Through fallen Adam and Eve, the eight members of Adam’s family including Cain, Abel, Seth and their respective spouses all fell. Therefore, the Blessing is where you can once again proceed towards the completion stage by setting conditions of indemnity. You must feel the love of the Parents while you are doing so. The origin of life comes about when a person is born through the love of the parents. Only when you pass through the place where you can respect the value of life more than anything else in the world, can you proceed to the new path of life. That is how the Divine Principle works. (35-233, 1970.10.19)
Richard: True Father Moon is here talking about rebirth. Rebirth involves parents. Through the Blessing you are engrafted to True Parents. See Restoring the Family IS Salvation.

A long time ago, when the families of loyal subjects received something good, they first offered it to the king of the nation. That was the rule of the life of loyalty in Korea. From that perspective, Korean courtesy reflects something central to heaven that cannot be found in any other nation. Confucians follow the teachings of Confucius, and there is quite a lot of traditional conduct prescribed in Confucian teachings that is close to heavenly law. You should ask your descendants to perform a sacrificial rite for you in the future. So far, the regulations of life and the procedure for holding a funeral have not been established centering upon the Principle, but once the standard is established in the future, you should follow it.
You should develop and protect the vitality of life in order to survive and grow, no matter what kind of storm comes, overcoming your environment and taking root deeply, centered upon the belief that God is always with you in every situation. If you become like that, it will not be a problem for God to set up His laws. But if you do not develop like that, it becomes problematic. (31-292, 1970.6.4)

Section 5. Let Us Liberate God
5.2. God’s liberation is a task for humankind
In saving the world, we should first liberate God. The world can be liberated only after God is liberated. Isn’t that so? I am saying that we should liberate the world after we have liberated God. So let us spread the Unification Church to the ends of the earth, establish bonds of heart, and show our determination by driving a stake into the ground to melt the world with love. This is the battle we are fighting. (162-221, 1987.4.12)
Resolving to continue until God is liberated, you should gather around you those on our side like clouds to follow True Parents to their final destination. From these individuals, families will emerge; and from these families, tribes will emerge.
The value of the sacrificial offerings on the levels of tribe, ethnic group and nation will be reproduced in the world that attends the Second Parents, thereby restoring through indemnity, as resurrected beings of substance, all the saints who sacrificed themselves in history. Our destiny prevents us from leaving this land without fulfilling this. We must fill up this hole even if we die. This is the fate that no one can avoid. We should quickly follow this path. (166-74, 1987.5.28)
We must liberate God. God should be able to visit any corner of this land and sing a hymn of praise: “My ideal of creation is entirely realized through work done by day and night. I am grateful and amazed.” At the same time, God should be able to love the world, the universe, the spiritual world and the physical world. However, this has not occurred and Satan’s dark occupation reaches almost up to God’s throne. To liberate God, therefore, we must liberate the spirit world. (166-78, 1987.5.28)
I like liberation very much. I like liberation much more than you do. I also like unification. How much do I like it? So much that I will die for it. The gate of unification and liberation does not belong to someone named Moon; it belongs to God, the Great Master of the universe. I asked God, “I am sure there are many things that You like, but what is it that You like most?” He answered, “It is liberation.” His answer was simple: “What I like most is liberation.” So I asked, “Why can’t You attain liberation?” And He said, “I cannot do it alone.” This is the problem. God cannot do it alone. (166-99, 1987.5.30)
Do you love your nation or do you love your children? Have you loved your own people only after opening things up for your children? Have you loved the world after opening the way to the nation? Only after opening the way to go to heaven will you see the dawn of complete liberation. At dawn, the rays of the sun permeate every valley and completely liberate all the people who have been held hostage in death. You have to sing of freedom and peace and declare the coming of the unified world along with liberation. Only then can you disregard the history of thousands of years and become a prince of liberation. You must be a standard-bearer of unification in order to receive God’s praise and enjoy eternal happiness in God’s bosom of love. That is how it is. Are you confident to do this? (166-99, 1987.5.30)
Humankind needs liberation, but first we need to liberate God. Only then will the liberation of humankind follow. Nobody thinks about this. Christian ministers think of God exercising judgment surrounded by glory. But this is a mistake. The God I know is not like that. We must liberate God from the realm of death. (166-150, 1987.6.5)
The age of perfection comes after the Old, New and Completed Testament Ages. Perfection means perfection of love. It means the liberation of parents, the liberation of children, the liberation of all things and the liberation of God. All these must be accomplished at once. Everything that went to hell all at once through the fallen parents will be restored all at once at the risk of heaven and earth. (166-326, 1987.6.14)
