Message from John, published in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 14.
“I felt your call and I came. I will tell you of love, as that is what you called me for. The love that I taught of when on earth is the love that the Father has prepared for all His children who might seek fot it. All that is required is that they seek with earnestness and faith to receive it.
“I know that this love is frequently confounded with the natural love that God gave to humans at their creation, but the two are different and distinct. Every person has the natural love, more or less developed, and it is a great gift, and makes humans what they are. But not so many have this other love, because it is bestowed only in answer to prayer, and the real longings of the soul. This is the divine love, and makes mortals part of the divinity of the Father, and consequently immortal.
“God is Love – this is the greatest truth of His being. But while His love is free for all, yet it is not bestowed without the desire of the mortal to receive it.
“I am supremely happy, and am working for humanity, and so directly does the Master. I do more for the advancment of the spirits after they have commenced to enjoy the love of the Father in their souls.
“Jesus is the ruling spirit in our kingdom, and his power is supreme. It is, of course, the Kingdom of God, but this kingdom is being formed by the Master, and to him is given the supreme ruling power, and we all are his followers. But he “rules” by love and ministrations, not by the hard lines of force and coercion. It’s hard to help you understand this obedience is the result of love, the word ‘obey’ does not convey the exact meaning intended.
“Jesus is the greatest of all because he has more of this Love than any other spirit, he is nearer to the Father and knows more of Him and His attributes. No distinction is made in this kingdom because of any personal greatness, but only because of more or less of divine love in the soul of the spirit.
“All my knowledge came to me from Jesus’ teachings and God’s love in my soul. Love is the ingredient of all knowledge.” Amen
