“I would like to tell you about the salvation of Jesus Christ and what it really means. There are indeed very few people who realize the full significance of this salvation, least of all the organized churches who have mostly completely misunderstood what this salvation is. There are many people who believe that Christ died on the cross for the sins of everyone else and that thus no one is responsible or accountable for his sins, faults, and weaknesses, etc., for Christ has atoned for him through His death. This, of course, my friends, cannot be. It would be utterly senseless.”

“It would not make any sense that He should die on the cross for sins that others have committed. For if you have committed a sin, you yourself have to straighten it out, and no one else can or should do it for you! If someone else would do it for you, it would not mean any purification for you. You would not have the strength you gain through the process of self-purification, which alone will protect you from committing sins again. For as long as the evil root is not torn out, it must again produce impure fruits. And the tearing out of evil roots can only be done by yourself. So that was not the reason Christ suffered and died.” (PL #22)
