God Has an Ever-Replenishing Storehouse of Love

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1826

Since everybody wants to live in a nice place, I have initiated research into submarines. Where is the most wonderful place? Apartments are the best places, aren’t they? How will you live deep in the middle of the ocean? You will need a submarine at that time. With a press of a button you can descend to a refreshing place. There will be no need for an air conditioner. There will be all sorts of exotic fish dancing in all their colors, and beautiful scenes with a myriad of colors spread before your eyes. Nothing will be inaccessible. You can go anywhere day and night. Think how convenient such a life would be. Wouldn’t you want to live in such a place before going to the spirit world? Wouldn’t it be wonderful? I am doing this for all of you. I am not doing it just for myself. I am doing it for everyone. That is why we are carrying out this research. I want to make it possible to live in the ocean, without being a burden to anyone. (217-212, 1991.6.1)

Even your clothes must be hung in a principled way. You should put men’s clothes on the right side and women’s clothes on the left side of the closet. When you put your clothes in a drawer, you should put men’s clothes on top and women’s on the bottom. That is the principled way. You all need such training. You are hearing these things for the first time, are you not? You have to do things this way. What happens if you put men’s clothes on the bottom and women’s clothes on top? It is a violation of the Principle. (131-283, 1984.5.3)

The Original Being of God

Section 4. God Is Our Father
4.1. God and human beings are related as parent and child

    What did God mean when He said, “I am love.” He was teaching us to cherish love by night and day, while working, resting, dancing or crying. In like manner, He could say, “I have love, I have love in its entirety.” Having love in its entirety would mean that everything was invested into it. The one who cherishes love most is God. He has all of that love, yet once we have tasted it we are unable to let go of it even in death. (44-188, 1971.5.7) Continue reading “God Has an Ever-Replenishing Storehouse of Love”

If the world had listened to the words of True Father, a world of peace, the Kingdom of Heaven, would have been established on earth in 1952. Then, what I am teaching you about now, namely, the tribal messiahs, would have been dispatched across the world. Since there are 800 million Christians in the world, 800 million people would have stood on True Father’s side, and tribal messiahs would have emerged from towns of every description, with three generations from each family all being tribal messiahs. If this had taken place, the satanic world would have completely come to an end. Then a constitution, which would dictate how the world of the future should be governed would have been enacted and followed. That is why I have not yet taught you in detail the direction you have to take with your family. One thing you must remember is that the era of the great exodus is coming. The families who have followed the words of True Father, and have become tribal messiahs and blessed 160 families, are eligible for registration. Father will then decide the ancestors; who will be the first generation, the second, third, or fourth. Once the ancestors are established, kingship will exist. Therefore, we need to establish the family belonging to the kingship. (273-46, 1995.10.21)

    The spiritual and physical worlds must be equalized, even hell. The path should be pioneered all the way to the foundations of the kingdom of peace, in order to break down the gates of hell and open the gates of heaven. God will then be able to traverse freely anywhere in the earthly world and spirit world…. The threshold of grief that is hell is of no use to God. It should all be broken down. No one knows that.
    Then, what is it that I have done? Down as far as hell, I have broken down the gates of the individual and all the things that have blocked the physical and spirit worlds…. I must create a highway. I have to make equalization. This is not only for the earth. The spirit world must all be leveled. The family, tribe, people, nation, world and cosmos must be leveled. How is this possible? It is possible by a man and a woman forming a family…. (302-226, 1999.6.14)

Chapter Four

The Love of Man and Woman
in the Original Creation

Section 3. Men and Women Absolutely Need
Each Other

Love is something you absolutely need, isn’t it? Is that right?
Human beings, a man and a woman, are an absolutely necessary
element for love. Man needs woman and woman needs man. How
much do they need each other? They need each other more than
Korea, more than the world, and even more than God. Also, if
there were no women, the entire human race would perish within
a hundred years. No matter how much man boasts of unifying the
world, all would be gone within one hundred years if there were
no women. Therefore, women are absolutely necessary. (25-180,
1969.10.4)

