 Live According to Your Recognition
10. Verily, those who believe and obey will save their souls, and those who do not obey will lose them. For I say to you: If your righteousness is not greater than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (Chap. 25:10
Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:
The statement, “... those who believe and obey will save their souls, and those who do not obey will lose them” means that the one who believes and follows the laws of God will deliver his soul from the wheel of reincarnation, which will continue to draw him into the flesh until he has atoned for everything that repeatedly drew him into incarnation.
Recognize: The mere belief in the law of life is not enough. Only the belief in the life and the actualization of the laws of life lead man and soul out of the wheel of reincarnation.
Whoever does not keep the laws of God betrays God and sells his soul to the darkness. Through this, he covers the light of his soul, his true life. This person then lives in sin and his soul lives in the slumber of this world. The law of incarnation, the wheel of reincarnation that draws the soul into incarnation, will still be in effect for quite a considerable length of time, so that the incarnated soul may recognize that it is not of this world, but is in the earthly garment to discard what is human – and to uncover what is divine: its true, eternal life.
Not all who know the written characters interpret them only literally, but do so according to the meaning. For this reason, it should say: If your righteousness is not greater than that of the many scribes – who pretend to be righteous and teach My law, but do not keep it themselves – you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Therefore, do not tie yourselves to the opinions and views of people. Actualize what you have recognized from the law of life; then you will recognize the continuing steps to higher spiritual principles.
Recognize that the justice of God is the love and wisdom of God. The one who does not bring them to unfoldment in himself does not radiate them; he neither perceives the depth of eternal Being nor fathoms his true life. His earthly life is in a state of vegetation and in this state he passes by the true life. On this side of life as well as in the beyond, he is the spiritually dead one. Neither in this earthly existence nor in the life beyond does he have the right orientation, because he did not live according to the laws of life. He is not wise, but only passes on the knowledge he has stored. Thus, he becomes a follower of sin and finally, a sinner. He acts against the eternal law and in this way falls deeper and deeper into the law of sowing and reaping.

As Jesus of Nazareth, Christ gave us the Sermon on the Mount and He explains and deepens it today through His prophetic word in His great work of revelation: "This Is My Word, Alpha and Omega, The Christ-Revelation, which all true Christians the world over have come to know."
