. THE LORD SPEAKS ABOUT MERIT WHEN Rael heard about the 12 year old boy, he looked at Me more and more attentively, but said at first nothing after I finished My speech. But then he grabbed My hand, pressed it to his heart and, while he looked Me into the eyes with love, he said with an emotional voice: “Lord, then I did not wait for You in vain but my eyes did really see You. O loving Father, You are making Your bad servant so happy. Now You certainly will soon take away the heavy load of my body so that my spirit can fully stand in Your light and see Your great glory which is covered in the clothing of man. Only now I truly understand the words: ‘God is man, and the Son of Man rules the world. God has given His Son the power in Heaven and on Earth, and the nations can only be blessed through Him.’
[GGJ.11_022,02] These were a few of the teachings that were communicated to me and which were always misunderstood by the listeners. That is why they were reported to me to proof the incorrectness of the new teaching.
[GGJ.11_022,03] But it is completely clear here that God has truly become man in You and has given You all might – to You, His Son, as a physical man with a soul while Your personal initial Spirit is the Father. O Lord, by what did I deserve such great mercy that You sanctify my house so much by Your presence?”
[GGJ.11_022,04] I said: “Rael, would you have wanted Me to walk by? What you last mentioned was unnecessary because I surely know who I visit and when I seek someone for his salvation. And there is certainly no question of merit, for I am not asking this, but I only go to the people because of the love that attracts Me. And once I am there, one should not ask this as some kind of earthly politeness, rather one should be happy that I came.
[GGJ.11_022,05] I know very well the condition of your heart and that you really feel a great love for Me and great joy because I am here, but I prefer not to see when people, once they have recognized Me, ask for the actual reasons of My coming and are then considering it as a reward for some merit.
[GGJ.11_022,06] Look at My disciples here. What was their merit for always being near to them and for initiating them in all the secrets of the Heavens? I say to you: nothing. They love Me and that love binds them freely to Me personally. And if that love would cool off they also would freely turn away from Me to pursue things to which their love, that made them turn away from Me, would draw them. But in no case is there some merit involved which would make them worthy to stay with Me. Therefore I have always said: ‘Come you all to Me who are tired and burdened, so that I can take away your burdens’. I desire nothing else in return except that you love Me for that, and then I will invigorate you all. But whoever, despite his great burden of sins, will not come freely to Me, will never see My face, and he will certainly not gain a merit that would make Me come to him, not even by the most noble deeds without love in his heart.
[GGJ.11_022,07] Look, I tell you all this, Rael, so that the last part of your philosophy, which commands you to gather merits to progress spiritually, will be placed in the right light, and so that you know that all merits without love for Me mean nothing. But we will leave it here.”
