The path through earthly existence is the only possibility to shape the being to such an extent that it can recognize God in the stage as man and is therefore able to imagine something being-like and to make contact with this being-like. The being must now also utilize this ability in order to establish the connection with God. being able to recognize and wanting to affirm.... that is the purpose of the being's stay on earth. The former is a gift of grace from God. But the being must want to affirm the deity as man himself. God can never release him from this, as otherwise the purpose on earth would be missed, which consists in the activity of the will. But the realization of the origin and the goal also allows the will to become active, consequently God's grace is indeed indirectly helpful to the human being to also will.... but the slightest resistance to it renders divine grace ineffective, and resistance is wrong will. The will will always express itself in the embodiment as man, only often the other way round, i.e. in a God-opposed sense, although everything that surrounds man bears witness to the divine creator and this therefore should be enough to also let the will become active in the right way. If God's grace would also direct this will in divine order then the world would be redeemed, for then there would truly no longer be a being to whom divine love would not want to bestow this grace. Hence all people would have to come to realization during their earthly existence and all people would have to strive towards God.... Or God would have to be denied excessive love and mercy if He let one or the other being fall and therefore did not cause them to want the right thing. Such erroneous views often arise among people, and it is far more difficult to remove such an error from the world than to spread it in the world. But in order to be able to recognize God, the lie, the error, must absolutely be eliminated, because a confused thinking of man does not contribute to directing the will towards God. God has to be recognized as infinitely loving, wise and omnipotent, only then will faith be present, only then will love for this supremely perfect being become active and out of this love also love for His living creations. Only then will man be able to recognize and will God correctly of his own accord, and only then will he be able to redeem himself completely from the bondage that was the result of his wrong will....

Amen
