Satan Is he Adulterer Who Deprived God of His Ideal of Love

He is the ringleader who destroyed God’s ideal of love and changed God’s lineage to the one centered on himself.

What determines the division between heaven and hell? It is not decided by knowing or preaching the Bible well. It is decided through results and heart. In the end, the boundary line between heaven and hell is determined by the boundary line of the heart, and the boundary line of results. (32-231, 1970.7.19)

    Originally, when God as the Parent created Adam and Eve, He reaped the benefit of having children. At the same time, He enabled the children to benefit by having parents. God’s hope was to raise His children to perfection. Had this happened, it would be possible to say that God would have harvested both Adam and Eve.
    Then, why do we need parents and why do we need children? God is spiritual and human beings are physical. The parent-child relationship is also like this.
    The invisible God bears fruit through the visible child and then enters into the heart of the child to reveal His value as the visible God. The invisible God bears fruit within the child’s heart and the fruit of the child is then produced. It is possible to transfer the fruit of the father to the child. And thus, for God, both His fruit and the parent’s fruit are produced. They have equal value.
    Then, why are parents and children needed? Even though God possesses love, He needs a partner to share His love. We as children also need a partner to share our love. This partner relationship between parents and children is like the relationship of heaven and earth. It is a vertical relationship.

The Internal Meaning of Sin and the Fall

Section 1. The Fall Means the Father’s Place was Taken by Another

1.1. Satan, the devil, is our father

Summary:
The original Fall of humanity was not caused by literally eating a fruit , which is a metaphor, but by an illicit love relationship  between the first human family and the archangel Satan. This act destroyed God’s original ideal of love and altered the human lineage, causing people to be spiritually born into Satan’s lineage rather than as direct children of God. Understanding this root cause is essential for recognizing why humanity must be restored and adopted  back into God’s family.

    On the day you are really born as God’s son…. Amongst the innumerable stars, do you think there is a realm of diamond stars or not? Think about it. You want to have diamonds, don’t you? You can’t say there isn’t a star made just of gold. It is possible. How rich God, our Father, is! Have you ever thought about that? We can travel this infinite universe in a moment. Are you interested? Are you truly interested? If so, what we need to do is observe the normative laws in accordance with God’s commands: “Don’t do this!” or “Do that!” This is possible only when you observe what God says to do or not to do. It is only logical that this becomes impossible if you live according to your selfish desires.
    Can you abide by what God says to do or not to do? Since human beings have duality, they consist of mind and body. Since the mind is the subject partner, and the body the object partner, mind and body must be united. Is that right or wrong? (116-174, 1982.1.1)

    If there were no law of the portion of responsibility, it would be impossible to bring things in order. Due to the portion of responsibility we can dispose of Satan and clearly divide the heavenly kingdom into two nations with clear borders, thus entering the era of a cosmic dominion centered on God’s love. This is the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven and on earth, the spirit world and physical world, under God’s direct dominion. Do you understand clearly? You are the problem. Where are you now? You are always on the borderline. When you are on the borderline of restoration through indemnity centering on an individual, Satan cannot follow you. (148-166, 1986.10.8)

True Parents and the Spirit World

Section 1.  True Parents’ Authority and Mission

1.1 True Parents are the incarnation of God

    Since God is without physical form, He is invisible even in the spirit world. Consequently, God’s will is to become a parent with a physical body. By His becoming a parent with physical form, the incorporeal and the corporeal become one. This symbolizes the physical and spirit worlds becoming one. God created Adam and Eve so He could assume physical form, but this is possible only through love. Only in the presence of love will God attain a body that resembles His image.
    When Adam and Eve reach maturity as God’s physical body, God can dwell in their hearts and rule the physical and spirit worlds through them. This is how God’s Kingdom is established. It is a kingdom of love. The spirit and flesh are meant to unite only through love; they cannot come together through any other means.

What Is God’s Ideal for the Family?

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2194

    A true parent will never say to their child, “You have become a filial child, so, you do not need to become a patriot. Do not go the way of a patriot.” A true parent must teach that filial child, “You have to sacrifice your family and walk the path of a patriot. You must serve your country, fulfill the duty of a saint, and you have to sacrifice your duty as a saint in order to go the way that Heaven desires.
And beyond this, you have to sacrifice Heaven and Earth to find God.”
    People become filial children only by sacrificing themselves for their families. Further, in order to become patriots, people must be willing to sacrifice their entire families in order to save their nation. Only in this way can they become patriots.
    Saints are people who are willing to sacrifice their country in order to save the world. Divine children must be willing to sacrifice the world in order to realize God’s Nation and Land, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. Humankind has been ignorant of this truth. You need to invest and sacrifice yourselves. If not, then the ideal of one world or one country will never be accomplished. (285-218, 1997.5.19)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 687

    Before the Messiah – in other words, the True Parents – comes on the earth, the entire spirit world is completely divided, similar to this divided world.
The True Parents in corporeal form must tear down the many walls that have been built up. Only then will the two worlds be connected. In that connection, the True Parents not only represent the physical world but also the spirit world.
By attending the True Parents and by means of absolute love, for the first time you are able to pave a road that connects to the spirit world. By demonstrating absolute loyalty before the messiah, you establish the precondition of having demonstrated absolute loyalty before even the greatest of all spirit people. You establish the condition of having demonstrated absolute loyalty to God’s commands. You have to demonstrate absolute loyalty to the True Parents in the place of God. Why is that? It is so that 687
you can establish a tradition that enables you to become one with the citizens of heaven.
    Why do you need to attend the True Parents? Because they represent the spirit world and God. It is so that you can form a bond of heart with the True Parents and be qualified to participate in the realm of the victory of heart that True Parents sealed with love. (105-112, 1979.9.30)

TRUE FAMILY

Chapter 11

The Family Is the Eternal Foundation of Happiness

Section 2. The Family Is the Base of Eternal Happiness

    In our daily life, on what basis would you say someone is a happy person? Can people be called happy because they possess some external ability, power or authority? They cannot. Also, are people happy because they have enough money to keep them from envying others? No. Furthermore, can people become happy through acquiring global knowledge or attaining a position from which to control the world at will? It is absolutely not the case that people become truly happy with just those things. (23‐11, 1969.5.11) Continue reading “What Is God’s Ideal for the Family?”
