What was God’s will? It was for Adam and Eve to establish the standard of the perfection of man and woman and establish God’s family based on His love. Yet, was this done? God’s family was not established. Jesus understood and also believed in this aspect of God’s will, but due to the disbelief of the Jewish people, Israel’s historical four-thousand-year foundation for Jesus and Judaism collapsed, and Jesus died miserably on the cross. Until now, who has understood this heart-wrenching situation? No one! You came to understand it through me today. That being the case, how glad Jesus must be! As the bridegroom, Jesus could not perfect God’s family without establishing his bride as the true mother. Without Jesus’ family being established, the will of God would remain unfulfilled.

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)

Sin and Restoration Through Indemnity

The Formula for Indemnification and Restoration
Section 2. The Historical Indemnity Course of True Father
2.1. What our attitude should be in following the course of indemnity
Summary
Rev. Sun Myung Moon describes enduring extreme life-and-death battles with Satan ⚔️ and facing intense personal suffering without ever compromising his unwavering standard of heart. He explains that his lifelong sacrifices established a spiritual foundation of indemnity 🌌 to liberate God from thousands of years of historical grief and sorrow 💔. Expressing deep personal anguish, he calls on believers to recognize God’s immense suffering, take on His hardships, and become true filial children 🕊️ who can relieve God’s burden and love humanity unconditionally.
I have confronted Satan in hundreds and even thousands of life-and-death situations. I have never compromised the standard I set, even when unspeakably difficult circumstances surged against me repeatedly like waves. Even if my legs break, or an eyeball comes out, or my head falls off, I will not depart from the standard of heart I resolved to maintain at the outset. Thus, as long as I do not die, I will win. (22-184, 1968.2.2)
Throughout my life, I have fought with my life on the line. In the ordinary world, people can avoid pain and suffering, but I cannot. It is not something I can overcome with just physical power or by force of arms. Unless I follow the heavenly principles and laws, I cannot avoid the arrows that come from all directions. Such a battle might be even more difficult than when God created heaven and earth. You cannot, even in your dreams, imagine how I have paid indemnity in this way and built up an internal foundation. The fact that I achieved a transition point based on such a foundation can be called a cosmic victory. (35-166, 1970.10.13)
If I were to die right now, my concern would be to know who on this earth could love God as I have done, and love humanity as I have done. In that sense, I have to live for a long time. You must know that I am watching all of you, hoping desperately that such a person will quickly appear from amongst you. If God were to bless Rev. Moon, the best present and blessing God could give me would be such a person. If a person were to appear now, who could love God, who has been betrayed and suffered until today, more than I have done, and could work harder than I have done in order to liberate humankind, today would be a day of glory. (92-293, 1977.4.18)
One spiritualist wept profusely after praying about whether I was genuine or a fake. He began crying bitterly without knowing why. He cried for one day, two days, every day. Why was that? In order to know me, you must experience this kind of agonized heart. Without this, you cannot understand me. Should someone say one word about me, I will burst into tears with one thousand years of grief in my bosom; but who knows such circumstances as mine? If I had not known God, I would not have been slandered in that way. Because of my “crime” of knowing God too well… How sad it is for God who can only place His trust in me. In twenty years I had to restore through indemnity the entangled history of two thousand years. Is that easy? Can we easily speak about it? (137-183, 1986.1.1)
Through the principle of indemnity, we must liberate God from all of the sorrowful circumstances, pain, and suffering that He endured throughout history. This is how we understand what un-filial children we have been and how much suffering we have caused God by our misdeeds. This is how we become true filial children who can attend their Parent with the filial piety that outdoes our past lack of filial piety. Thus, in serving God, we must understand the toils of our Parent who sacrificed everything and made such effort through history. Step by step, gradually, we have come into the age where we can clear away past mistakes. So we must attend God, and at least from today, take upon ourselves the hardships of God, so that He can be completely liberated. (144-274, 1986.4.25)
