Book 82 · BD 7906–7911
"He who believes in Me …."
B.D. 7906 from May 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 82
Again and again you will be informed that My promise will be fulfilled which states that anyone who believes in Me will attain eternal life …. but that you must live in a living faith in order to partake of this promise. And this in turn means that you have to live in love if you want to attain a living faith …. Love therefore guarantees you eternal life, for it gives birth to a living faith. But I must demand such faith from you, for if this firm inner conviction is not within you then you cannot understand the significance of the act of salvation either …. Then you will only be guided by words, you will speak of faith but in truth you will not possess it …. because you lack the knowledge of all correlations, a knowledge which only earns you a life of love …. Without love you can only speak of a dead faith, of words which lack the deep inner conviction …. You just don’t dare to contradict a doctrine of faith which is offered to you, but it gives you no enlightenment, and thus you would also never be able to stand up for such a doctrine if this was demanded of you. I have given you the promise: ‘He who believes in Me has eternal life ….” But you first have to deal with what I want to be understood by ‘faith in Me’ …. You have to think through what you are told about Me and My act of salvation and take a stand on it, and only then will it become clear whether you are able to believe everything, whether you are fully convinced that it is as you are taught or whether you have inner doubts. And this examination must be undertaken in all seriousness on your part. And then the degree of love plays a major role in what you are able to ‘believe’ …. Anyone who lives in love does not doubt, for the significance of the act of salvation and the mission of the man Jesus on earth is clear to him …. He knows that Jesus sacrificed Himself for the sake of humanity’s sins and understands the divine redeemer’s act of mercy …. He acknowledges Him as his redeemer and also knows that he cannot become blessed without the act of salvation …. He himself makes use of the graces of the act of salvation …. he believes in Me and can therefore come into the blessing of My promise …. for his faith is alive, it is not a dead form …. it is not a figure of speech, it is not words uttered only by the mouth …. It is felt alive in the heart, and such faith will also have an effect, it will be expressed in works of love, because love does not let the human being remain inactive but again and again expresses itself in works. And beatitude …. eternal life …. I can only give to someone who has changed to love and whose faith is also alive. All My words are spirit and life …. And thus the promises are truth and will be fulfilled, but I also require the right spiritual attitude towards them …. I cannot give beatitude and life to those who have not yet seriously striven for it, who have no inner contact with Me but which love establishes …. Then faith will also be right, and then the human being will also strive for perfection on earth, for he will have recognized Me by virtue of his love and faith and will long to return to Me again, from Whom he once originated. And then every promise I made to people when I lived on earth will truly be fulfilled in him. But a dead faith will not result in spiritual success, in a dead faith the human being will not strive spiritually on earth …. Although he does not contradict the doctrines of faith which are brought to him, he will not be able to convincingly uphold them as truth either, because he lacks the spiritual knowledge to do so as long as he lacks love. Without love, however, there is no life either, because love is the strength which allows for activity, and because ‘life’ means being able to be constantly active in God’s will …. to be able to work in light and strength as My child and to be immeasurably happy …._>Amen

Becoming God's 'children' …. Childship to God ….
B.D. 7907 from June 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82
At no time ever will I withdraw My love from you, even if you voluntarily stay away from Me …. one day you will return to Me again because My love will not abandon you. And I will always also give you the evidence of My love, I will take care of and provide for you when you live on earth as human beings, because I want to gain your love which will unite you with Me again as in the beginning. Thus you should never doubt My love …. But your love determines the degree of your proximity to Me, it solely depends on your love whether and when the unification with Me will take place. And you demonstrate your love to Me by the degree of your neighbourly love, which you should constantly increase if you want to become perfect. And that, in turn, necessitates that you completely relinquish your selfish love, that you strive to become engrossed in love for your neighbour, that you unselfishly help your neighbour …. Then you will come ever closer to Me, for with every deed of love you draw Me to yourselves, you ascend with every deed of love and establish the bond with the Eternal Love …. Then I can be in you Myself, My love will be able to permeate you as in the beginning, you will have become and will remain My children for all eternity ….
