Think “I Am God’s Person, a Citizen of Heaven”

You should live your life as if you are sharpening a dagger to ruthlessly cut out the sinful nature that permeates the customs and habits of the fallen
world

    How do you live eternally? Christians say that you can attain eternal life and be saved by believing in Jesus but that makes no sense. Only through love can you be saved. From the viewpoint of God’s principles of creation, only a true person is God’s partner in love. Therefore, if someone has true love, he must be able to live eternally. Once you enter the realm of that love, whether you are in the spirit world or on earth, you will come to know where you should live.
    If a large ship sailing across the ocean faces the danger of destruction, the rats inside the ship try to escape to dry land. Even though they are nothing but small animals, they can distinguish which is the right way to take and go in that direction when faced with matters of life and death.
    How would it be in the case of human beings who should be the lords of all creation? Why have they become the way they are? It was because of the Fall. How will you remove the mask of the Fall or free yourself from the devil’s love, life, and lineage?
    To free yourself means to break away from something. It means to completely break away from and stand in an autonomous position with no relation to Satan. (215-53, 1991.2.6)

    August 25, 1995 saw 720,000 people from all over the world, 360,000 couples of young men and women, blessed in marriage in a holy Blessing officiated by God and the True Parents. They were brought together as ideal couples as God originally intended at the time of creation. What this means is that the husbands and wives can finally establish the model of true couples and create ideal families through God’s true love. (271‑147, 1995.8.27)

To receive salvation through love, you have to have your true love partner, your husband or wife, and receive the Blessing. Continue reading “Think “I Am God’s Person, a Citizen of Heaven””

Arrogance Is Your Enemy

Arrogance and stubbornness are the natures and elements of Satan.

What does it mean for you to serve with all your heart, with your entire mind, and with all your devotion? It means to offer your life. Is there anything greater than that? To devote yourself with all your heart means giving up your life. To serve with all your mind and devotion means giving up your life. Isn’t there a saying, “Sincerity moves heaven?” Is there a limit to sincerity, an end to one’s devotion? Put your life on the line and offer devotion. God will recognize the person who is ready to sacrifice his life and offer a life of devotion. (38-242, 1971.1.8)

   After the Blessing of 3.6 Million Couples, it will be a downhill ride – descent is easy. That will be the 36 million Couples: the growth stage. What follows is the Blessing of 360 Million Couples; by then we would reach level terrain at the bottom of the hill. Descending there, we can return to the state of Adam’s family before the Fall. By achieving this, we are entering the age when parents will bless their children. From this point on, you can perform the preliminary Blessing ceremonies yourselves. Recognized as John the Baptist families, you will be able to do that in the name of the True Parents. (287-144, 1997.9.14) Continue reading “Arrogance Is Your Enemy”

People Do Not Pay Enough Attention to Each Other

In horizontal relationships, it is rare that people pay respect to each other centering on the horizontal connection.

    The Fall, having constituted a wrongful marriage in the Garden of Eden, is now being reversed by the True Parents through rightful marriages. Clearing up the mess created by the false parents, the True Parents are abolishing hell and blessing billions of ancestors in the spirit world, and restoring the true parent-child relationship centering on true love and bequeathing the original true love, true life, and true lineage. In this way, the ownership of the model of true love of the eight stages, which is God’s ideal of creation, is perfected; that is, we establish the eternal, unchanging, true love tradition by going through true gestation, infancy, fraternity, adolescence (engagement), conjugality, parenthood, grandparenthood, and finally kingship. Upon this foundation, we can perfect the model of true love, the parent-child relationship.
    God’s absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal love, life, and lineage are the unchanging model of true love to be inherited by infinite generations of our descendants. True love is central to oneness between parents and children, husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. Parents become the owners of love through their children, husbands through their wives, and elder siblings through their younger siblings.

Through the Holy Wine Ceremony, and then the Blessing, which were given to us by True Parents we change our lineage and then fulfill God’s original ideal of creation.

    There are no boundaries in the mind. When we think about God, even He does not have any boundaries in His mind. Consequently, God can go anywhere. If He wants to go to heaven, He can go there. If God wants to go to hell, He can go there. He can go anywhere. That means there are no borders in the mind of God.

We Fight to Educate Them and Bring Them to Our Side

If both sides are going to benefit, then we should fight. We should not fight if one side would perish.

