By concluding the ceremony of Chil Il Jeol, we inaugurate the era in which the True Parents can do as they please. Until this time, I was not free to do as I pleased. If I could have done all that I wanted to do, why would I have suffered? Why would I have acted so powerlessly before the world? There is a time for everything. Without fulfilling my responsibility with regard to time, I cannot lift up my face and lead others. (218- 16, 1991.7.1)

Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in His own image, male and female He created them.” We can deduce from this that God has both male and female qualities. God needs an object because He cannot live alone. Therefore, He had no choice but to create this world. As a result, a man and a woman were created. (Blessed Family – 307)

Summary:
To fulfill our highest purpose, we must become true sons and daughters of God by connecting our hearts directly to His, making His path, situation, and will our very own. It is especially vital for young people in their twenties to keep their bodies and minds completely clean, unstained, and pure so they can bring a holy heart to the altar where God can joyfully unite men and women of pure love. Because human blood lines were originally stained, individuals must practice total obedience and accept guidance from the Unification Movement to change their lineage and allow God’s overflowing love to become the absolute center of their lives. Earthly life is deeply precious, and staying faithful to this pure, unchanging first love—even risking your life for it—is the exact standard required to escape Satan’s realm of death, act with true filial piety, and ultimately claim the highest possible position in the kingdom of heaven.
10.2. Children of heaven
We have to become sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. We have to truly become children who can carry on His lineage. We have to establish a relationship of unity wherein our Father’s heart is firmly bound with our hearts and where the aorta of our Father’s heart is firmly connected to the aorta of our own hearts. The path our Father walks has to be our path, the situation our Father is in has to be our situation, and the will of our Father has to be our will. (27-270, 1969.12.21)
Think about it. As a young person nearing your twenties, where will you take your clean, unstained, holy, and pure heart, all wrapped up? You should bring it to the altar where heaven will be most happy and it will bring joy to God. The sacred foundation on which God can bind together men and women of pure love like you is where the bride and bridegroom are to meet. Even so, you were ignorant of its value. (64-84, 1972.10.24)
Your body is precious. Do not stain your body but fulfill your filial duty. You have to be responsible to escape from Satan’s realm of death with a body that is approved by God. This is the highest goal and the standard that people should have. According to the principle of creation, you cannot help but be that way. (15-202, 1965.10.9)
Because in front of God your blood is not pure, you should be totally obedient in order to change this. Therefore, if you are disobedient you have to be taught the way of obedience even if it means being chastised. That means that you are taught God’s love. This is the Unification Church. This is why the Unification Church will become the center of all religions. (33-332, 1970.8.23)
Now we should make the seed of pure lineage. If you split open a seed, you will find the albumen at the center of the seed. The center of the albumen is God’s love. Then, if you were to open up your skull, what would be at the center? It would be God’s love. The center of the seed, in other words, the source that can become the root, is God’s love. It begins from God’s love. Yet, have you ever said, “I have God’s love. Even though I look humble and though I am no more than five or six feet tall, God’s love is overflowing inside the wellspring of my heart?” (33-332, 1970.8.23)
Life on earth is precious. It is especially important for young people to keep their bodies pure. A clean and obedient mind and body are what it takes to become genuinely filial to your parents. (15-201, 1965.10.9)
You have to go before God with the unchanging heart you had toward your first love. (129-149, 1983.10.9)
You should know that people who go to the next world having remained faithful to their first love can go to the highest position in the heavenly kingdom. (129- 135, 1983.10.9)
The people on earth who can go to heaven are those who have lived their lives centered on their first love, giving up everything and risking their lives for the sake of their first love. Therefore, you must do well in your relationship with your first love. (128-85, 1983.6.5)
