ISUSOVO OBEĆANJE: VJEČNI ŽIVOT....

Vi trebate živjeti u vječnosti.... Život vam međutim može obećati jedino Onaj, Koji je Gospodar nad životom i smrću, Koji je Sam Život od vječnosti, i Koji je nadvladao smrt.... Isus Krist, Sin Božji i Otkupitelj svijeta, Koji je proizašao iz snage Svevišnjega kao samostalno biće, opskrbljen snagom u punoj mjeri, Kojeg je Ljubav nagnala da se liši svoje snage (Filipljanima 2:6, 7), i da se kao slab, bespomoćan čovjek na Zemlji, koji je podlijegao zakonu smrti, bori protiv smrti, i pobijedi ju, kako bi sve ljude oslobodio od robovanja Sotoni, koji ih je držao zarobljenima. Jer, smrt je na svijet donio Sotona. Smrt je nemoćno, mračno stanje, koje je posljedica nekadašnjeg grijeha protiv Boga.... Svjetlo i snaga znače Život, nemoć i tama naprotiv osuđuju biće na otvrdnjavanje (skrućivanje) u neaktivnosti. Ljudi na Zemlji bi morali očekivati ovo ukrućeno stanje nakon svog fizičkog života, oni bi beznadno potonuli u tamu, a sami se odatle ne bi mogli osloboditi.... oni bi išli prema vječnoj smrti, ako im ne bi prišao Spasitelj, Koji je bio jači od smrti, Koji ju je mogao pobijediti, i ljudima iznova dati Život, kojeg su oni izvorno kao duhovna bića posjedovali, i kojega su kroz grijeh nekadašnje pobune protiv Boga izgubili.... (16 Studeni 1951) Izgubili su Život, odnosno sve što ih je činilo sposobnima za usrećujuću aktivnost, budući je Život neprekidna aktivnost u skladu s mudrim Zakonom; Život je korištenje Božanske snage prema Božanskom principu, i zato stanje bezgraničnog blaženstva.

Isus Krist sada obećava ovaj život svim ljudima, ali pod određenim uvjetima. On zaista može dati Život, ali ga ljudi također moraju žudjeti i činiti sve, kako bi sebe učinili dostojnima istinskog Života, života u duhovnom kraljevstvu. Oni moraju htjeti izaći iz stanja smrti, oni moraju snagu, koja im osigurava vječni Život, uzeti u posjed, oni moraju stupiti u vezu s Izvorom snage, oni se moraju s Isusom Kristom boriti protiv smrti njihovih duša, i pobijediti ju, što je sada s Isusom Kristom moguće. Jer, smrt duše je to čega se oni moraju bojati, budući je smrt tijela nevažna, no duša, (ono) stvarno u čovjeku, ne propada, ona jedino može pasti u stanje potpunog odsustva snage i svjetla, stoga u duhovnu smrt, do nemjerljive, beskrajne agonije (bola, muke)....

Ali vi trebate živjeti.... Kako utješne su to riječi za čovjeka.... Isus Krist ne želi da se susretnete sa smrću, On želi da vi živite, i On vam je obećao ovaj Život.... jer njega vam može dati jedino On, Koji je nadvladao smrt. No, vaša volja je slobodna.... Ne zaboravite da vi možete sve postići, da ništa nije nemoguće, da vam je Isus Krist također primakao sva sredstva i načine, no da vi sami morate htjeti, jer vam protiv vaše volje ne može dati ništa, što vas treba učiniti blaženima. Vječni Život je najljepše Obećanje koje vam je On mogao dati, da iščezava sav strah od smrti, da pred vama leži neizrecivo blažena budućnost, koja će trajati beskrajno, ako vi sami to želite i ispunite uvjete koje je Isus Krist vezao za Svoja Obećanja.... da vi u Njega vjerujete.... Jer, onda ćete svi vi udovoljavati Njegovoj Riječi, vi ćete ispuniti Njegove Zapovijedi, vi ćete živjeti prema Njegovom Božanskom Učenju Ljubavi, i u sebi prikupljati Božansku snagu, Ljubav će vas probuditi u Život, čak i ako vam tjelesna snaga oslabi i vaš se omotač približi tjelesnoj smrti. Duša će se onda osloboditi, ona će u svoj snazi probiti granicu smrti, ona će se osloboditi iz sveza onoga, koji vam je htio dati smrt, ona će biti blaženo svjesna svoje snage, i sada će moći biti neprestano aktivna, primit će ju duhovno kraljevstvo, gdje je jedino Ljubav, gdje je sve suštinsko aktivno u Božjoj volji, gdje se neprestano rađa novi Život, gdje više za vječnost nema smrti.... gdje je sve blaženo u Isusu Kristu i s Njim.

AMEN

Promise of Jesus: eternal life....

You shall live for ever and ever.... But life can only be promised to you by Him Who is lord over life and death, Who Himself is life from eternity and Who has conquered death.... Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world, Who came forth from the strength of the most high as an independent being, equipped with strength in full measure, Whose love moved Him to bare His strength and, as a weak helpless human being on earth, Who was subject to the law of death, to fight against death and to defeat it in order to liberate all people held captive by satan from his bondage. For death had been brought into the world by satan. Death is a powerless dark state that is the consequence of the former sin against God.... Light and strength mean life, powerlessness and darkness, on the other hand, condemn the being to stagnation in inactivity. People on earth would have to expect this rigid state after their physical life, they would sink hopelessly into darkness and would not be able to free themselves from it.... they would face eternal death unless a saviour approached them Who was stronger than death, Who was able to defeat it and give people the life again which they had possessed in the beginning as spiritual beings and which they had lost through the sin of their former rebellion against God.... (16.11.1951) Life had been lost to them, i.e. everything that enabled them to be happily active, for life is incessant activity according to wise law; life is the use of divine strength according to divine principle and therefore a state of unlimited bliss.

Jesus Christ promises this life to all people, but under certain conditions. He can certainly give life, but people must also desire it and do everything to make themselves worthy of true life, of life in the spiritual kingdom. They must want out of the state of death, they must take possession of the strength which secures eternal life for them, they must make contact with the source of strength, they must fight the death of their souls with Jesus Christ and defeat it, which is only possible with Jesus Christ. For it is the death of the soul they must fear, because the death of the body is unimportant, but the soul, the essence in the human being, does not perish, only in a state of complete lack of strength and light, i.e. spiritual death, it can become a slave to immeasurable, endless torment....

But you shall live.... What comforting words these are for you humans.... Jesus Christ does not want you to meet death, He wants you to live, and He has promised you this life.... because He alone can give it to you, Who has overcome death. But your will is free.... Don't forget that you can achieve everything, that there is nothing impossible, that Jesus Christ has also shown you all ways and means, but that you must want it yourselves, because what is to make you blissfully happy cannot be given to you against your will. Eternal life is the most beautiful promise He could give you, that all fear of death will disappear, that an unspeakably blissful future lies ahead of you which will last forever if you want it yourselves and fulfil the conditions Jesus Christ attached to His promise.... that you believe in Him.... For then you will comply with all His words, you will fulfil His commandments, you will live according to His divine teaching of love and accumulate divine strength within yourselves, love will awaken you to life even if the body's strength weakens and your shell approaches bodily death. The soul will then release itself, it will break through the barrier of death with all its strength, it will free itself from the bonds of the one who wanted to give you death, it will become blissfully aware of its strength and now be able to be constantly active, the spiritual kingdom will receive it where there is only life, where all beingness is active in God's will, where new life is constantly generated, where there is eternally no more death.... where everything is blissfully happy in and with Jesus Christ....

Amen