    Consider the position of the true man who stands in a perfected state, or the position of the original Adam who is the perfected subject. When such a person has fulfilled his portion of responsibility, he inherits the seed of the original children of humankind. That must be in the position where God’s love, life and lineage will be inherited. He should have received that kind of a seed. Due to the Fall, this was fundamentally invalidated. (213-303, 1991.1.21)

    If True Parents are the true olive trees, all of you are wild olive trees that need to be engrafted. You are like the lateral sprouts and branches. You will be able to grow properly in the original way only when new branches sprout from you. What did humankind become after they lost faith, love and substantial identity? Their lineage was overturned completely. That is why it must be overturned once again. When Nicodemus asked Jesus, “What must I do to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus proclaimed a most important truth as his answer: “No one can see the Kingdom of Heaven unless he is born again.” (Blessed Family – 509)

Summary:
True generosity and leadership mean giving to others with a loving, parental heart without any hesitation, selfishness, or calculation. You should welcome even annoying or messy situations with patience rather than anger, as complaining about minor troubles can chase away your blessings. If you find yourself in an argument, the goal must always be to educate and bring people together for everyone’s benefit, never to create enemies. When sharing your food or resources, you must avoid being stingy, hiding what you have, or offering mere leftovers; instead, you should freely give the very best of what you have with joy, quickly forgetting your sacrifices and always putting the needs of others before your own.

10.1. People should not be treated lightly

    A dog will enter the yard of even the best of houses to relieve itself. If the homeowner complains, “Oh! You dirty little dog! Why are you coming round to our house to defecate in our yard?” then he is chasing away his blessings. Instead, he should say, “Come on in and relieve yourself.” (60-158, 1972.8.19) Continue reading “We Fight to Educate Them and Bring Them to Our Side”

The Work of Resurrection Must Be Exciting

You must stay up at night without even realizing it is night.

    This is why love is great. The power of love bridges the distances between upper and lower and high and low. Love transcends space and time, allowing us to participate in the realm where we can immediately share joint ownership. This is an amazing fact. (168-197, 1987.9.20)

    You have heard the phrase “Home Church,” haven’t you? We say Gajeong Gyohae in Korean. In the past, even if you knew about the Home Church mission, there was no way for you to receive such a mission. Why was that? The time was not right. The person representing God, Satan, and all of history must decide when the required indemnity conditions have been established. Because he had not made that decision, even if you had gone to your Home Church and said, “I completely offer Home Church on the global altar,” God could not accept it, nor could Satan approve it.

Summary:
You should never treat people poorly or ignore their needs, especially those who are hungry or suffering. It is your human duty to be generous and share what you have, because being kind and giving for the sake of others is what brings blessings and makes God happy. When you help someone, you should do it with a sincere and excited heart, treating them even better than they expect or “deserve.” If you treat people with disrespect or cause them to feel bitter toward you, it leads to spiritual ruin, but if you go out of your way to be warm and selfless, you create a heavenly environment and earn God’s deep respect.

Section 10. Social Relationships

10.1. People should not be treated lightly

    You should not treat people lightly. That is why until 1970, whenever someone who was hungry passed by the headquarters, I let them have a meal before they went on their way. It is our duty as human beings to give food to the hungry. Even when you are getting a meal for free, it would be right to share it with others. If someone with a plentiful supply of rice were to strike a hungry person who, passing by, had asked for something to eat, that household would not last for long. (56-37, 1972.5.10)

    There were times when I saw a person who was so pitiable that I wanted to help by offering him everything I had. If you are generous with wanting to give and to help someone, God will praise you. It is good to be generous for the greater good rather than your own well-being, and for improving people’s lives in the future, even though life is miserable at present. (42-168, 1971.3.4)

    You should not just give a lot of free food. You should invest public-mindedness at the same time. That will bring blessings. No one dislikes the person who gives free food and displays a public mind at the same time. (56-37, 1972.5.10)

You should not ignore people. Don’t people say that a worm will wiggle if you step on it? That is how it is for sure. When a person dies and harbors resentment and bitter feelings toward another, the person who incurred that resentment will not last long. (56-38, 1972.5.10)

    When dealing with people, you must not do it unsatisfactorily. The work of resurrection does not occur in a course that is mandatory. It has to be exciting. You must stay up at night without even realizing it is night. You discover the value of heaven only when you get to the point at which you can say, “The place where I am now is heaven.” Isn’t that right? Even with trees, unless they are completely bonded, they don’t engraft. (75-177, 1975.1.2)

    I try to warmly treat those who come, even if we were to starve. If they have reached a certain level of spirituality, say one hundred, we will be struck and judged if we treat them any less. In those situations, you should treat such people two, three, five, even ten times greater than their level. You will not go to ruin by doing so. God will be deeply impressed saying, “This fellow is better than Heaven!” (56-38, 1972.5.10)
