    In the face of death, Jesus cried out, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.” Even as he died, he did not protest to God, but was ready to offer a greater sacrifice without question because his will was great for the sake of God’s will. Jesus’ attitude brought him to a closer position to God because it enabled him to go deeper. In front of such a per- son, God is melted. Whoever would strike such a person would be instantly destroyed. God would personally punish that person. Hence it is said, “Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”

    There are conditions to be met in order to pass into the Kingdom of Heaven. You cannot enter it unless you have a family of your own. As long as you are the sons and daughters of God, you have missions to fulfill. After fulfilling those missions, you are destined to meet True Parents in the world of eternity. If you do not complete this formula, it is not possible to meet them. When you are blessed, the gates to the Kingdom of Heaven are opened before you, but you cannot just walk in like that. First, you need to do everything according to True Father’s instructions and be registered in the position of having completed the mission of tribal messiahs. (250-112, 1993.10.12)

Fundamentals of Indemnification and the Principle of Restoration

2.2. The consequences of failing to fulfill our portion of responsibility

Summary:
Fallen humanity did not just fail their five percent portion of responsibility, but effectively damaged ninety-seven percent of the entire creation, making the path of restoration a difficult process of complete re-creation through suffering and indemnity. Because this responsibility remains unfulfilled, God’s heart has been filled with bitter grief throughout history, and numerous spiritual and physical walls were created that must now be broken down. Throughout history, women have endured an exceptionally miserable and painful path to restore the position of Eve, whose name in Korean reflects the task to restore what was lost and return, unlike Adam whose name evokes the barriers created by their failure. Ultimately, fallen human beings must overcome this peak of deep pain by setting up indemnity conditions, completing liberation, and finally fulfilling their original human responsibility so that history’s sorrow can come to an end.

    America was born from Britain, so it is in the son’s position. Before becoming an archangel, the son is in the position of Abel. When the son is born, he has the right of the eldest son. Since he has this right, he must become the first son on God’s side and in this capacity he must attend a mother on God’s side, but this position was lost. When the island nation of Britain separated from Rome, it was in the position of archangel before it received the position of Eve. It was in the position of the restored archangel rather than the fallen archangel. It was in the position of Abel. America must become a nation able to inherit the right of the eldest son so that it can accomplish restoration through indemnity. (138-308, 1986.1.24)

   You should not stain your Blessing lineage. All of you should be fully aware of this. Your lineage is your asset that will enable you to succeed to and inherit heaven. It is like a document of your blood relatives, or deed papers to your lineage. It is the equivalent of your genealogy. The issue is how you protect your purity. (263-62, 1994.8.16)

2.2. The consequences of failing to fulfill our portion of responsibility

Summary:
In the Unification Church, the concept of “our portion of responsibility” is deeply significant because human beings have not yet fulfilled it, causing the entire world, history, and all past, present, and future generations to be trapped in a realm of bitter misfortune under evil sovereignty. The realm of Satan began precisely because Adam and Eve failed to fulfill their responsibility through self-centered love, making them a fallen root that passed this failure down as another parent to all human descendants. Because humanity fell below the line of responsibility, God has had to endure a long, painful path of suffering while waiting for us to bridge the gap and raise ourselves back up. Ultimately, good sovereignty exists above the fulfillment of human responsibility, meaning humankind must exert every effort to overcome Satan’s domain and restore what was lost.

    How happy God, True Parents, and Blessed Families will be with the proclamation of the Family Pledge! “Seek our original homeland!” This earth is the original homeland. It means completing the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven, the original ideal of creation, in our original homeland. Through what? Through love. All have followed the path of love that can return to the original homeland. We are to re-create that by seeking and restoring the original love within fallen people. (297-209, 1998.11.20)

    What is your destination? Where will you go and live? I will go to the spirit world and stay at the highest point of all kinds of love. Just as there is a North Pole and a South Pole, there is a Love Pole. No matter how hard you try searching at the half way point, or however much you go around, you will not find me. Since you cannot find me, you might say, “Rev. Moon went to hell.” Would it be easy to stay at the highest point? “I will not freeze to death at the North Pole. I will be like a fireball of love!” This is a great ideal and a great system of thought. So, everything will be fulfilled. Even God is inside me. The people of the world are inside me. Those who say that they will inherit love are of my tribe! You’re not offended? (108-182, 1980.9.28)

Section 2. Human Beings Have a Portion of Responsibility

2.1. The reason God gave us a portion of responsibility

Summary:
Although God is all-powerful, He was unable to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth because human beings fell and left their five percent portion of responsibility unfulfilled. Adam and Eve failed during the necessary process of their growth by making a mistake in the realm of love, proving that no goal can be reached unless an individual successfully completes their portion of responsibility by becoming one with God and the Principle. Because we are descendants of the Fall, humanity faces the painful destiny of needing to change its lineage through a path of indemnity, requiring each person to exert their utmost effort to become true children of God. Even True Father had to pioneer his extremely treacherous path without God directly guiding or protecting him, as God could only watch and wait until a perfected human being fulfilled their responsibility to receive His ultimate love.

    When I speak of rebirth, I do not mean that you must be reborn through the bodies of parents who are the descendants of fallen Adam and Eve, but through those who are not in any way connected to the Fall. Unless you are reborn through such parents, you cannot return to God. The root of sin began from Adam and Eve. Unless you step over this and are reborn in a position not related to the original sin, you can never ever return to the presence of God. (22-269, 1969.5.4)

    Your family should not become secularized or slaves of habit. You should not think, “Things will be better in the future even though it is terrible now.” You are to be perfect now; the present is the problem. When the past and the present are perfected, the future will be perfect. Not having had a perfect day in the Garden of Eden still causes us to suffer the effects of the Fall.
    The ideal is the place where the past, present, and future can be united into one. You should be able to offer up the present. God’s desire is to set up the eternal stepping stone on earth. This is the historical point of synthesis. (21-77, 1968.10.20)

Section 2. Human Beings Have a Portion of Responsibility

2.1. The reason God gave us a portion of responsibility

Summary:
God gave human beings their portion of responsibility to share His highest authority and creative power, allowing them to participate in the work of creation and rise to a position that truly represents God Himself. This responsibility was not created because of the Fall; even in a perfect world, God completes ninety-five percent of the ideal of creation, and human beings must fulfill their own five percent portion to achieve perfection and earn the key to dominate the universe with love. Because this principle is absolute and carries no exceptions, God cannot simply fix everything as He pleases, which is why He has also had to walk a long path of intense hardship to help restore humanity. Ultimately, this five percent responsibility is a grand privilege that gives human beings the value of becoming God’s true partners, meaning that both God and humanity must bear the weight of responsibility together under any circumstances.
