"He who believes in Me .... "

BD 7906 May 31th 1961

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
