Quoted from Vol I, pp 20 of TRUE GOSPEL REVEALED ANEW BY JESUS
http://www.divinelove.org/volume1/v1-09.htm
"(...) NOW, HERE IT HAD BETTER BE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THIS DIVINE LOVE WAS AND
IS, FOR IT IS THE SAME TODAY THAT IT WAS WHEN MAN WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD. THIS LOVE DIFFERS FROM THE NATURAL LOVE OF MAN, WITH WHICH HE WAS
ENDOWED WHEN CREATED AND WHICH BELONGS TO ALL MEN AND WHICH THEY ALL POSSESS
IN A MORE OR LESS PERFECT CONDITION, IN THIS, THAT THE DIVINE LOVE IS THAT
LOVE WHICH BELONGS TO OR IS A PART OF GOD, POSSESSING HIS NATURE AND
COMPOSED OF HIS SUBSTANCE, AND WHICH WHEN POSSESSED BY MAN TO A SUFFICIENT
DEGREE, MAKES HIM DIVINE AND OF THE NATURE OF GOD. THIS GREAT LOVE GOD
INTENDED SHOULD BE RECEIVED AND POSSESSED BY ALL MEN WHO SHOULD DESIRE TO
RECEIVE IT AND WHO WOULD MAKE THE EFFORT TO OBTAIN IT.
It is the love that contains in itself the divine, which the natural love
does not. Many, I know, write and believe that all men, irrespective of the
kind of love they have in their souls, possess what they call "the divine
spark," which needs only the proper development to make all men divine. But
this conception of the state of man in his natural condition is all wrong,
for man has not in him any part of the divine, and never can have, unless he
receives and has developed in him, this Divine Love. (...)"
