T. 25. III. 7 – 9. Jesus: “This world has much to offer to your peace, with many chances to extend your own forgiveness. Such its purpose is, to those who want the experience of peace and forgiveness to descend on them, and have it offer them the light.
The Holy Spirit, the Maker of the world of gentleness, has perfect power to offset the world of violence and hate that seems to stand between you and the Father’s gentleness and peace. In the Holy Spirit’s forgiving eyes, that sinful, guilty world is just not there. And therefore, it need not be there in yours!
Belief in sin entails the belief that your perception is fixed and cannot change. What has been damned is simply ‘damned and damned forever,’ being forever unforgivable. If, then, it is forgiven, the perception of sin must surely have been wrong. And thus is change made possible for you!
The Holy Spirit, too, sees what He sees as being far beyond the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot encroach, for sin has been corrected by His sight. And thus it must have merely been an error, not a sin. For what it claimed could never be, has been!
Sin is seen as real, attacked by punishment, and so preserved in the mind. But to forgive it is to exchange its state from error into truth. The Son of God could never sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the power to think he can be hurt. What could this be except a misperception of himself? Is this a sin or a mistake, forgivable or not? Does he need help or condemnation?
Is it your purpose that your brother be saved or damned; forgetting not that what he is to you will make this choice into your own future? For you make it now, the instant when all time becomes a means to reach a goal.
Make, then, your choice! But recognize that in this choice the purpose of the world you see is chosen, and will be justified.”
