SIMON ZELOTES ASKED QUESTION JESUS HOW TO PERSUADE PEOPLE FOR THEIR SALVATION

When Simon Zelotes and Jesus were alone, Simon asked the Master:

“Why is it that I could not persuade him?

Why did he so resist me and so readily lend an ear to you?”

Jesus answered:

“Simon, Simon, how many times have I instructed you to refrain from all efforts to take something out of the hearts of those who seek salvation?

How often have I told you to labor only to put something into these hungry souls?

Lead men into the kingdom, and the great and living truths of the kingdom will presently drive out all serious errors.

'When you have presented to mortal man the good news that God is his Father, you can the easier persuade him that he is in reality a son of God.'

And having done that, you have brought the light of salvation to the one who sits in darkness.

Simon, when the Son of Man came first to you, did he come denouncing Moses and the prophets and proclaiming a new and better way of life?

I came not to take away that which you had from your forefathers but to show you the perfected vision of that which your fathers saw only in part.

Go then, Simon, teaching and preaching the kingdom, and when you have a man safely and securely within the kingdom, then is the time, when such a one shall come to you with inquiries, to impart instruction having to do with the progressive advancement of the soul within the divine kingdom.”

~ TUB, (141:6.2)

SELF-MASTERY THROUGH SALVATION TEACHES BY JESUS

(143:2.6)
“Salvation is by the regeneration of the spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh.

You are justified by faith and fellowshipped by grace, not by fear and the self-denial of the flesh, albeit the Father’s children who have been born of the spirit are ever and always masters of the self and all that pertains to the desires of the flesh.

When you know that you are saved by faith, you have real peace with God.

And all who follow in the way of this heavenly peace are destined to be sanctified to the eternal service of the ever-advancing sons of the eternal God.

Henceforth, it is not a duty but rather your exalted privilege to cleanse yourselves from all evils of mind and body while you seek for perfection in the love of God."

(143:2.7)
“Your sonship is grounded in faith, and you are to remain unmoved by fear.

Your joy is born of trust in the divine word, and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father’s love and mercy.

It is the very goodness of God that leads men into true and genuine repentance.

Your secret of the mastery of self is bound up with your faith in the indwelling spirit, which ever works by love.

Even this saving faith you have not of yourselves; it also is the gift of God.

And if you are the children of this living faith,

you are no longer the bond slaves of self but rather the triumphant masters of yourselves, the liberated sons of God."

“Even though you are effectively armed to meet the difficult situations of life, you can hardly expect success unless you are equipped with that wisdom of mind and charm of personality which enable you to win the hearty support and co-operation of your fellows.”

Rodan of Alexandria, 160:1.9 (1774.1)

Fear and shame are unworthy motivations for religious living. Religion is valid only when it reveals the fatherhood of God and enhances the brotherhood of men.”
