"[5] For if men of this Earth want to become children of God, they must try in every way to be as perfect as the eternal and holy Father in Heaven who is in Himself the eternal truth, the eternal love and power, and all the endless good, righteous and wonderful that results from it. Therefore, it is also written in the Scripture: ‘God created man after His likeness, He made him after His image and blew His breath into him, so that he would become a living, free soul.’ [6] In this manner, men of this Earth are not simply and solely creatures of Jehovah’s almightiness, but children of His Spirit, and consequently of His love, and thus – as it is also written – gods themselves. [7] And if they are – and their completely free will that is not limited by anything clearly proves this to them – then they also are completely free lords and judges over themselves. But they only become perfect and lords who are completely equal to God, by making God’s will, that is faithfully revealed to them, as their own will by acting according to it, in which they also are completely free. [8] That is why God works only very seldom visibly among the people because already since the very beginning He has given them out of Himself the capability to slowly raise themselves, out of their own power, up to the highest level of life that is equal to God. [9] Thus, the one who, as soon as he uses his mind, begins to search for the truth and its goodness and will also act immediately according to what he has found, is already walking on the right way, and God will lighten that way for him more and more and lead him to his glory. But the one who, also by his own will, becomes lazy and who will attach himself to this world and its enticements – which are only present for the outer and perishable sense organs of the material or physical man for the test of his free will – will judge himself out of his free will and will make himself equal to death and judgment, and is consequently himself also as good as judged and dead." (90. About the destiny of men - GGJ Book 20) "[9] I said to the businessman: “Where worldly reason goes hand in hand with the pursuing of riches united with personal interest, the soft voice that calls to man: ‘Search for the truth’ must of course be silenced. A little detour on your trips from Jerusalem to Jaffa, Tyrus and Sidon would not have given you any disadvantage, so that you very easily could have met the Man who could have shown and given you to personally possess imperishable riches which you will not ever be able to gather.
[10] He who will not search will also not find, the one who will not knock, for him will also not be opened. He who believes that the spiritual knowledge of that which is good and true must search for him so that it would automatically fall to him on his regular worldly ways, can wait eternally to receive it. The one who, out of indolence and because of worldly businesses, avoids to make even a little detour to search for the source of the truth, although he already heard about it, belongs to the worldly people to whom the Lord will say at the end of times: ‘You heard about Me and did not search Me. Now I do not search you, although I know that you are there. Go away from Me and go to where your love draws you.’" (32. THE BUSINESSMAN SEARCHES FOR THE LORD, GGJ Book 25) "[...] he who seek will also find as long as he does not stop on the ever so desolate road. To him who will knock on the door - be it even at night - it will be open and he who will ask persistently will also be given what he has asked for." (GGJ VIII. 104:8) "[...] it is this taking pains with a thing and making an effort which is actually the force with which everyone must seize the Kingdom of God in order to possess it." (GGJ VIII. 105:1) Recognizing God in the Lord and spiritual rebirth "[6] Let all come to Me, who are troubled and weighed down by darkness, and I shall restore them. Those who want to come to Me, to them the door shall be opened and they will find in Me the one for whom they have long been searching in vain, despite all their worldly wisdom. Where I am, there is also room for anyone who loves and seeks Me.[...] Happy he who comes to Me and recognizes Me, as you do! For, whoever recognizes Me, has already received a light from Me and then actively believe in Me. [12] But at the present, this light is only a tiny flame within your soul. Not until you have accepted My teaching and with it My will, and act and live accordingly, will your present tiny light become a sun, and only then will you attain to the full truth of all life and being and awaken eternal life within you." (GGJ X, chap.88)
