JEHOVAH
Chapter 88 – Sacrifice
After Father sat back down Jehovah rose and spoke.
'Father, I will do what you have asked.'
He then turned to face his brothers and sisters, discerning each of their thoughts, but loving them regardless of whether those thoughts were good or evil, or something in between. When he spoke it was with a gentleness and mildness that would endear him to the heart of anyone with a shred of goodness in them.
'I love you, my brothers and sisters, so I will do this thing and I give all glory to Father and Mother, without whom we are nothing.
'As Father has pointed out, by achieving that which I have been asked to do, I will overcome the law and will be in a position to set the conditions by which you can return to the Kingdom.
'To receive mercy instead of justice, I require you to live after the principals of this Kingdom, as best you can with the light that you are given in mortality. I would have you be kind, selfless, loving and charitable. Use your time and your talents to lift and serve others, but always with a spirit of humility, and never to be seen of others.
'To best achieve this, you will need to keep yourself pure and virtuous, so that my spirit can dwell within you, guiding you to good works. When you fall short, which you will do on occasions, you will need to repent. To repent is to respond appropriately to the remorse of conscience arising from sin.
'By asking for forgiveness, and demonstrating your sincerity by seeking not to repeat the error, you will become eligible for mercy and to be made clean. As such, to the extent that you respond positively to the remorse of conscience that sin will invoke, and try to forsake that which you have done, having faith in me, then my grace is sufficient for you. By following this pattern you can receive peace whilst on earth, and by enduring in this manner until the end of your mortal days, you can secure for yourself life eternal.
'While doing this may sound a simple thing, it will require great faith to do this on earth. That test is going to be very difficult and many will disbelieve in Father, Mother and me. To some of you it may sound an absurd thing that many will disbelieve these things whilst upon the earth, but as Mother has explained you will have no recollection of your time here in the Kingdom once you are there.
'Due to the gross darkness that will be upon the earth at times many will live out their lives never even hearing of these things. While this is not ideal, it doesn't matter. Every man and woman will be judged by how well they live by that light that they have been permitted to receive.
'All will have my light to judge between right and wrong. This conscience, which is a gift to every man and woman upon the earth, will provide a base level for a decent life for those who never hear of me whilst in mortality. For those who are privileged enough to live in nations in which my word is taught, then there will be a higher requirement for personal righteousness, in proportion to the additional light that has been revealed.'
