You should stand in a straight line with God at least during morning Pledge service. It is a truly serious hour. You should repent if you are even one second late. You should also prepare some candy as holy food, like you would for Holy Communion, and share it with your children. (27-85, 1969.11.26)

From this day forth, you do not need anything else but the true love of the True Parents. The task left for you to fulfill is to connect true life and lineage with true love. All of you must therefore be blessed by the True Parents. This is not a wild fancy. When I announced that I would bless 30,000 couples last year, pastors of established churches all laughed at me, saying “Ha! Ha! Ha! Listen to that dreamer, that half-crazed man!” (245-160, 1993.2.28)

Selections from the Speeches of Rev. Sun Myung Moon
Book 8
Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity
Chapter 1
Fundamentals of Indemnification and the Principle of Restoration
Section 4. The Discovery of the Portion of Responsibility and its Significance
Summary:
The eternal law of the “human portion of responsibility” ⚖️ is a foundational concept created by God and uncovered through struggle by Rev. Moon, revealing that humanity must fulfill its given responsibility to receive God’s absolute love and complete His ideal of creation. Because the original human ancestors failed to complete this responsibility, Satan hid this truth, causing widespread social contradictions, spiritual suffering, and the ongoing need for “restoration through indemnity.” ⛓️ Understanding this law explains why evil and suffering exist, showing that only by paying indemnity and overcoming Satan can humanity restore its original dignity and establish the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. 🕊️
God’s love is absolute; yet at the same time, that love cannot be found without standing in the position of having fulfilled the human portion of responsibility. Rather than thinking about eating breakfast in the morning or about your daily life, you have to deal with this fundamental matter. The existence of our portion of responsibility was my discovery, but do you think it happened by my just sitting down with all of you? I discovered it through struggle. If this truth were discovered and disseminated the satanic world would totally collapse. So, Satan hid it, he covered it up under a huge mountain. (149-318, 1986.12.21)
Who in the Unification Church created the term “the human portion of responsibility”? I discovered it. I did not make it up. God created it. God did that. So, before I discovered it, did this concept exist, or not? It has existed from the beginning of time. This law is an eternal law. You must understand this. (149-318, 1986.12.21)
The term, “human portion of responsibility” is important in the Unification Church. By fulfilling this Adam and Eve would have become perfect. Perfected human beings would have emerged for the first time. Through this, God’s purpose in creating humankind would have been fulfilled. This would have meant that the authority of God as a Creator would have been firmly established. That shows how important it is. The position in which human beings complete their portion of responsibility would result in the fulfillment of God’s ideal of creation. (169-45, 1987.10.25)
You must know how great it was that I discovered the term “the human portion of responsibility.” How important do you think it is? The universe is at stake. As a result of this, God, the universe, and hell have not been liberated; all the injustices of history and the contradictions of society are caught within the confines of the portion of responsibility, and everyone is groaning within these walls. (124-94, 1983.1.30)
The term “human portion of responsibility” existed before I did. Do you realize that this law will remain eternally on earth, beyond the age we are living in and long after I depart? Some members wonder why the words “human portion of responsibility” are necessary and why they are needed. (149-318, 1986.12.21)
If the Unification Church had not appeared God could never have been understood. Since the beginning of human history there has been no way to solve the problems in the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds. There has been no explanation as to why human beings have had to walk the path of great suffering and why, if God exists, an evil world came into being and drove humanity into such misery. Yet today, the followers of the Unification Church know clearly that this is because of the human portion of responsibility. This is an amazing fact. (138-120, 1986.1.19)
If God had not established the portion of responsibility for fallen human beings, we would have thought that restoration was to take place automatically and that the words “restoration through indemnity” would not have appeared. Indemnity must be paid. Why does indemnity have to be paid? It is because humankind has a portion of responsibility. The first human ancestors destroyed this, the very thing that they should have perfected; as a result, the whole of humanity still has to fulfill its given responsibility. To do so, everyone gains dominion over everything in the satanic world, stands in a position to dominate Satan, and reaches the position where they can receive the love of God with dignity. When that happens, Satan will be cut off. (143-77, 1986.3.16)
