3556 Faith in Jesus Christ.... struggle....

September 23, 1945: Book 45

The faith in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world will be severely tested, but it will remain, it will not be able to be eradicated despite all the efforts of the world.... It will be championed by the small flock of the faithful full of courage and determination, for Jesus Christ Himself gives them the strength to represent His name and His teaching, to confess Him before the world. Without Jesus Christ there is no salvation, for the power of hell is too great and gains control over people who are not helped by an even greater power, by Jesus Christ, Who, as a true child of God on earth, took upon Himself the death of the cross in order to break the power of evil. Only through Him can the human being find salvation from the shackles of those, and only he who believes in Him can be redeemed, only he who believes in Him calls upon Him for help, for the strengthening of his will, and he is able to wrest himself from God's power of the adversary. And therefore God will never allow faith in Jesus Christ to be lost, to be eradicated by human will which is only the executor of satanic will. And as soon as faith is in serious danger of being sacrificed by people for the sake of the world, God will break the power of satan Himself, for he fights against Him with inadmissible means.... he seeks to withhold the knowledge of God, His love and His act of salvation from people, and thus this is a constraint of the human being's free will who has to know about both works in order to be able to make a decision. And therefore the end will come as soon as serious action is taken against faith. Therefore this last battle will mean a severe test for the believers, yet they will remain victorious because Jesus Christ Himself fights with them, because He imparts strength to all who want to be faithful to Him, who take refuge in Him and entrust themselves to Him in profound faith to find salvation with Him. In confessing the name of Jesus and His teaching of love, the human being decides and finally renounces His opposition. But to do so he has to muster a strength of will which he will never have on his own; yet if he confesses the divine redeemer before the world his will is already strengthened by Him, Who died on the cross in order to redeem people from their weakness of will, in order to buy them a strong will with His blood. And no-one need fear not being able to pass the final battle, for as soon as he believes in Jesus Christ and wants to fight for His name he belongs to the small flock whose courage to confess will grow the more difficult the earthly adversity approaches him, for this is God's working in him, that the power of the spirit overcomes him, which again can only be effective in faith in Jesus Christ, which lifts him above all earthly hardship, makes him strong and able to defy the world and its demands, which lets him fight the last battle with success and brings him the final victory. And faith will remain until the end of the world, and Jesus Christ will be preached again on the new earth as the son of God and redeemer of the world.......

Amen
