submit his will to divine will and thus express his complete belonging to God and push towards Him in free will. Then the resistance is broken, which made the spiritual embodied as a human being remain in separation from God for an infinitely long time.... But separation from Him is death, union with Him life.... And anyone who has once found union with Him as a human being will in eternity no longer be separated from the eternal love, Which draws everything to Itself that does not fundamentally resist It. But it is of particular merit for a person if he endeavours to do more on earth than is his actual task.... not only to work on his own upward development, thus to live in accordance with God's will, but also to make the salvation of his fellow human beings his concern and to take on a task which is extremely beneficial because it is work for the kingdom of God. The task consists of presenting the divine will to fellow human beings and showing them the path that leads to the aim, to union with God. Thus, man must be instructed of the consequences of observing as well as of not observing the divine order, so that he may now strive for eternal life and not succumb to death. This is a mission which thoroughly corresponds to the divine will, but which is not commanded to man, but is purely an act of free will. Therefore, it is an increased degree of love for God and his neighbour which determines the human being to offer himself to God for this mission, and his will is doubly valued by God and rewarded accordingly on earth already through the extraordinary grant of grace, which in turn impels and also enables the human being to carry out the teaching ministry associated with this work. The gift of grace, however, is the divine word which places the human being in elevated knowledge and trains him for this teaching activity. Consequently, the day must undoubtedly come for a person who receives the word of God directly from Him when his mission starts, and a person who receives the divine word directly is certainly also called by God when the time has come for his activity on earth, for his work for the kingdom of God. (13.7.1947) For only when people are given knowledge of God's will, of the law of eternal order, can they be called to account. But until this knowledge is made accessible to them, they cannot be charged with wrongdoing if they violate the divine commandment. Therefore you must be diligently active as labourers for the Lord's vineyard and seek to convey the gospel to your fellow human beings.... to make divine will known to them in order to thereby lend them assistance if they are in great spiritual hardship and neither know the meaning and purpose of earthly life nor the urgency of a life in accordance with God's will. Only then can they fulfil the law, only then can they enter into union with God and receive extraordinary grace. And blessed are those who still receive the word of God before the general disintegration, for it will be easy for them to get to know the law of God and they will bring great blessings to those who are still dead in spirit. For these can be awakened to life and secure eternal life for themselves in the spiritual kingdom....

Amen

POSLJEDICE POŠTOVANJA KAO I NEPOŠTOVANJA BOŽANSKOG REDA

Ispunjavajte zakon od vječnosti i živjet ćete u vječnosti.... Ovo prvo znači živjeti po Božjoj Volji, u kojoj je utemeljen Njegov zakon reda, i time pronaći sjedinjenje s Bogom, što jamči vječni život. Tako da prvo mora biti prepoznat i priznat zakonodavac, čovjek se mora podložiti Njegovom zakonu, mora htjeti ono što hoće Bog, dakle svoju volju slobodno mora podrediti Božanskoj volji i time jasno pokazati svoju bezrezervnu pripadnost Bogu i težiti Mu u slobodnoj volji. Tada je slomljen otpor, koji je činio da ono duhovno koje je utjelovljeno kao čovjek beskrajno dugo vrijeme bude držano odvojeno od Boga.... A odvojenost od Boga je smrt, (dok je) pripojenost Njemu život.... I tko je sad kao čovjek s Njim pronašao sjedinjenost, taj vječno više neće biti razdvojen od vječne Ljubavi, koja na sebe privlači sve što joj se u principu ne protivi.

E sad, od posebne je zasluge za čovjeka ako se potrudi na Zemlji činiti više nego što je to njegov stvarni zadatak.... ne samo da radi na svom vlastitom usponu, dakle da živi u skladu s Božjom voljom, nego da se isto tako stara i o spasenju duša (duševnom zdravlju) bližnjih ljudi i preuzima zadatak koji je izrazito blagotvoran, budući da je to posao za Kraljevstvo Božje. Taj zadatak se sastoji u tome da se bližnjima predoči Božanska volja i da im se ukaže put koji vodi do cilja, do sjedinjenja s Bogom. Dakle čovjek mora biti podučen posljedicama poštivanja kao i nepoštivanja Božanskog reda, kako bi on onda težio vječnom životu a ne se sručio u smrt.

To je misija koja je skroz u skladu s Božjom voljom, ali koja čovjeku nije zapovjeđena, nego je čisto čin slobodne volje. Ona je dakle viši stupanj Ljubavi prema Bogu i prema bližnjemu, koja čovjeka potiče da se Bogu ponudi za tu misiju, i njegova volja će od Boga biti duplo vrjednovana i u skladu s tim nagrađena već na Zemlji putem izvanredne dostave milosti, koja čovjeka opet potiče a i omogućava da sprovodi s tim povezanu službu naučavanja.

A dostava milosti je Božanska Riječ, koja čovjeka izdiže u više znanje i oprema ga za aktivnost naučavanja. Posljedično, i za čovjeka koji Riječ Božju prima direktno od Njega, sasvim izvjesno mora doći dan kad počinje njegova misija, i zasigurno je čovjek koji Riječ Božju prima direktno od Boga pozvan na djelovanje za Kraljevstvo Božje, jednom kad je došao trenutak za njegovu aktivnost na Zemlji.

(13 Srpanj 1947) Jer tek kad su ljudi upoznati s Božjom voljom, sa zakonom vječnog reda, oni mogu biti pozvani na odgovornost. No prije nego im se dostavi to znanje, ne može im se uračunati kao nepravda ako krše Božanski zakon. Zato vi kao radnici za Gospodnji vinograd morate biti revno aktivni i vašim bližnjima se truditi prenijeti Evanđelje.... objavljivati im Božansku volju, kako bi im time pomogli, ako su u najvećoj duhovnoj nevolji i niti znaju o smislu i svrsi zemaljskog života, niti o hitnosti života po Božjoj volji.

Tek tada mogu ispuniti zakon, tek tada mogu stupiti u savez s Bogom i primiti izvanrednu milost. I blaženi oni koji još prije općeg raspada u sebi prime Riječ Božju, jer njima će lako pasti upoznati Riječ Božju i oni će prouzročiti veliki blagoslov kod onih koji su još mrtvi u duhu. Jer ovi mogu biti probuđeni u život i osigurati si vječni život u Duhovnom Kraljevstvu....
