From God’s point of view, this is a fallen world where no patriots, filial children, saints or divine sons and daughters have existed. Hence, the Messiah must come to the earth and form God’s family; children of filial piety will emerge from that family, patriots will emerge from the national foundation, saints from the global foundation, and holy sons and daughters from the cosmic foundation. It is my calling to restore what was lost by the first and second Adams. I need to restore that nation at all costs. If you are indeed Unification Church members, you should be able to say, “We will establish God’s Kingdom. We will become patriots, saints and God’s divine sons and daughters” even if it means having to give and sacrifice everything spiritually and physically. Only then can God bless you and say, “You are really my true filial children, patriots, saints and divine sons and daughters. I will bless you.” Thence will you inherit everything; that place is the homeland of all Unification Church members. (293-217, 1998.5.26)

So what is the four-position foundation? It is for perfected Adam and Eve as God’s son and daughter to be blessed within His love to become the husband and wife that He desires. After that, it is to raise children to perfection because children are necessary in order to bring about the family that God desires. (80- 268, 1975.11.2)

Love and Marriage
Section 3. The Blessing Is the Ceremony to Convey God’s Love
Our Unification Church calls marriage the Blessing. (Blessed Family – 544)
The Blessing means true parents and true children meeting together to realize the purpose of creation. (19-73, 1967.12.27)
What is the Blessing? It is becoming one with God. If you become one with God, you will gain everything. You will receive everything God has, everything the Subject has. (Blessed Family – 544)
So far, you have not been able to make a complete connection with True Parents. It is the Blessing that is given to you so that you can make that connection. (23-332, 1969.6.15)
Although there are myriads of people in the world, they can be divided into men and women. Our fundamental purpose is to find a secret method by which they can become one. We are pursuing this because the origin of such a fruitful family has not yet appeared. When such an initiating point appears and gives root to its seeds, they will grow into new trees. This is the Blessing Ceremony.(31‐190, 1970.5.31)
The Blessing Ceremony is not simply a wedding ceremony where a man and a woman come together and then raise a family. Wedding ceremonies have so far been self-centered, but our wedding ceremony should be conducted in a sacred and magnificent manner, as something to return joy to God and as a precious offering to indemnify history. The Principle clearly explains that our wedding ceremony is an effort not only to resolve God’s sorrow caused by the Fall of Adam and Eve, but also to surpass the standard of bride and bridegroom that Jesus was unable to reach. (God’s Will and the World – 27)
Even though you have established faith through God’s providence, you have to be engrafted in order to be restored as God’s child. (Blessed Family – 508)
To say that you are to be reborn does not mean rebirth through the flesh and blood of parents who are descendants of the fallen Adam and Eve; rather, you are to be reborn through the flesh and blood of the parents who have nothing to do with the Fall. Otherwise, you cannot return to God. Since the fundamental root of sin started with Adam and Eve, you cannot return to God’s side until you have stepped over it and acquired the qualification that you are born in a place that has no connection with the original sin. (22-269, 1969.5.4)
In being reborn, you should not fall behind Adam and Eve. If you did, the fundamental restoration would not be realized. The process of rebirth must start with individuals, then families, peoples, nations, and ultimately the entire world. Today’s Christians do not know this fact. (58-42, 1972.6.6)
Even a grandmother over the age of eighty knows that if she died without receiving the Blessing, she would be unable to enter the heavenly kingdom. Therefore, even if a man may be thousands of kilometers away, she will want to receive at least a condition of Blessing by tying a silk thread to him even at the last moment of death. This is what Blessing is like. I am destined to meet with difficulty because I have to do this work. (22‐16, 1969.1.1)