When we say “human beings,” we mean man and woman. When
we look at a man, he has to be with a woman, and when we look at
a woman, she has to be with a man. Man is not born through his
own desire, nor is woman born through her own desire. Both
need each other. After their birth, they discover they are either a
man or a woman. (67-267, 1973.7.22)

When you were born as a man, were you born with or without the
knowledge that there are women? If a man were born and found
out that there are only men, would he not feel bad? And if a
woman were born and found out that there are only women, she
would feel bad, wouldn’t she? So when a woman is born, is she
born with or without the knowledge that there are men? Although
I was born without knowing it, the one who gave birth to me
knew it. The reason one is born as a woman is that there is a man
who needs her. Likewise, the reason I am born as a man like this is
that there is a woman who needs me. Isn’t that right? We are all
born like this, with God’s knowledge. (37-19, 1970.12.22)

Man absolutely needs woman. Man absolutely needs God, but
before this he needs a partner called woman. Human history has
been miserable because men have failed to correctly understand
the absolute need for women. Conversely, women have not
understood that they absolutely need men. Tasting true love
requires a realm of ideal, and for this man needs woman and
woman needs man. You should know that an absolute man and
absolute woman pursuing true love are joined through their
efforts of becoming one in heart. When such a man and woman
are joined as one, God comes and dwells with them. (Blessed
Family – 340)

God does not like to see a couple joined by true love separate;
therefore, the love of an absolute man and woman is eternal.
Although God is omniscient and omnipotent, God’s existence
absolutely has no meaning when He is alone. Similarly, no matter
how handsome and healthy a man may be, these things have no
meaning if he is without a woman. A man living in fascination with
his own good looks and health leads an ugly existence and has no
value before God. The problem is that there are many men in the
world who have sunk into such narcissism and this constitutes a
reason why history has moved toward tragedy. You have to know
that God’s providence works to change and improve the world
immersed in such self-centeredness. (Blessed Family -340)

Everyone must realize that free sex is Satan’s domain of love filled with ensnaring evil spirits to bring about the downfall of humankind and expand hell on earth. From the viewpoint of the God of absolute love, the grandmother and grandfather are one; they cannot be separated. They must absolutely become one centering on God, and centering on love. What is love? It is fitting convex and concave together absolutely; mother and father, husband and wife, son and daughter – all must unite in this way absolutely. This is what God wants. (280-135, 1996.11.24)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 719

Then what constitutes good and evil? God wants the good and evil spirit realms and people on earth to be harmonized. Once they are, every individual will pursue the fulfillment of the ideal dual purposes: the purpose of the individual and the purpose of the whole. People have dual purposes, that of the individual and that of the whole.

Chapter Four

The Love of Man and Woman
in the Original Creation

Section 1. The Original Love of a Man and
a Woman

When man and woman are in love, whether their love is in accord
with God’s will and the standard He requires of them is the
question. Is their love in accord with the model of love in God’s
mind? We come to the conclusion that if the first man and woman
had become one in love based on the love of God, then their love
would have become the universal model of love. God must have
desired such love from human beings. Likewise, man and woman
must have wanted this love from each other. Such true love must
be the core of the universe. It becomes the standard of
measurement. (Blessed Family – 334)

God’s love and human love are the same in essence. Love causes
oneness. Why do a man and a woman long for each other? It is
because a man can possess God only through a woman, and a
woman can possess God only through a man. In other words, they
long for each other because God comes and dwells where a man
and a woman have become one in love. (Blessed Family – 334)

Considering that the source of the dual characteristics is God, we
should simultaneously sing praises for the noble value of God and for
the dignity and value of men and women. (Blessed Family – 334)

When God’s beloved woman lives in a man’s heart and God’s
beloved man lives in a woman’s heart as well, these two become
his object partners, and when they love each other, God will be
delighted to see this love and all things will rejoice. Heaven and
earth will rejoice to see a man and woman with these values
embrace. When man and woman embrace each other in mutual
fondness, this mutual fondness becomes the point where the
universe unifies. This is how the original image unfolds in God’s
ideal. (Blessed Family – 334)

