THE BURDEN OF SIN IN THE BEYOND - ATONEMENT OR FORGIVENESS?

I gave you the commandment of Love, so every Sin you commit against your fellow- man will be a burden to you, because you Sin against Me. These Sins shall be heavy upon you in the beyond if you do not repent on this Earth. Therefore, do not think that you will get off unpunished if you Sin against your fellowman. Do not imagine that there is no just judge, because your fellowman does the same to you and disregard My commandments of Love. Although your conscience is dulled you still do not diminish your guilt because your intellect remains active and you know right from wrong. You will not be forced to think and act, thus you are responsible for your thoughts and actions. You burden yourself greatly if you add sin upon sin by harming your fellowman, by treating him unjustly and acting selfishly instead of supporting him in his need and helping him in unselfish Love, which is pleasing to God.

You submit yourself to the power of Satan who works on your soul drawing you into the abyss. As a reward for your willingness he gives you temporarily better worldly conditions. But will that sanctify your soul? Do not burden yourself with sin, because your remorse will be dreadful.

Believe in a just God, Who will call you to account for all your deeds. Ask Him to forgive your guilt, pray that He will strengthen your will to do good and give you strength to do deeds of Love. Have a desire to be good and you will receive help, you will be able to free yourself from the swamp of sin, you will find forgiveness already on Earth, and Grace in My eyes. So do not reject Him who gave you life. Do not deny His righteousness.

Acknowledge your sins. Do not act against the commandment of Love, which I gave you for the well-being of your soul. Have mercy on the weak and the sick and you will find mercy from Me. Relieve their needs, and I will always help you when you are in need.

Because you treat your fellowman so will I do to you in the Day of Judgment, which is at hand. Do not sin , for as the amount of your sin becomes greater, so will the burden of your guilt press down on you, so that you will not find Grace in the day of judgment. I know each injustice, for to My eyes nothing is hidden. You are responsible for each deed and each thought. Woe unto them whose sins will be revealed and judged by Me.

Atonement will be very hard, and according to your guilt, because I Am a just judge, although My patience and compassion are endless.

There is a limit set to your evil deeds, which if exceeded will be dealt with in the hour of judgment. Justice will be demanded for all sin, as is proclaimed in My Word and the Scripture.

AMEN
