The Way For Students - 193 Chapter 5. Man Of Faith Section 2. Man's Portion Of Responsibility 2. What Is Man's Portion Of Responsibility?
4) Fulfilling Our Portion of Responsibility
What kind of a man is a person who has fulfilled his portion of responsibility? He is someone as perfect as God. God created ninety-five percent; as man is in the position of being qualified as a creature who is 100% perfect, when man is perfected this becomes the completion of God's work of creation as well. The completion of the work of creation occurs at the same time as the completion of God's will and we can say that this is the perfection of God as well. (130-20)
If the portion of responsibility is completed, Satan will disappear. The being who accuses will disappear. If we cannot go beyond this standard, no matter how hard we try, we will not be able to enter Heaven as there remain conditions of accusation. We cannot enter [into Heaven] as long as we have conditions that can be accused.
When we stand in the position of having connected with God's love centered on an absolute, eternal, unique and unchanging love, Satan is not able to set up conditions of accusation there. If we stand in such a position, there will be no place for Satan, night or day, wherever we go in the world. Even if Satan were there, he would escape. It is time to set things straight. (169-84)
By completing our portion of responsibility, the realms of indirect and direct dominion are connected, the kingdoms of Heaven on earth and in Heaven are connected; without this, nothing is effectual. Therefore you must become the substance of love who has completed the portion of responsibility, the embodiment of love : love God, love your wife, love all things in the universe, and love your family. Only such people can enter Heaven. That is the formula for entering Heaven. (150-42) |