Originally, a man should meet a woman with whom he can rejoice,
and a woman also should meet a man with whom she can rejoice.
More than this, it should be an encounter over which both God and
all things of creation can rejoice. Then, all creation will be mobilized
for this couple and want to be ruled by them. Birds will sing and
butterflies will flutter and dance with joy. God will rejoice, people will
rejoice, everything will rejoice. Had the first human ancestors started
history by establishing such a position, the world would be the
original, ideal world. (Blessed Family – 334)

Until now, who has completed the payment of indemnity for the portion of responsibility? Can you pay that indemnity with money? Can you pay it by selling your house and your country? Then what should you do? There is nothing you can do. You can only be absolutely obedient. You must be absolutely obedient until you are in your twenties. Adam and Eve insisted on their own way. They had a sexual encounter, thus falling before they reached the age of twenty. Until you reach your twenties, you must be absolutely obedient. Before you reach twenty, you must obey. Therefore children are absolutely obedient. They are, even if you do not teach them to be like that. They know that if they do not become one with their parents, they will go to ruin. You will go to ruin if you do not become one with God. (133- 136, 1984.7.10)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1303

Christianity failed to stand in the position of both physical and spiritual perfection. In other words, it achieved the realm of the second Israel spiritually but not physically. As a consequence, we must additionally achieve the substantial standard. The day on which we achieve this is the day of the Second Coming. Christians who have waited and yearned for this day must receive the returning Lord on the spiritual foundation of the second Israel, and establish the worldwide realm of the chosen People of the third Israel.

CHAPTER THREE

Our Course of Life
Centered on Love

Section 4. What is God’s Love?

Try to discover God’s love. How can we characterize God’s love? It
can be compared to a warm spring day where white clouds gently
float in the sky, heat rises from the ground, insects fly around, ants
crawl in and out to see the world, pussy willows shoot out by the
stream, frogs sing new spring songs, bees swarm and butterflies
flutter. You feel intoxicated in such an environment and feel
sleepy, but in reality you are awake and feeling so good that you
want to stay like this forever. When God finds His ideal object
partner, He gets the same feeling, as if He is in a beautiful garden
of flowers where butterflies and bees fly around. When thinking of
this, do you feel good or bad? These dull-witted men may not be
aware of this. It feels good.

When you run into someone you are pleased to see, you hold his
hand firmly and shake hands. When someone joyfully says, “Long
time no see!” and holds your hand firmly, do you feel good or
bad? If there is someone who says he feels bad, just kick him,
saying, “You jerk!” When you are glad to see someone, do you
hold hands tightly or not? Do you like it when someone grasps
your hand firmly? You want to like it, but maybe you really do
not. You have to know something to like it, and if you do not
know it, then how can you like it?

Be honest! If your husband loves you, you do not need anything
else. You live clinging tightly to your husband. It is always great to
see a man and a woman firmly holding hands, especially when the
man’s hand is as rough as a cow’s front hoof. When watching
movies, we enjoy seeing scenes like that. If the woman says to the
man, “Oh, you have pretty hands,” the man will be offended. This
is how things are. Love is eternal. Love is united, not divided. You
become one. When a man and a woman become a couple and love
each other, they are bonded together. Of course this does not
happen literally, but in heart they reach a level even higher than
this. That is God’s love. If you live with such love, will you be
united or not? Think about it. Everything is destined to become
one. (Blessed Family – 106)

When a man and a woman fall in love, all kinds of things happen,
right? But if you find a way to know God’s love and really taste it,
then His love cannot be compared to anything in this world. If
there is someone who has tasted this love, no amount of difficulty
or sorrow can defeat him. Such a realm of absolute liberation
should exist, should it not? The question is how to find it. (39-240,
1971.1.15)

God’s love can largely be divided into three great forms of love.
They are parental love, conjugal love, and children’s love. The
center where these three forms converge into one is God’s love.
(173-278, 1975.11.23)

Do you know where the providence
has come to at the present time? The
first goal is to have the basis on which
we can bring about the restoration of the
homeland in heaven’s nation and liber-
ate God’s Kingdom on earth. This must
be done even if you have to sacrifice time
with your family and relatives. Even if
you end up as a refugee, this must be
accomplished. (300-309, 1999.4.11)

