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. (100-146, 1978.10.9)

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)

The One Who Speaks Words that Are Beneficial Is Abel

And the one who speaks words that harm others is Cain.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1267

    What is desired by all humankind today? Before they establish a nation or world, they want to meet with true parents. From whom do your future descendants want to be descended? Your sons and daughters do not want to be born from your false lineage. They want to be born through the lineage of true parents. That is why true parents will automatically become the starting point of a new future. (35-237, 1970.10.19)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 719

    The spirit world is divided into two realms, the satanic realm and God’s realm. If we lay out a way that enables people to move quickly from the satanic spirit world to God’s world of goodness, then the situation on earth will naturally be resolved. What kind of way is that? As long as we have a special method to enable the transfer of all satanic individuals, families, tribes, and nations to the heavenly side, it is possible.
    When such a time comes to the spirit world, it will be reflected on earth. As a result, all kinds of transformation will quickly occur and sweep through that world. (134-14, 1985.1.1)

Summary:
In the Unification Church movement, the roles of Cain and Abel are determined by whether a person focuses on themselves or on the public good. You become “Abel” when you are public-minded, speak words that benefit others, and remain faithful even when you are criticized or treated unfairly. On the other hand, you become “Cain” if you criticize those working hard for the church, act selfishly, or use your words to harm others. Even if you joined the church a long time ago, you are still considered Cain if you are not living for the sake of the public; true leadership and “Abel” status come from being a selfless sacrifice for others. Ultimately, being a person of God means constantly working to put the needs of the world above your own private interests.

You Must Obey God to Become Abel

In order to become one with God, you must do everything that God tells you to do

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1096

You have not been able to establish a complete bond with True Parents. Consequently, the Blessing allows you to establish this bond. (23-332, 1969.6.15)

The Blessing is about becoming one with God. When you become one with God, you obtain everything. You receive everything belonging to God, the subject partner. (Tongil Segye – November, 1982)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 940

I will not be here forever. I am the one who was born in this two-hundred year period of history that will only occur once in eternity. I was not here a hundred years ago, and will not be here again in the future. I am not someone who can be born just anytime. There is infinite value in your being able to directly learn secrets from me during this period. If you go to the spirit world after practicing this, you will surely go to heaven. That future kingdom awaits you. The Kingdom of Heaven has been empty until now. Originally, the True Parents were supposed to enter heaven, but they did not appear. (249-327, 1993.10.11)

Section 9. Rules and Etiquette among Members

9.3. Definition of Cain and Abel

Among the members of the Unification Church today, there are those crazy ones who say, “Hey, I am Abel because I joined earlier and those who joined later are Cain, so you should serve me!” What kind of person is Abel? Abel is the one who lives according to God’s will. The one who is more public-minded is Abel.
Who is Cain? He stands on the side of Satan. Satan starts off from selfish thoughts. Abel begins with thinking not about himself, but about God. You should understand this. (58-68, 1972.6.6) Continue reading “You Must Obey God to Become Abel”

Abel Must Love Cain

He must subjugate him naturally with love. He must stand in the position of loving him with tears and blood.

    At this time, the Unification Church is doing Home Church activities worldwide. In order for Fallen people to go to heaven they must follow the path of sacrificial living, starting from individual restoration and advancing to world restoration, just as I have done. You can simply follow the path I have laid before you. I have created a pathway for you to run on. You can set the condition of indemnity by taking the path that I have pioneered. The condition you must make is Home Church activity, focusing on 360 homes.
    It is an amazing fact that all of you can receive the Home Church mission this year. Home Church is the destiny of all people. It will enable them to cast off the inheritance of the Fall. If we cannot fulfill Home Church during our lifetime, we will have to continue to invest in it even after we die. The Unification Church must create a world of victory from the fruits of dysfunctional history. The time has come to establish a heavenly world. This world begins with the transformation of individuals and then develops to the levels of tribe and race. Home Church activities were set up to take a leading role in completing this work. If you love the 360 homes of the Cain world more than you love your own sons and daughters, then you will be able to go into the heavenly world.
    God has walked a path of indescribable hardships for thousands of years, working to establish the condition of victory. Yet in seven years, we can accomplish it through 360 homes. The Home Church foundation is sitting right under your noses, so you cannot avoid it. Through Home Church activities, you will experience all kinds of historical matters. The completion of Home Church represents God’s ideal world. When all of today’s people accept the requirement to fulfill Home Church, they will realize the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth without fail.
    Make Home Church activities based on your 360 homes a holy offering to God and bring the members of these households to know the will of God. A person who practices and completes Home Church centering on 360 homes will become a true son or daughter of God on the individual level, and a tribal messiah. He or she will realize the ideal of God’s creation.
    I have set all the conditions to restore hundreds of nations. Through the standard of heart, I have connected Heaven and Earth, removing the wall between them. You can set the conditions of restitution centering on a smaller model of the world − Home Church. From the present moment, you must create a foundation you can build on, and where you will not be blocked by the obstacles that exist between heaven and earth. What is this foundation? It is Home Church. (105-270, 1979.10.26)

You Are to Be Recognized and Confirmed by the Absolute Being

What is the purpose for which you came here? You did not come to solve some external problem.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 715

    Once born, we must eventually die. That is the formula. Then after death, where do we go? All Unification Church members know they have a spirit self. This spirit self must grow.
    What will become an issue for you in the future is that one day you will have to write your autobiography. Such a time will come. The question is what you have done since joining the Unification Church and what will be contained in that record. If you worked at a company as an employee, it is not a valuable condition and such a record will not be helpful at all. It will be shameful to have worked at a company after joining the church. Such a time will come.
    In the future, a process known as registration will be established. When North and South Korea are reunified, you must be registered. The term tribal messiah is not the issue. The contents and facts associated with that term are what matters. From now on, the content of the term will become indemnity conditions for you to walk on your own eternal path of life. When you go to the other world, what matters is how much effort you made to have experiences in your heart, walking such paths, and even more so, to what extent you brought substantial results.

    Beloved Heavenly Father! Today is October 5, 1998, which is also Chuseok in Korea, a day of celebration on which the people honor their ancestors. You have worked endlessly to establish the realm of liberation for the Old, New and Completed Testament ages in history to ease Your grief over not having seen this world become a settlement of love, in which all forms of creation, all people in the spirit world, countless believers, and all things created with love and living on earth would have lived together with You. Today, before heaven and earth, Cheongpyeong in Korea, and the people gathered here in São Paulo in the western world, please bring to an end the sorrowful history that You have had to endure.