And your purpose of earthly life is that you, who once came forth from Me as ‘living creations’, shape yourselves into ‘children’. Since you took the path through the abyss and became completely devoid of love as a result of your past apostasy from Me, it is a difficult task to shape yourselves of your own free will into love again.
It requires a strong will which has to be put into action. The strength to do so repeatedly has to be acquired through love or requested from Me through heartfelt prayer …. Hence it is not enough just to make declarations of love to Me, but it also requires deeds of love in order to receive this strength, but then it also results in a steady move towards Me.
As soon as a person voluntarily opens his heart in order to allow himself to be illuminated by the strength of My love his heart will be ever more willing to love, and one day he will achieve his objective: he will attain the childship to God as soon as his life is an uninterrupted activity of love in utter unselfishness ….
But only few will achieve this degree of love on earth, because a person’s own Self still comes first, because it requires great effort for the human being to give up all wishes and longings for the sake of the next person; since the soul has to purify itself completely during its earthly life, and this requires a high degree of love and frequently a considerable measure of suffering too, so that the soul is entirely purged when it departs from this earth. Then they will have matured into true children of God and have already found unification with Me on earth, they will have shaped themselves of their own free will into ‘children’, which I could not create for Myself …. But anyone who seriously strives for this, who time and again in profound humility pleads for My blessing, who already feels like My child, will not slow down in his endeavour and reach his goal ….
But he has to be filled by love for Me, not by the desire for utmost beatitude …. and his love for Me will then also constantly heighten the degree of neighbourly love …. However, he only demonstrates his love for Me through his neighbourly love …. I want to teach you all to become My children, and all of you should also feel as if you were My children, otherwise you won’t establish the right kind of relationship with your Father of eternity, from Whose love you emerged. You just should not forget that you are on earth in order to become My children, and that you therefore constantly have to make an effort …. But once you are My children then I can and will take you from earth, because then you will have achieved the goal for which I created everything …. utmost perfection in free will ….
I repeatedly have to bring this difference home to you in order to motivate you into utmost striving, for as long as you walk across this earth My adversary also has an influence on you, and as long as My adversary can still influence you he will also know how to stop you from becoming completely engrossed in neighbourly love, because as long as unspiritual substances are still in you, your body still has earthly longings, your selfish love has not yet been entirely conquered, and the human being still has to fight against these. But completely rising above them also ensures him a high degree of love, and then the unity with Me can take place, then the Father will draw His child to Him and will never ever leave it again ….
Amen

The end time justifies the gifts of grace ….
B.D. 7908 from June 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82
It is an unmerited act of grace that you humans may hear the Word from above, for in the time shortly before the end the human race will have reached a spiritual low level which will necessitate a disintegration of the earthly creation, a transformation and new embodiment of all still constrained spiritual substances as well as the souls which presently live on earth as human beings and, for the most part, are failing in their test of earthly life. People therefore don’t strive towards unity with Me of their own accord, they keep their distance from Me and, in their rejection, are not worthy of being spoken to by Me …. It is therefore an extraordinary grace that I nevertheless lean down and speak to people, that I also allow My Word to be given to those who keep away from Me. Hence I forget about their state of unworthiness, I pursue those people who turn away from Me precisely because the time of the end has come and because this end signifies a renewed banishment into matter for many human souls which I would still like to avert while there is still time …. I call and coax, I let My light ray of love shine in all places, I touch people’s hearts with this ray purely in order to make them come to their senses, accept and ponder My Words in their hearts and then live their lives accordingly …. I just don’t want them to go astray for an infinitely long time again …. And this great risk exists, for only a few people have a living faith in Me which will protect them from the downfall when the hour of the end has come. For this reason My love grants you this final gift of grace, even though you do not deserve it …. And you need only not reject it when My servants want to convey My Word to you …. Listen to them and reflect without inner resistance on what I say to you …. Then you will also be able to gain faith in your God and Creator which will not be a blind faith …. And soon you will feel My love in you as well, because you will not dismiss the impression of thoughts coming to you because you will sense that they correspond to the truth. Simply let go of your inner resistance and you will be saved for time and eternity.
