And he will resort to all means to cut you away from God.

In the original world, the more a man and woman unite into one, the more powerful their unity will be. Through this, a great center will appear and develop into a sphere. The more the man and woman are connected horizontally, the stronger the connection becomes with the vertical power of the parent body of love. It is precisely at this point that the mind and body become one. (109-273, 1980.11.2)

You need to gain control of your body and mind and become a perfected individual. Then the husband and wife need to become one in order to form a perfected family. (30-246, 1970.3.24)

Section 3. Why Restoration through Indemnity is Necessary

3.1. Two things that must be restored through indemnity

Summary:
Separating ourselves from Satan requires fulfilling both internal conditions (like Adam’s position) and external conditions (like Cain and Abel) by meeting our portion of responsibility and establishing absolute love for God 🛑. By holding firm to our faith, refusing to retreat through any persecution or hardship, and loving God more than anything else, we can overcome Satan’s influence and successfully accomplish restoration ✨.

Prayer at the foundation Day for the Unified Nation of Heaven and Earth

Beloved Heavenly Father! The flow of history has been one of intense grief, and the history of Your providence has been one of despair. This was caused neither by God Himself or the creation. It was solely due to the mistake of Adam and Eve, who were the owners of all creation, and the archangel, whose responsibility it was to manage and nurture them into maturity, that such a wretched flow of history has been handed down. When we think of this fact, and how much God must have bemoaned it, we cannot help but reproach the unforgivable actions of humanity in bringing about the ruin of the world.

Each Person Must Re-Create Everything

Since God invested His sincere devotion during the creation, for the sake of re-creation you must also re-create that condition of sincere devotion.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2179

Koreans are a noble people who have honored loyalty and filial piety from time immemorial. I remember being invited to attend Armed Forces Day at Yeoido Plaza and feeling great satisfaction watching our dignified young soldiers. I was truly impressed as those brave soldiers marched past the reviewing stand and shouted the motto “Loyalty and Filial Piety!” (Choong Hyo!) I thought that, for God’s chosen race, it was a motto that seemed very much like a revelation. I don’t think there are any other armed forces in the world with a motto like this.
As Koreans are still a people practicing loyalty and filial piety toward God, the spirit of loyalty and filial piety has become the central thought of the nation. The classic stories of Shim Chung’s filial piety to her father, Chun-hyang’s fidelity to her husband, Jeong Mong-ju’s loyalty to his king, and Yu Kwan-soon’s spirit of patriotic martyrdom exemplify Korean faithfulness to the principles of loyalty and filial piety to a degree unparalleled in history. Such a spirit of loyalty, filial The Meaning of Loyalty and Filial Piety piety, and the unchanging fidelity that is like pine and bamboo constitute the central thought and spirit for the realization of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth that will be established in the future. As the Kingdom of Heaven is God’s nation, you must be forever loyal to that nation, and, as God is the Father of all humankind, you must show eternal filial piety to Him. When God tested the many peoples of the world, He could not find a people of virtue and fidelity with a spirit of loyalty and filial piety as high as the Koreans. Therefore, He chose Korea and is intently watching the nation. (100-252, 1978.10.19)

God is not a fantasy or a conceptual God, nor is He an abstract God. With His leadership in our daily life, He is always with us as the master of our daily circumstances. He does not just receive attendance but is living together with us by sharing love. This sounds like a dream. (168-111, 1987.9.13)

Without making a beginning point where God enters our mind, and where we human beings become completely one body with God, there is no way of liquidating the devil’s world. From this point of view, we can understand that this time is the age of attendance and the age of salvation by justification through attendance. We are saved through attendance. God is not a God who is way up in the sky far removed from us. We should attend God as the master in our daily life. (144-274, 1986.4.25)

How many times during the day are you aware of God’s existence? How many times during twenty four hours do you feel God’s presence? How can people who are determined to be saved through attendance, attend God just one or two hours in a day? God is something you need more desperately than even the air. God is something you need more desperately than even water. God is more precious than your meals. Yet, do you really feel this? (33-230, 1970.8.16)

Section 3. Why Restoration through Indemnity is Necessary

3.1. Two things that must be restored through indemnity

Summary:
Because humans destroyed God’s original creation, we must actively participate in re-creation by investing our utmost devotion, just as God did when He made the universe 🌍. Because we lost our ability to fulfill our original portion of responsibility during the Fall, we must now use indemnity as a necessary companion to our responsibility, walking this rigorous and serious path—much like earning a difficult degree—in order to achieve true restoration ✨.

