I will say a word also. I am your own dear grandmother.
I came to tell you that I know now that the blood of Jesus does
not save from sin. You will remember how, when on earth I believed
this doctrine of error. How I used to talk about the precious blood
of Jesus being able to save from all sin, and used to sing with
all my heart and belief the old hymn: "There is a fountain filled
with blood" and so forth. Well I know now that that belief is all
wrong, and that Jesus is so anxious to have men learn that it is
a great error and stumbling block to the soul's progression.
Of course I know that a vast majority of those now living will
never believe that this saying of the Bible is erroneous until they
come to the spirit world; but if they only could be taught to throw
aside this belief and rely entirely on the Divine Love for their
salvation while on earth, how much easier their progress would be
when they come over. So you see, that while many say that a belief
does not amount to much, yet I tell you that it causes more unhappiness
and retards the progress of spirits to a greater extent than any
other one thing.
I know that only the Divine Love of the Father saves from sin and
makes mortals at-one with Him. So in your work for the Master, you
will have to make great efforts to cause people to give up this
belief in the blood, and turn to the truth of the New Birth. Many
of the orthodox (conventional Christians) will oppose your efforts
and refuse to believe what you may tell them to be the truth, but
many will believe and seek this New Birth, and find the peace and
happiness of a soul whose sins have been forgiven. I must not write
more tonight.
I will come again soon and tell you more of the result of your
work among the unfortunate spirits who seek your help.
So my dear son, I will say good night - your loving
grandmother,
Ann Rollins
