Message from Andrew, the Apostle, found in The Gospel of God’s Love, page 26.
“I come to tell you that where love is, there can be no sin or unhappiness, and fear is not. We who live in the celestial spheres know this to be a fact, and with all the force and authority that knowledge gives, we declare this truth unto you tonight: The love that “casteth out all fear” is the divine love of the Father, and when a spirit obtains that, there exists no such thing as fear, and nothing that could create or permit fear to exist.
“God wants the souls of mortals in love, and not in fear, and the only way in which such end can be accomplished is for mortals to see and know Him as a God of love only.
“No person can come to the Father except through the new birth and faith in God’s love. The performance of duty, good works, and mere faith, while they will help mortals in the development of their moral character and qualities, yet they will not give them an entrance into the Celestial Heavens, which are the heavens where Jesus rules and is the prince of peace.
“Many spirits are happy by reason of their having led good, moral lives on earth, and because of a high development of their natural love, and because they realize God is their Father who watches over them and gives them many blessings; but this happiness is not that which comes with the possession of the divine love. And besides, the place of habitation of these spirits is limited, and does not permit them to have free access to all the spheres where God’s goodness and care are manifested.
“The spirits who have obtained this divine love have no limitation in the spheres to which they may progress, and are not restricted in their place of habitation or in the spheres in which they may live. And besides, the presence and glory of the Father are so much greater in these celestial spheres than in those where the natural love obtains.
“I must not write more tonight, for you are commencing to tire. So with all my love, I will say goodnight. Your brother in Christ, Andrew”
The natural heavens’ limitation is the 6th sphere; in order to progress higher, a spirit needs to return to the 3rd sphere, and commence praying for divine love.