Listen to Me …. and the strength of My Word will take effect in you, because My Word will illuminate you with divine strength of love …. You won’t hear empty human words when My messengers bring My gifts of grace to you …. Human words are easily discarded, but the Words of God exert an influence, provided that the human being does not fight this influence. Therefore I do not expect anything else of you than to listen to Me when I come to you Myself in the Words conveyed to you by My messengers …. I do not ask for anything other than that you do not turn away in indignation, but to think about it for once …. And I will truly help you to recognise the truth of My Word, your heart will feel addressed by Me and your thoughts will gradually turn towards Me, your resistance will grow weaker and the strength of My Word will begin to take effect in you. Simply surrender your resistance and, truly, I Myself will look after every individual person and convey to him Words of love and grace, Words of support and comfort, Words of wisdom, according to his soul’s need so that it will recognise Me Myself in the Words brought to people by My messengers. For verily, I say to you: it is the time of the end …. And time and again My love and mercy approaches you anew and wants to protect you from the fate of a renewed banishment when the end has come …. And therefore I will still shower you with My gifts of grace and will still try to gain anyone whose heart is not yet entirely hardened for Me and My kingdom …. I will try to reveal Myself to him as the most loving God and Father of eternity and he will truly be affected by the ray of My love. He will be able to recognise My Word as the Father’s voice Who wants to help His child, Who wants to protect it from the abyss, Who still wants to save it before the end has come ….
Amen

The significance of Holy Communion ….
B.D. 7909 from June 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82
How often has the significance of Holy Communion been explained to you already, how often has the offering of My flesh and My blood been described to you as the offering of My Word …. How often have I told you that I Myself Am the Word of eternity, that I offer Myself to you, that you eat My flesh and drink My blood when you accept My Word in your heart …. Your soul needs nourishment which will help to heal and strengthen it, since prior to that it is sick and weak …. It must be fed with the bread of heaven and be given the water of life. It needs healthy nourishment which only I Myself can administer, for it must be spiritually fed, it must accept food from the spiritual kingdom. And this is why you must partake of the Supper at My table with your host, Who invites all of you to come to Him and let yourselves be fed by Him. Your soul shall receive bread and wine, My flesh and My blood is the proper nourishment, and thus it accepts Me Myself when it accepts My Word which I Myself convey to the soul from above. For regardless of whether I speak to it directly or whether it accepts My Word through My servants …. I always break the bread Myself, I always give the water of life Myself, and then it will always partake of My Supper at My table, which is richly laden so that no soul wanting to be My guest will lack nourishment. Yet by this I do not mean an outward practice, I Am not satisfied with the fact that you perform external rituals and acts in the belief that I Myself will then be within you, that you unite yourselves with Me when you take part in the ceremonies which you understand as the Lord’s Supper, as Holy Communion …. They will only ever remain mere external acts and rituals if you do not wholeheartedly desire to hear My Word, to be addressed by Me …. if your soul does not hunger and thirst for the bread of heaven and the water of life: for My Word ….
