When I said, he that liveth and believeth on me shall never die, I meant that the man whose soul was not dead to sin and believed in the truths that I had disclosed – that God’s Divine Love was waiting to enter into and fill his soul with its essence and substance and that means by prayer and faith – received that Divine Love and he should never die; that is, he would become immortal as God is immortal.
No mere belief in me as Jesus the man or as the son of God, is sufficient to give a man eternal life, for while he must believe that I was sent by God to proclaim the great truth that He had again bestowed on man, the possibility of obtaining this Divine Love by his prayers and faith, yet unless he believed this and became the possessor of this Divine Love he could never claim eternal life.
I, Jesus – as the son of man or of God – do not save any man from his sins and make him one with the Father, but the truths which I taught and which were taught me by the Father are the things that save.
- Jesus
