There is nothing God does not know.
He is all-knowing and all-powerful, has
full authority, and is omnipresent. But
what does this have to do with us? I am
asking what it has to do with us. You
may say, “Oh, since He has full author-
ity, it should be easy for Him to rule over
me. Since He is omnipresent, it should
be easy for Him to monitor me. Since
He knows everything, He will analyze
me thoroughly and leave no escape for
me.” What good would come from God
ruling over us through His omniscience
and omnipotence? (130-209, 1984.1.22)

No one opposed me when I pro-
claimed myself as the True Parent and
Savior from July 3 to August 24 because,
as I explained in terms of what the Lord
would be returning to achieve, no one
had been able to do what I had accom-
plished for the world. As such, Christians
from the established churches could not
gainsay it. Then I held the 30,000 Cou-
ples Blessing, which means that 60,000
people were blessed. Before the ceremo-
ny, those Christians opposed it in every
possible way, claiming it was all a down-
right lie, but when I actually performed
it, they were dumbstruck. Once they
had actually seen me conduct the cer-
emony, all the established churches that
had until then been spreading lies about
us and opposing us on all sides were
silenced for good. (239-274, 1992.12.6)

The Freedom, Liberation and Unification God Seeks to Attain

Rev. Sun Myung Moon
October 12, 1958

John 8:31-47

The title of the sermon I want to reflect upon with you is “The Freedom, Liberation and Unification God Seeks to Attain.” I will speak briefly upon this topic. I will speak about “The Freedom, Liberation and Unification God Seeks to Attain” from the standpoint of faith.

You think that God is omnipotent and nothing is impossible for Him. God has so many abilities. Yet if one asks, searching deep down in his Shim Jung, whether God’s heart is free, I cannot say it is. If one asks if God is amid the joy of liberation with a promising providence in front of Him, that is not true either. Moreover, if one asks whether the activities of man and all things are motivated by God’s Shim Jung, that is, whether they are in a unified position in which they move with the movement of God’s heart, we cannot but discover that this is not true.

It is the original character and original Shim Jung of God to want to be free. God also is the Father who should dominate the universe from a liberated position. The fact that He cannot do so is the grief of God, all things and history. Although He should bind the created world with the unifying ideal and dominate it, He cannot do that. We cannot but acknowledge that this is God’s sorrow, pain and grief.

When God first created the world, the original ideal was the garden of freedom, liberation and unification. Yet you cannot deny that there was a reason God’s ideal was not fulfilled. That became the source of sorrow for God, humankind and all creation. What was this source of distress? We know well that it was the fall of man. In restoring humankind, God must have an ideal for this society, and we must also have that ideal. What is the standard of this ideal? You should know that freedom for the sake of God’s Shim Jung, liberation centered on God’s situation, and unification centered on God’s ideal are God’s hope, our hope and the standard of the ideal.

It is written in the Bible, “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (II Corinthians 3:17) The Father is a spirit of freedom, liberation and unification. How can the Shim Jung of freedom, which transcends any trials, be instilled in your Shim Jung, you who serve such a Father? How can the point of liberation be found which can overcome all the walls of suffering? When will the peaceful moment of total unification be found, which our center of ideals desires? These are questions you should seriously consider.

Since God is not free, liberated and unified, the freedom being advocated on the earth today is not true human freedom. The liberation being proclaimed is not complete liberation, and the unification being promoted is not complete unification. Humankind has progressed from a clan, to a tribe, to a nation and a country, but such partial unification is not true unification.