For I Myself Am My Word, and only when you are seized by great longing for My Word can you say that you intimately unite yourselves with Me and take Supper with Me, for only then will I be able to offer you bread and wine …. My flesh and My blood …. Only then will you have come to My table in order to take Supper with Me, then you will receive Me Myself, as I have promised …. I Am the Word …. And the Word has become flesh …. And thus you should understand My Words correctly which I spoke on earth ‘Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life ….’ Only the person who hears My Word and allows the strength of My Word to affect him can attain eternal life, for his soul will heal, it will mature fully, through My Word it will know My will, and My Word will provide it with the strength to live in accordance with My will …. hence it will not just hear My Word but also live it and gain the true life, which it will never be able to lose again …. And because I know how urgently you humans need nourishment for your soul I send My messengers into the world and invite everyone to come as guests to My table and take Communion with Me …. And no-one will need to leave My table hungry, for it is richly laden for all those who come to Me with the desire to receive food and drink from Me …. I have wholesome food and a health-giving drink waiting for all of you, but you must come to Me yourselves, hunger and thirst must drive you to Me, then your soul will receive refreshment; time and again it will fortify itself anew for its pilgrimage on this earth, it will not exhaustedly fall by the wayside, for time and again it will be offered nourishment as soon as it desires it, as soon as it closely unites with Me and requests to be fed by Me …. I Myself will come to you, I will knock at the door of your heart and with anyone who willingly lets Me in I will indeed take Holy Communion and he with Me …. However, do not believe that you can find Me where only outward formalities are being observed …. where you close your ears to My Word which comes to you from above, for anyone who does not listen to My Word does not listen to Me Myself either; anyone who rejects My Word rejects Me Myself and his soul will remain without nourishment. It will have to starve and enter the spiritual kingdom in an immature and poor state when the hour of death arrives ….
Amen

Doctrine of damnation is misguided teaching ….
B.D. 7910 from June 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82
Do not fear to become lost when you carry Me in your heart …. do not believe that an avenging God will punish you for your sins, that He has no mercy, that He will condemn you forever …. I Am a God of love and mercy, and will always help you to ascend from the abyss into which you plunged yourselves of your own free will. As a result of your sins you have placed yourselves into a wretched state; you created the state of suffering you find yourselves in …. Yet I will always support you to find your way back out of the abyss, time after time I will help you to become blessed again as you were in the beginning. You wanted the evil yourselves and drew it close to you, the effect of your past voluntary aspiration and action could never be happiness but has resulted in a miserable state ….
But your God and Father loves you because you came forth from His love …. and this love will never cease. Hence it will always endeavour to encourage you back, it will do everything to grant you a blissful fate, but it does require your free will. Since you once left Me voluntarily, since you once burdened yourselves with a grave sin, you also have to return to Me of your own free will again, you have to realise your guilt, you have to regret it and ask Me for forgiveness …. and everything will be as it was in the beginning, you will be blissfully happy in your relationship with Me …. Thus you may always believe in a God of love and mercy …. for although I Am also a righteous God I will nevertheless not leave you to your self-chosen destiny or inflict punishments on you …. It is therefore wrong to say that I condemn you for your sins …. instead I meet this attitude with the act of My love and compassion: My sacrificial death on the cross on behalf of your sins. If I wanted to condemn you eternally for your past guilt of sin My act of Salvation truly would not have been necessary. But I gave you the proof of My love and mercy …. I sacrificed Myself, I died for you, I surrendered My life on the cross for your guilt of sin ….
From this alone you can see that the doctrine of eternal damnation is a misguided doctrine, because My act of Salvation proves the opposite …. it gives evidence to you of a God of love and mercy, Who sacrifices Himself in order to redeem your guilt, Who therefore will not ever eternally condemn you …. A punishing God is not the true image of Me and My Being, I Am love and will never plunge My living beings into even greater misery than they already experienced through their apostasy from Me …. I want to regain them and therefore took their guilt upon Myself in order to redeem it, because I took pity on the destiny of the fallen souls and I wanted to help them to ascend.
But the living creation …. the human being in the last stage on earth …. can also refuse to accept My mercy and remain obstinately far away from Me, then he will stay wretched indeed and create his own fate of damnation which, however, he can stop at any time by merely approaching Me, by acknowledging My act of Salvation and by calling upon it …. He will always find in Me a loving Father Who wants to help His child, Who Himself longs for His child and will at all times support him …. He merely respects the free will of the child and does not force it to return. But then it will suffer an unhappy fate until the voluntary return to Me has taken place ….
