The message from Jesus, in the Gospel of God’s Love, on pages 225-229, continues.
Recap: Only a knowledge of the Father being a God of Love, and that this Love may be obtained by humans through earnest prayer for its bestowal, is all that’s necessary for their New Birth to follow.
“There is nothing else that will bring about this knowledge; for the response which follows the prayers will cause the New Birth, which, when experienced by humans, will place them in that unison with the Father that will lead to a knowledge of other truths that form a part of the plan of salvation.
“Nothing else will develop this knowledge of the inner sense of which I write. A knowlwdge of the mind, except in conjunction with this inner knowledge, can never bring about the necessary at-Onement with the Father. It often exists that a human may have this inner kowledge, and at the same time have a mental belief which is wholly at variance with the true plan of soul salvation. The mind of humans, being a thing of wonderful power, can for a time retard the growth of this knowledge of the soul sense. But only for a time; eventually the soul sense will develop to the point where the erroneous mind’s knowledge will entirely disappear, and the human will possess only the truth.
“Of this erroneous mind’s “knolwedge,” or better, “conviction”, is the belief that my name (that is supplications made in my name) will bring about the realization of the desires of the supplicant. And what I have said applies to many other declarations contained in the Bible, such as “He that belieeth on the lord Jesus Christ shall be saved.” This is the enunciation of false doctrine, and is misleading to the great majority of Christians, for they accept the declarations as literally true.
“If to all these declarations is added the vital truth: “Except a person be born again, they cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven,” and to this mental belief be added the soul’s faith, then the doctrines will be truly stated, and humans will understand what is necessary for their salvation.
“Belief and Faith are not the same; one is of the mind and the other of the soul. One can change as phenomena change, the other when possessed never changes. Faith of the soul, causes all its longings to become things of real existence.” Amen