Divine Love and Compassion

3. God’s Loving Heart toward Humanity

When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and burning incense to idols. Yet it was I that taught Ephraim to walk, I took him up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of compassion, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.
Hosea 11.1-4

In the perilous round of mortality, In continuous, unending misery, Firmly tied to the passions As a yak is to its tail; Smothered by greed and infatuation, Blinded and seeing nothing; Seeking not the Buddha, the Mighty, And the Truth that ends suffering, But deeply sunk in heresy, By suffering seeking riddance of suffering; For the sake of all these creatures, My heart is stirred with great pity.
Lotus Sutra 2 (Buddhism)

Teachings of Rev. Sun Myung Moon

How hard is it to educate just one child? Children share their parents’ flesh and blood. Their hearts are linked to their mother, so when mother cries they cry too. Their hearts are naturally connected to their father, so they respond to his cares and sorrows. Even so, it is still extremely hard to teach and raise them, is it not?
Then consider the magnitude of God’s task. Today’s human beings are not God’s children. Although God cries out in bitterness, they act as if they do not hear anything. Although God weeps with grief and sorrow, they just ignore it. This is because human beings stem from Satan’s flesh and blood. They may sense God’s grief, yet all they do is praise Him. They may notice that other people are perishing, yet still they laugh and make merry.
Think how difficult it is for God, who has to train workers and raise leaders from among such people. Without a heart of utmost compassion, God would not have even a foothold to develop His providential work. Yet it is God’s heart to consider every single detail—from one to one hundred to one thousand to even ten thousand—in arranging things for you. (42:257, March 21, 1971)

God elected Cain and Abel, Noah, and many other families as He pursued the providence of restoration. At every dispensation God led of this providential history, His heart was fretful beyond description. Nevertheless, controlling His feelings, God endured with great patience.
Who on this earth today feels the fretful heart of our patient God? Who would hug God and weep with Him? Anyone who knows God’s heart like this and shed tears would understand: God rejoiced at the time of the creation of all things in heaven and earth, but due to the Human Fall God now grieves; His sorrow encompasses all in heaven and earth. (4:239, May 18, 1958)

[Until the coming of Jesus], what had been God’s heart toward humanity? He did not have the attitude to live for His own sake. Although we fallen human beings deserved to suffer and die, God poured out all of His heart and strength to save us. Persevering through the four thousand years of Old Testament history, He fought every step of the way to separate humanity from Satan. You should understand the nature of God who loved us, persevered for us and fought for us with an unchanging heart…
During Jesus’ life of 33 years, he did not try to distinguish himself before the people, but in silence he sought to experience the heart of God… At difficult moments Jesus might have felt the urge to seek his own welfare, but because he was ever immersed in God’s heart, he could not even think of doing it. Jesus knew that God had persevered for four thousand years for the purpose of finding one man—Jesus himself. Knowing that, Jesus spent thirty years preparing himself, so that he could emerge as the man of substance who could liberate God from that history.
God never made excuses for His situation or complained about His suffering, not to anyone. Because Jesus was trying to understand everything about the heart of God, when he was lonely he too persevered and never made any excuses. You should follow the example of his life. (1:78, May 27, 1956)
Even though human beings sinned, God does not accuse us, saying, “Hey, you! Why did you sin?” He knows the situation of sinners. He cares about humanity more than for Himself. He comes in sorrow to sorrowful people, in suffering to suffering people, and in sympathy with those who feel victimized and angry.
How much have you empathized with God’s situation? God comes into our sphere of life in this way. Not only that—he comes to us with His heart: “Although you betrayed Me, I am your Father. With a father’s heart I have been searching for you for six thousand years.” (9:231, May 29, 1960)

Father! We have been like pitiful orphans,
knocked about this way and that,
ignorant of our purpose, our direction, and our historical situation,
unable to grasp the center of life, pushed here and there—
still Thou didst hold on to us.
Yet we did not know that Thou wast there,
sorrowful when we were sad,
not averse to toiling day and night to seek us out,
even as we were ensnared and groaning in the realm of death. (5:337, March 8, 1959)
