Would you rather be nationalists or cosmopolitans? Religion is not just about cosmopolitanism. It follows a doctrine that strives not only for the good of humankind, but also for the good of God. Communism and democracy, on the other hand, strive for the good of human beings alone. So, which doctrine would be better, the one that aspires for the good of both human beings and God, or the one that aspires for the good of human beings alone? Which is better, the doctrine that is for both God and human beings, or the doctrine that is just for the servants, leaving out the master? Religion is good because it aspires for the good of God, as well. (41-44, 1971.2.12)

The love of Jesus, the groom, and the love of the Holy Spirit, the bride, must unite into one. Their united love must then become one with your bones and flesh. In other words, as Jesus said, “I am in you, and you will be in me.” There can be no rebirth if the foundation of love is not established. (114-27, 1981.5.14)

Selections from the Speeches of Rev. Sun Myung Moon
Book 5
EARTHLY LIFE AND THE SPIRIT WORLD
Chapter 1
The Existence of Human Beings in the Physical and Spirit Worlds
Section 5. Blessing and Eternal Life
5.3. Love and eternal life
5.3.3. True love is absolutely necessary
Where does God exist in the spirit world? He exists at the absolute center, the center of love. That love is the true love which takes the shortest perpendicular path. First of all, you have to know God. Second, you have to know eternal life, and third, you must know true love. This is an investment of more than one hundred percent. Eternal life exists where there is an investment of more than one hundred percent. Eternal life cannot exist without true love. Those who do not attain eternal life cannot meet God. (205-128, 1990.7.29)
How will we bring order to the world from now forward? The world will be brought to order firstly through altruism, secondly through true love and thirdly through eternal life.
What is true love? It requires an investment of more than all of one’s life. True love cannot exist where such investment is not made. It materializes from a place where an investment greater than one’s life is made. Without true love coming into being, eternal life cannot exist. This is because you were all born from satanic blood, from Satan’s lineage. Hence the biblical injunction, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment.” What does this mean? It means to love with all your heart and with all your will and with all your life. This is the First Commandment.
The Second Commandment is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” What does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself? It means to love with your life. You have to invest your whole life. You have to invest your whole life because otherwise, first, you would not be able to make Satan surrender and second, you would not be able to free yourself from satanic circumstances and third, you would not be able to rid yourself of the satanic lineage. Even if you are able to free yourself from satanic circumstances, there is nothing you can do about the satanic lineage. True love goes beyond life.
Men and women were born to live altruistically. Men were born for the sake of women. This is the absolute truth; the eternal truth. This is so for the sake of true love. That’s how it is for both men and women. People say they wish they could be united eternally as couples. Then what will they do once they are one? They will occupy God. They cannot do that without true love.
Who is to be the owner in your home? One who lives one’s entire life for the sake of the whole family will be the central figure representing God and the parents. One who has a hundred friends and lives for their sake during one’s lifetime will earn the respect of those hundred people and will be their center. So an owner who eternally lives for the sake of others in the eternal world will be the eternal owner.
That person is God. Incidentally, God is our father and therefore He declares that He wishes to be together with us and the entire universe. There eternal life can be found. Eternal life does not exist in any other place. The scripture, “He who seeks to gain his life will lose it, but he who is willing to lose his life for my sake will gain eternal life” means that you have to overcome death. Without overcoming death you cannot truly live. (205-258, 1990.9.9)
