Dead faith becomes apparent in times of need....

It will soon become clear to you how weak the faith of those is who only profess Me in name, who live without love. They will take offence at the events which are badly affecting people, and they will begin to doubt Me.... of a being Which is supposed to be exceedingly powerful and wise and does not protect people from the elements of nature and from the arbitrariness of satanic people.... They only possess a dead faith, a formal faith which completely fails in times of adversity. And therefore they also have no anchor to hold on to, and now the lack of love proves itself, which soon causes this faith to be completely lost.... now the truth proves itself that only love awakens faith to life, but that a living faith also guarantees full understanding for everything that happens, because love also kindles the light of realization in the human being and he now also knows about the correlations, about cause and effect and above all about the near end. And if your fellow human beings confess their doubts about God to you, then point out to them why they cannot firmly believe in Me and My ever-ready help.... Seriously remind them of My commandment of love, which I gave to people as the first and most important commandment because I want to bring their faith to such strength that it will endure all adversity without wavering.... because I want to convey understanding to people, because I want to kindle the light of knowledge in them, but without love such is not possible. Nevertheless, people should make a clear decision in the coming adversity.... they should become aware of their weak faith and then either try to strengthen this faith.... which they can certainly succeed in doing if they let their heart rather than their intellect speak.... or they completely turn away from Me, that they deny Me and turn to My adversary, that they further increase their fellow human beings' hardship through their own unkind actions.... but then they will also have to face the fate of the one who is My adversary and who does everything in his power to push people away from Me. The coming events will be tests of faith for all people.... My own will also be afraid and anxiously call out to Me; but they will call out because they believe in Me. And I will stand by them because of their faith.... But those who no longer have the certainty within themselves that I am and that I can help them and therefore do not approach Me for help either, these will openly deny Me, and thus the hitherto dead faith will be revealed.... It will become obvious how little and how rarely a living faith is striven for despite fine words, despite churches and preachers.... It will all turn out to be empty shells that do not contain a core. And it will prove where this church is that I founded on earth.... where the believers are to be found who have a strong faith like Peter.... The rock of faith is the sole emblem of My church, which nothing can shake.... And this faith will have to prove itself in times to come....

Amen

죽은 믿음은 환란의 때에 드러나게 된다.

내 이름을 단지 고백하고 사랑을 행하지 않고 사는 사람들의 믿음이 얼마나 약한 지를 곧 알게 될 것이다. 그들은 사람들을 심하게 괴롭히는 사건으로 불쾌하게 되고 나를 의심하기 시작할 것이고 아주 강력하고 현명한 존재가 자연의 원소와 사탄적인 사람들의 악의로부터 사람들을 보호하지 않는다고 그를 의심하기 시작할 것이다. 그들은 단지 죽은 믿음인 형식적인 믿음을 가지고 있고 이런 믿음은 환란의 때에 완전히 실패하게 된다.

그러므로 그들은 붙잡을 수 있는 닻도 없고 자신에게 이제 사랑이 없다는 것이 드러나고 곧 이런 믿음을 완전히 잃게 되고 단지 사랑이 믿음을 생명으로 깨어나게 하는 진리가 드러나고 생명력이 있는 믿음이 일어나는 모든 일을 완전히 이해하도록 보장한다는 진리가 드러난다. 왜냐면 사랑이 사람 안에 깨달음의 빛을 밝혀주고 생명력이 있는 믿음이 또한 모든 일어나는 일을 전적으로 이해하는 일을 보장하고 연관관계와 원인과 결과를 알게 해주고 무엇보다 가까운 종말을 알게 해주기 때문이다.

이웃이 이제 너희에게 하나님에 대한 그들의 의심을 고백하면 그들이 왜 나와 항상 준비 된 내 도움을 굳게 믿지 못하는 지에 주의를 기울이게 하라. 그들에게 진지하게 내 사랑의 계명을 알려주라. 나는 내 사랑의 계명을 첫 번째요 가장 중요한 계명으로 그들에게 주었다. 왜냐면 내가 그들이 모든 어려움을 흔들림이 없이 견딜 수 있는 강한 믿음을 갖게 해주기를 원하고 내가 깨달음의 빛으로 그들을 밝혀주기를 원하고 그들 안에 깨달음의 빛을 밝혀주기를 원하지만 그러나 사랑이 없이는 이런 일이 불가능하기 때문이다.

아멘
