Sin debt ....
God's mercy ....
Atonement ....

A heaped measure of sins weighed upon mankind when Jesus Christ descended to earth to redeem them .... This is only comprehensible to those who know the reason for earthly life as a human being and the meaning and purpose of creation, for they know that the human being has travelled the path through creation for the sake of sin and should now free himself from it in the last stage in order to finally return to God again, from Whom he originated in the beginning. But sin ties man down on earth, sin blocks his path to God, it makes the gulf between man and God unbridgeable, and thus sin nullifies the purpose of earthly life, it pushes man back again into the deepest depth from which he had already lifted himself up by walking through creation.

Before the descent of Christ, humanity was full of sinfulness, for it no longer recognised God, it was in darkest spiritual night, it was devoid of all love and without any striving for perfection, it was in farthest distance from God and therefore in greatest danger of sinking into the abyss, i.e., without knowledge and without love, to go down the path that leads to eternal damnation. This distance from God manifested itself in a way of life that completely contradicted the divine commandments, it was a way of life contrary to the divine order, it was a life of the most obvious self-love, and such a life was full of sin and completely contrary to God's will.

And such a life could never earn people freedom and a blissful life after death, but spiritual death was the consequence, a state of extreme torment in the beyond which would never end because God's justice had to demand atonement for every sin and people's guilt of sin had already increased immeasurably so that it was hopeless for the beings to ever come close to God.

But distance from God means for the beingness powerlessness, helplessness, darkness and finally hardening of its substance .... it means spiritual death for the being, a state far worse than not being .... being extinguished .... But a passing away of the beingness is impossible, thus the torments of these beings are also unbearable beyond all conceptions and never-ending .... And the eternal Deity took pity on this and came to the aid of sinful humanity by embodying Itself in a human being Who, in His all-encompassing love, took humanity's sins upon Himself, Who thus released people from them by atoning for the guilt of sin by offering a sacrifice to God as atonement .... Who gave Himself, i.e. His life, in order to restore freedom to those, in order to make the kingdom of God accessible to them, which could only be entered in complete purity, without sin ....

So He redeemed humanity from the guilt of sin, He took all guilt upon Himself, He suffered unspeakably and offered up His suffering and death on the cross to the eternal Deity in order to give it satisfaction, in order to create a just compensation for humanity so that they could draw close to God again. And God accepted the sacrifice of the man Jesus ..... He forgave people's guilt of sin for the sake of Jesus Christ, and the gates of the kingdom of heaven opened for all who accepted His gift of grace .... He redeemed humanity from sin and their guilt .... He offered them the last opportunity to achieve their earthly life purpose .... (4.10.1944) His greater than great love sought to remove all obstacles from people's path which blocked their access to the eternal home; but the greatest obstacle was sin, for it robbed the human being of his strength and will.

It was the consequence of sin that people lay on the ground without strength and will and were unable to rise of their own accord because the burden of sin pressed them down. And therefore Jesus Christ took this burden from them, He placed it on Himself and carried it to the cross in order to atone for people's guilt of sin through His death. Humanity, which had become free through Jesus Christ, could now accept His sacrifice but also spurn it .... The act of Salvation has been accomplished for all people, yet God will never force the blessings of the act of Salvation upon them against their will. But if they have no desire to be redeemed, they will lose it .....

Then sin still weighs heavily on these people, and then they will inevitably be pulled down into the abyss, for then they will reject God's love, and then they will still have to languish for eternities in their ignorance, their guilt of sin cannot be reduced, indeed, they will still accumulate many earthly sins on top of this guilt of sin, which God can only forgive them when they accept His gift of grace, thus when they can believe with conviction that God's infinite love had mercy on their sins and sent them a Saviour.

Belief in this will cause people to repent of their guilt of sin, to ask Him for forgiveness and to hand themselves over to His grace and mercy, and thus the graces of the act of Salvation will now take effect in him. He will increase in strength of will and power and now be able to free himself from the power of God's adversary. And only the person will be able to speak of forgiveness of sin who consciously takes refuge under Christ's cross, confesses his guilt to Him and appeals to Him for mercy ..... His prayer will be heard, his guilt will be forgiven ....

Amen
