Devoted children are people who love
their parents and children. The first page
is love, the process is love, and the final
page is love. The family cannot become
the core. Above the family there must be
a nation, and its core is the way of the
loyal patriot. What does that mean? It
means loving your nation. Loyal patri-
ots, saints, and holy sons and daughters
are the core; but what kind of core are
they all based on? Humankind has not
known that the core, the essence, is love;
it has never been explained clearly. All
of this means that the stable point upon
which we can settle in these Last Days
and in the future is nothing other than
love.
Owing to this, spouses must love
each other in order to become children
of filial piety. You can become loyal
patriots after becoming people of filial
to love the family that channels love’s
life force. The way of loyal patriots is to
give love based on the life force of the
nation. The way of saints is to connect
love to the life force of the world. In this
light, the human moral concepts which
have been taught in the past become
clear. You have to know that this is the
right way. It is the way of saints to love
the world. This has set the standard of
human moral education, and now you
understand the correctness of such edu-
cation. (111-173, 1981.2.15)

You have the responsibility to reach
the land of Israel with your family. Just
as the twelve tribes of Israel had to go
to their assigned areas in the land, you
are to march forward to take your fam-
ily and find the land of your inheritance
for your tribe. (35-302, 1970.10.30)
