Blessed Families Should Live a Life of Offering Donations, Doing Pledge Service and Witnessing

You cannot expect your children to grow well if you do not even hold morning Pledge service or devotion time and go to Sunday service.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2191

    Then what will you do after having been liberated? Because you will serve and attend God instead of the devil, you will have to create a new cultural realm. You have to create True Parents’ realm of daily life. When you stand in the position of the perfected Adam, you realize the purpose of your birth. When this happens, the love of God and True Parents will continually reside within you. This love is the basis of the harmony that completes you. In other words, you will have love, life and lineage. This forms a trinity. (202-283, 1990.5.25)

    You were born of the lineage of false parents, driven away from God, and have no connection to true parents. Therefore, in order to free yourselves from this lineage, you must stamp it out and uproot it. Only when you do so, and totally change the lineage, can you enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (22-271, 1969.5.4)

Tradition and Daily Etiquette of Blessed Families

Summary:
To build a strong life of faith, blessed families must stop living selfishly and instead set a public-minded example by arriving early to Sunday services to help create a welcoming, holy atmosphere. Parents need to show their children how to honor God by waking up early to pray, holding regular devotion and Pledge times, and paying church donations. Leaving late for church or skipping family worship ruins your spiritual influence, making it impossible to raise good descendants. True followers treat church events as a central part of their own lives, use Sundays to bring joy and food to other members, and keep all their daily actions focused on God’s will. Ultimately, by establishing these holy habits at home and prioritizing the church, you create a blessed environment that protects your family and brings joy to Heaven.

Your Life Must Be Changed into a Purposeful Way of Life

Our family should be a family of love, and you should become a public-minded husband and wife, or parents, centered upon God’s love.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 353

     Genuine parents will strive to continue the tradition of love. This is the same for Orientals and for Westerners. All parents try to establish the universal tradition of love by transcending their own tribe. People, whoever they are, try to bring together their family in completeness and harmony and live a happy and peaceful life. Regardless of whether one is from the East or the West, everyone thirsts after such a life. In this case tradition is the essence. This is because only tradition is connected with the future. (Tongil Segye 1978. 11-11)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1343   

    Why was Jesus unable to establish the Kingdom of Heaven? It was because his clan and twelve apostles didn’t help him. He attempted to build a bridge that would connect with the nation through his clan, twelve apostles, and seventy disciples, but it collapsed. He therefore could not establish the foundation on the family, clan, or church level during his life on earth.
    The next problem was that the seventy disciples did not unite with Jesus. They represented the twelve tribes and the seventy elders of Israel. The correct number, actually, should be 72, not 70. If six people were chosen from each of the twelve tribes, the total would be seventy-two. Hence, in the Unification Church, we have the Blessing of the 72 Couples. In the Bible, there are seventy-two in the New Testament and seventy in the Old Testament. The correct number is 72, not 70. (67-327, 1973.7.22)

Summary:
To build a successful life of faith, you and your family must shift from living vaguely to living with a clear, God-centered purpose. True family restoration happens when parents act unselfishly, prioritize the public good, and stay dedicated to the heavenly way, which naturally encourages their children to be loving and obedient. Daily practices—like a husband and wife waking up early to pray tearfully with their children—create a deep bond of love and turn the home into a peaceful sanctuary where children thrive. While making a mistake as an individual is easy to fix, a failure within the family can cause spiritual ruin, meaning you must persevere through any internal opposition to keep your home strong. Ultimately, blessed families carry the hope of the world, and they must fulfill their responsibilities to help build a true nation of peace rather than becoming a source of despair.

The Blessing is Precious Only after You Fulfill Your Responsibility

Men should not use their fists and women should not curse.

    We have now entered a new age. What kind of attitude should we have? The conviction to restore independence to our homeland – more than anything else – should be burning in your chest. In other words, you should become the standard-bearers for building the homeland that God has been impatiently awaiting for the past six thousand years. You should take pride in being a pioneer in the special forces sent into battle as the advance guard to reclaim the land and take responsibility for this incredible mission.     Many people who have come and gone wanted to have this mission and had this hope. Even though they wanted it, they could not have it. This is one special mission that can be done only once, at this time in history. It requires a solemn sense of responsibility. Eating, sleeping, your comings and goings; every aspect of your lifestyle must be for the establishment of the homeland.
    How long do you think God has been waiting impatiently for you, as a secret emissary sent by God, to come forward and determine to carry out this mission in a high-spirited and exciting way?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1354

    When blessing the 430 Couples, I told them to become tribal messiahs. That did not mean that they should go off and live happily by themselves. In other words, I had given them a mission similar to that of Jesus and the Holy Spirit; that is, to become the tribal messiahs working to save their tribes as the substantial embodiments of the resurrected Jesus and the Holy Spirit. That means they should fulfill the mission of tribal messiahs, not as spirits but as physical people.

Think “I Am God’s Person, a Citizen of Heaven”

    How do you live eternally? Christians say that you can attain eternal life and be saved by believing in Jesus but that makes no sense. Only through love can you be saved. From the viewpoint of God’s principles of creation, only a true person is God’s partner in love. Therefore, if someone has true love, he must be able to live eternally. Once you enter the realm of that love, whether you are in the spirit world or on earth, you will come to know where you should live.
    If a large ship sailing across the ocean faces the danger of destruction, the rats inside the ship try to escape to dry land. Even though they are nothing but small animals, they can distinguish which is the right way to take and go in that direction when faced with matters of life and death.
    How would it be in the case of human beings who should be the lords of all creation? Why have they become the way they are? It was because of the Fall. How will you remove the mask of the Fall or free yourself from the devil’s love, life, and lineage?
    To free yourself means to break away from something. It means to completely break away from and stand in an autonomous position with no relation to Satan. (215-53, 1991.2.6)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1383

    August 25, 1995 saw 720,000 people from all over the world, 360,000 couples of young men and women, blessed in marriage in a holy Blessing officiated by God and the True Parents. They were brought together as ideal couples as God originally intended at the time of creation. What this means is that the husbands and wives can finally establish the model of true couples and create ideal families through God’s true love. (271‑147, 1995.8.27)

To receive salvation through love, you have to have your true love partner, your husband or wife, and receive the Blessing. Continue reading “Think “I Am God’s Person, a Citizen of Heaven””

Arrogance Is Your Enemy

Arrogance and stubbornness are the natures and elements of Satan.

What does it mean for you to serve with all your heart, with your entire mind, and with all your devotion? It means to offer your life. Is there anything greater than that? To devote yourself with all your heart means giving up your life. To serve with all your mind and devotion means giving up your life. Isn’t there a saying, “Sincerity moves heaven?” Is there a limit to sincerity, an end to one’s devotion? Put your life on the line and offer devotion. God will recognize the person who is ready to sacrifice his life and offer a life of devotion. (38-242, 1971.1.8)

   After the Blessing of 3.6 Million Couples, it will be a downhill ride – descent is easy. That will be the 36 million Couples: the growth stage. What follows is the Blessing of 360 Million Couples; by then we would reach level terrain at the bottom of the hill. Descending there, we can return to the state of Adam’s family before the Fall. By achieving this, we are entering the age when parents will bless their children. From this point on, you can perform the preliminary Blessing ceremonies yourselves. Recognized as John the Baptist families, you will be able to do that in the name of the True Parents. (287-144, 1997.9.14) Continue reading “Arrogance Is Your Enemy”