I AM a God of love and mercy …. But righteousness, which is part of My perfect nature too, does not permit Me to provide you with a blissful fate since it was your own fault that you became sinful …. You first have to accept the atonement of your guilt through My salvation, you have to acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ and want to belong to those for whom I shed My blood on the cross …. And truly, you will no longer speak of a God of wrath, Who condemns you mercilessly …. You will experience My love on yourselves, for He Who took your past guilt of sin upon Himself and atoned it, wants to unite with you again and permeate you with His strength of love, and you will be and remain blissfully happy for all eternity ….
Amen

Transformation from death into life ….
B.D. 7911 from June 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82
I guide all that is dead into life …. For the origin of everything in existence was life …. It was a state of constant activity in light and strength, for the strength of My love …. the foundation of everything in existence …. also permeated that which emerged from Me as a being, and this strength had to become effective in continuous activity. This activity consisted of constantly creating; however, the kind of creations cannot be explained to you since they were spiritual creations which your still limited thinking is unable to grasp. But it was active, and this activity was the evidence of ´life´ …. When the beings turned away from Me, when they opposed My strength of love, they gradually fell into a state of inactivity, and thus their state of life became a state of death …. They hardened within their substance and became immobile, rigid and incapable of all activity …. But then they could no longer be called happy …. And countless beings are still in this state of death, which once came forth from Me in all perfection, which were abundantly happy because they were able to be effective in light and strength without restriction …. but which nevertheless voluntarily gave up their perfection when they opposed Me and rejected My illumination of love, when they followed My adversary …. who, as My first-created being, also detached himself from Me …. into the abyss. Hence their state of life became a state of death …. However, I will not leave them in this state forever, I will try to bring the dead back to life and will not rest until I have reached My goal that everything which had once fallen away from Me has returned to Me …. until it has come alive again. But this process of return to Me will take an infinitely long time, which certainly will come to an end one day but the duration of it is determined by the being itself. For I have to take free will into account, which is the possession of every being as a sign of its Divinity and which therefore also determines the form and duration of the process of return. Everything you see around you, thus every work of creation, only emerged for the purpose of this process of return, for I devised a plan of Salvation which My love and wisdom recognised as successful and which is implemented by My power. I want to bring everything that is dead back to life.
And that means that all that which is rigid, all that which is incapable of activity, must gradually be allowed to become active again. But this is now decided by Me Myself, because I restrained the formerly rebellious will for a certain time of higher development so that it slowly returns to a state of ´life´ although in a state of compulsion …. i.e., during this time it has no free will, but has to move according to My will, in order to then, after an infinitely long path of development, reach a state of free will once again. And this process of development involves passing through all creations on earth …. it is a process which becomes understandable to you if you imagine that every work of creation is animated by individual substances of soul, which formerly belonged to the once fallen being and which, in its dead state, was dissolved into countless tiny particles, which thus carry out their designated task within the creations according to My will …. according to the divine law of nature …. You humans are only intended to get a rough idea of what Creation fundamentally consists of …. you should know that it did not arbitrarily arise without meaning and purpose but that it has a tremendously significant purpose indeed: to contribute towards awakening all that which is dead into life …. For that which once deserted Me were beings which I externalised as images of Myself, which I wanted to make supremely happy and, at the same time, find My happiness therein as well …. They had been My love´s living creations, which I will never abandon and which I also want to help out of their self-inflicted state of death, which I want to guide into everlasting life …. And since My love for My once created beings has not diminished I will not slacken in My efforts to bring these dead creatures back to life. Yet one day they will also receive their free will again, and then they will have to complete the work of My love themselves …. They must strive towards Me again of their own free will, just as they once turned away from Me …. Thus they must choose a state of life themselves, for their final perfection is not determined by My but by their will. And if this will fails, then the being itself will indeed extend the duration of its state of death, but one day I will reach My goal with certainty, for I will leave nothing in a state of death which once emerged from My love into a free life in light and strength ….
Amen
