Those who close their minds to the eternal truth are unspeakably miserable, for they lose everything that gives life it's true meaning. Only in the reception of this truth from God is life properly used, and only the Divine Word has eternal value, because it connects the Creator with the creature and thus cancels the separation between the two, which again is the sole cause why God expresses Himself in the Word. Whoever receives the Word of God with his heart, is to be called rich already on earth.
He is united with the Father and receives Divine grace unceasingly .... He is not abandoned in times of earthly need, but constantly receives comfort and assistance .... Nor does he have to fear that this grace could be taken away from him as long as he himself desires it .... For God knows no limits to His love. The child who wants to receive, is constantly fed with the bread of heaven, which is the eternal truth. Nothing in infinity is more precious than this, it is the Divine truth, the only desirable - because who has this, has everything ....
He who stands in the truth is initiated into the work of God; everything is revealed to him that is worth knowing and of use to man. At the same time, the understanding for all spiritual work is awakened in him, knowledge is imparted to him for the purpose of spiritual maturing; the task is given to him to act as a builder of the human soul, he is introduced to the most unthinkable fields and receives unlimited teachings about them, for his knowledge is to serve to instruct his fellow man likewise. And every man is free to take part in what is spiritually commanded, every man is free to receive Divine wisdom likewise and to enrich his knowledge, as it is only his will.
And who recognizes the Divine gift of grace and gratefully receives it, he has gained so unspeakably much, because he reaches knowledge and from now on walks the right way for the higher development of his soul, he now no longer covers the way of life in vain, but is eager to follow everything what is imparted to him through the Word of God .... He observes the Divine commandment of love and thus strives to redeem himself ..... He has only one goal in mind, to see the sun of the Spirit rise.
He strives to come into the rays of the Divine sun of grace, only to always feel it's effect on him .... He complies with the Divine will with all zeal, and his concern is not only his own salvation, but also the salvation of his fellow human beings, because he recognizes in them the same product of Divine Fatherly love, he recognizes that all human beings should be of the same spirit and therefore the Divine commandments must be constantly taken into account, that every human being should take care of his fellow human being in love, that love should unite all of them and be active for each other. .... The Divine wisdom .... the received Divine Word .... should bring this about, that man collects spiritual wealth on earth and thus enters eternity richly thought of, where the spiritual gifts alone are valued and thus the Divine truth remains until all eternity ....
Amen
