You should become the sons and daughters who, from the valley of tears, can receive a response when calling for the Father. You should become the people who, when you call, “Father!” from a place of tears, He will reply, “Yes! I am here.” When you call, “Father!” from a place of piercing pain, shedding blood and sweat, He will reply, “I have endured, so you can too.” When you call for Him even at the moment when death approaches, He will reply, “I am here, be at ease.” The question is how much you attend the Father, how much you consult with Him and how much you live with Him in such situations. No matter how hard you call the Father from a place of self-centered glory it does no good because the Father has still not seen His day of glory. (11-102, 1961.2.12)

When God looks for a partner of absolute love, whom does He seek? We can conclude with certainty that He seeks a human being. Therefore we find the old proverb, “Amongst all creation, human beings are most precious.” What does this mean? We can reach the logical conclusion that humankind can be the partner of the Creator’s eternal love, and it is natural that the partner who is one with God’s love will live forever. Eternal life is a natural implication of this logic.
Eternal life begins from here. The question of how to establish a rational argument for eternal life based on the relationship of love is an extremely precious one in religion. Eternal life can- not be found in only man or only woman. It cannot be found in God alone. We can conclude that eternal life lies within God’s love. (218-211, 1991.7.29)

Chapter 2
The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall
Section 3. Satan Is the Adulterer of God’s Love
3.2. Satan is the enemy of love
Summary:
Satan claims protection under God’s unchanging law ⚖️, arguing that because God created him based on an eternal standard of love, God cannot change His nature or act destructively toward him even after his fall. Because this principle of eternal love remains unchanged, entering the heavenly kingdom requires loving one’s enemy 🕊️—including the fallen archangel. To overcome Satan, believers must expose his hidden crimes 🔍 and bring formal accusations against him before God until even unfallen archangels testify to the truth, forcing Satan to surrender.
What are Satan’s claims? He would tell God, “You are God, but I became the devil. I admit that. I am the devil. But then, if I look at Your principles, I want to ask You: when You created the archangel and Adam and Eve, did you create the archangel Lucifer based on the standard of eternal love or based on the standard of momentary, temporary love?” How should God respond to him? Would He say, “I created you based on the standard of temporary love”? No doubt, God would have to say, “I created you based on the eternal standard.” Then, if Satan asks, “Even though I have changed, isn’t it true that You cannot change?” God would respond, “That’s right.” Satan would say, “Although I changed and acted destructively, isn’t it true that You cannot do the same?” And God would answer him “That is true.” That is how it is. This is the one thing Satan is holding on to. (125-264, 1983.3.27)
You cannot enter the heavenly kingdom without loving your enemy. I told you this, but when people in the spirit world look at you, they are so envious. Why do you have to love your enemy? It is because even though Adam and Eve fell, God’s principles and laws did not change. The principles and laws by which one enters the heavenly kingdom did not change before or after Adam’s Fall. Originally, if Adam had not fallen but had reached perfection, at the time of his perfection, God and Adam would have been one… The Principle provides that God and Adam in unity should have loved the archangel Lucifer and brought him to the heavenly kingdom together. This principle still holds true. So, Satan uses it when he makes his claims. (182282, 1988.10.26)
In this world, if no one knows about the reality of a person’s crime, the criminal can act boldly wherever he goes, as if he has done nothing wrong. However, if even a small boy points out that he has witnessed the crime, the criminal must submit to that. Thus, in order to make the devil Satan surrender, we should clarify his identity, expose the nature of his crime, and initiate a movement to expel him from heaven and earth. (53-194, 1972.2.21)
God is the central figure of the eternal law, so we must drag Satan before God and accuse him. We must bring charges against him. After watching Satan justify himself, we must present the prosecutor’s final argument and bind him so tightly that he is unable to move. Then, not the fallen archangel, but the archangels who have not fallen must testify, “That is right! That is exactly what happened! That is correct!” (65-201, 1972.11.19)
