Jesus: I Speak to You Again
Chapter 151
Your Deposit in the Father’s Bank
My teachings about wealth have a literal meaning: accumulate your wealth through good deeds. This is the greatest, lasting wealth, preserved throughout eternity in the Father’s bank. The interest it accrues is not like that of earthly banks, for the interest you receive is the growth and fortification of your character. You must know that the Father’s bank is never at risk of failure, and you can always rest assured when placing your wealth in His care. You will never be deceived.
Your faith in the Father and trust in Him serve as your spiritual bank card. Through prayer and communion with the Father, you can check your spiritual wealth—your good deeds stored in His bank. The transformation of your character is the clearest indicator of how your deposit is growing, not only visible to you but also to those around you. Unlike earthly banks, the Father’s bank uses your deposit solely for your own enrichment, and the creation as a whole becomes richer only as each individual deposits their good deeds in the Father’s bank.
When you invest in others—especially in children, students, and those eager to learn—you increase not only your own spiritual wealth but also enrich the creation itself. You pave the way for future generations to open their accounts in this same bank, and it is only in the Father’s bank where selfless motives prevail, returning benefits in excess.
This is the principle that should inspire transformation in the activity of your earthly banks, turning them from selfish, profit-driven institutions into ones that serve the whole. Such a shift would bring meaning to their operations, as opposed to the harm they currently cause. Today’s banks exist to amass profits, often to the detriment of the poor. This system perpetuates inequality, where some live in excess while others are left with nothing. True transformation from a profit-driven to a service-based economy will not happen overnight, but the process can begin now. Banks can start by dedicating half of their profits to family and education—two essential pillars of societal development.
By investing in family values and education, you help cultivate fair and incorruptible leaders who will guide entire nations toward greater good. In doing so, you are making deposits into the Father’s bank. And when the time comes to withdraw your spiritual wealth upon leaving this world, you will be filled with joy, knowing that your life was lived for something greater. After resurrection, your experience and faith will continue to grow, and you will gladly continue investing in the Father’s bank, knowing that your trust and cooperation with the Father will only deepen.
Just as the Father trusts you, having given you His very own fragment, He seeks for you to trust Him and invest in His bank. Your banks should follow this principle as well. When people entrust their savings to a bank, the bank must show reciprocal trust, rather than exploiting them with fees and low interest. The Father’s bank operates for the benefit of all, while your banks currently operate for their own gain. But this will change when bankers discover the Father within themselves and begin depositing their good deeds into His bank.
Each of you has the opportunity to lead this transformation by opening your own account in the Father’s bank. As you grow and strengthen your character, others will notice and follow your example—especially the younger generations, who will one day reshape your institutions, including your banks. Your experiences, however challenging, will help you understand your eternal path more clearly, and they will serve as stepping stones in your growth if you apply my teachings to your everyday life.
So, go boldly to the Father’s bank and open your eternal deposit today.