Historical Children’s Day

Reverend Sun Myung Moon
October 28, 1981
World Mission Center
Translator – Bo Hi Pak

We are celebrating the 22nd Children’s Day today. We have several major celebrations in Unification Church, Parents’ Day, Children’s Day, Day of All Things, and God’s Day, but the world does not have these days, or know the significance of them. Our Church is founded on God’s dispensational purpose, and as a religious institution the Church installed these days. They have meaning not only to us, but to God and to religion itself.

What is the purpose that religion has to fulfill in God’s sight? When we say that the purpose of God is fulfilled, we mean that God’s kingdom is established, and God’s family has been erected. The Kingdom of God begins from the heavenly family of men. What makes up that God-centered family? It consists of God-centered men and women, the essence which makes up the family, society, and the center of all things that God created. That perfection must reign at the level of men and women, as the foundation of all.

Each of us belongs to one of those poles, either man or woman. We must realize that the standard of men and women who can create the Kingdom of God on earth shall be unchanging, in either the past, present or future, and will go on for eternity. Ask yourself whether you are a man of God who is entitled to the heavenly kingdom; if you can say yes, then you are on the right track.

I Clarified the Relationship between God and Human Beings Centered on Love

And clarified the portion of responsibility and the course of indemnity, as well as the problem of Cain and Abel, and the issue of the lineage.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 717

What should we do prior to registration, in order to be born as absolute people? Without understanding this clearly, we can never reach the place where we can assert our subject nature before heaven, the place where, having overcome everything, we can stand in the stead of the perfect being.
We human beings were born because of God. The motive for our birth comes through the Creator. We are made by Him, but for what? This is the question. Did He create us because He wanted to leave diamonds to us because He likes them? Did He create us because he wants to bequeath His power, or to pass on all His knowledge because He likes knowledge? What is our origin, our beginning? This is the question. Even if we were to assert ourselves as having originated from the absolute God and being born out of an internal bond with Him, if we do not clearly understand the process for returning to the original homeland in the future, everything now underway will remain unfinished.
The motive for our birth comes from our mother and father. We were born because the lives of our father and mother intertwined. But the inheritance of the characteristics of both parents was not the result of their lives colliding. Beforehand, the fundamental action and motive that connected these two lives together, was love. When we consider the preciousness of life and love, life is in second place, and love is in first place. (177-305, 1988.5.22)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 822

The grandfather is the king of the past. Since he stands in the position of God, he is the special envoy sent from heaven representing the spirit world. The realm of the mother and father, the realm of Adam and Eve, pertains to the king and queen of the nations of this world. The grandfather and grandmother stand in the position of the king and queen of heaven. The father and mother are the king and queen representing the families of this world. Their descendants are the ones who inherit the union of these two kingships: the kingship of the grandfather representing the spirit world, and the present kingship representing the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Thus, sons and daughters should always be united with their parents and grandparents. The grandparents should always be united with their grandchildren centering on the parents. The parents, likewise, should be at one with the grandparents. The foundation of heaven will go awry if you deviate from this. (246-74, 1993.3.23

Section 2. The Foundation of Faith and the Foundation of Substance

2.2. The ultimate issue is the restoration of lineage

Summary
Because Adam lost faith, substance, and love during the Fall, humanity must rebuild these elements in reverse order by establishing a firm foundation of faith and a foundation of substance (which includes uniting Cain and Abel) 🧗‍♂️. Once these foundations are completed and people learn to love even their enemies, they can receive the Messiah, change their fallen lineage, and finally enter God’s Kingdom ✨.
