Jesus: I Speak to You Again
Chapter 116
The Flourishing of the Current Vices Can Cross Out Your Survival
The price of your current childish vices may be far higher than you realize. It could even cost you your survival after the so-called material death—an outcome caused by your own hand. You run the risk of crossing out your chance for eternal life simply because you are unaware of the dangerous path you are walking by indulging in these childish vices.
Just as a child’s unchecked whims can grow into a selfish adult who makes harmful decisions affecting many people, your immature vices—evidence of your spiritual immaturity—can lead you further away from the Father. This distance jeopardizes your resurrection from the sleep of material death. For your resurrection, all that is required is a single, powerful decision: to do the Father’s will and to have faith. You do not need to be perfect. You don’t have to be the ideal person you might imagine me to have been when I walked the earth. Even I, as you portray me, was not perfect in the way you think. I faced challenges just like you.
When I was in human form, I was led by the Father, just as you can be. I wasn’t born perfect or without flaws. I had moments of anxiety and irritation when things didn’t go my way, just as you do. But what changed my course was discovering my relationship with the Father, which grew stronger over time. This relationship guided me to walk the path I ultimately chose. Without the Father, I wouldn’t have been able to fulfill my mission—to live a fully human life and reveal the Father to you, as well as reveal you to the Father. I made this journey as a mortal, consciously giving up any divine powers that could have made it easier.
Do you think I couldn’t have come down from the cross? If you believe that, you are very wrong. As the Co-Ruler of the Universe, I had the power to step down, heal my wounds instantly, and turn the scene of horror into one of joy. But if I had done that, I would have crossed out your future—the chance for you to transcend physical suffering and spiritual struggles through faith and devotion to the Father. My suffering was meant to show you the power of love and devotion, not to focus on pain, but to focus on the triumph of the Father’s love.
If you allow your vices to grow unchecked, they will further obscure the windows of your soul. Eventually, you may lose the ability to perceive that you even have a soul that needs to be purified. If that happens, you will stop seeking spiritual clarity altogether, becoming trapped in a material illusion filled with pain, suffering, and fear. Despite accumulating great material wealth, you will find no joy. Over time, physical ailments will also manifest—illnesses that could have been avoided entirely.
The greatest danger, however, lies in living your entire material life without ever turning to the Father. This puts you at risk of rejecting Him altogether, and if you choose to turn away from Him of your own free will, even the Father cannot intervene. Your vices will have led you to deny the Father, just as unchecked whims lead a child into a selfish adulthood.
Once you make the conscious choice to reject the Father, there is no further path. It ends. That is the power of free will—the same free will that makes it possible to choose eternal life with the Father, but also to reject it entirely. This is why it is so crucial to weed out both childish whims and adult vices. They are deeply intertwined.
Remember, your life on this world is just the beginning. Though many believe in reincarnation, it does not exist. This initial life is crucial—it shapes your entire journey toward the Father in eternity. Even though it lasts only a few decades, living it improperly, without finding the Father within yourself, puts you at risk of rejecting the path of love, truth, and eternal life.
This is why the Father places such importance on your life here. You must absorb these teachings and reflect on how far you have traveled on the path to the Father—or how far you have wandered from Him. These reflections, along with the teachings, will help you make the right decision, whether you have already made it or need to correct your course. And that decision is clear: discover the Father within yourself and do His will.
