I instruct thee in the nature of Justice...
The unchangeable way of the universes brings Justice and Balance and Order and Harmony .. and Mercy allows for you to become aware of all that you have clothed the Immaculate Life with over your lifetimes. With Mercy .. you bring forgiveness to your creaturehood.
Justice .. no one can interfere with .. nor can you or I negotiate with the Justice of existence. Yet .. you certainly can begin to understand that Justice protects and upholds and sustains you in your progressive ascendancy as you venture forth.
Justice returns to you every particle of your Life which you have sent forth in vibration and quality.
Hence, see and understand that Justice is your friend .. always shall you find rest and safety in God's Justice.
Be thou .. always seeking your obedience with Justice .. invite Mercy .. and I shall deliver to thee all that must be brought back into Harmony and Order and Justice.
(1638.5) 146:2.5 4. There is a basic law of justice in the universe which mercy is powerless to circumvent. The unselfish glories of Paradise are not possible of reception by a thoroughly selfish creature of the realms of time and space.
Even the infinite love of God cannot force the salvation of eternal survival upon any mortal creature who does not choose to survive. Mercy has great latitude of bestowal, but, after all, there are mandates of justice which even love combined with mercy cannot effectively abrogate.
Again Jesus quoted from the Hebrew scriptures: “I have called and you refused to hear; I stretched out my hand, but no man regarded.
You have set at naught all my counsel, and you have rejected my reproof, and because of this rebellious attitude it becomes inevitable that you shall call upon me and fail to receive an answer.
Having rejected the way of life, you may seek me diligently in your times of suffering, but you will not find me.”
