You Should Invest, Invest Again, and Forget

To make you into a person who can receive God’s love and the love of humankind, you will be asked to sacrifice yourself, go through difficulties.

    You may want to say on Sunday, “Where in the Bible shall we read from? Break out the hymns! Break out the Holy Songs!” Do not do this. This is not what you should do. Center your words on your knowledge of people; use real life resources and relate them to comparable passages in the Bible. Give an interesting sermon that compares personal experiences with the content of the Bible. Then the mind of that listener will be completely blown away. When he hears about his own experiences, he will like it. Do not attempt to do it by looking at books. Books come from people as well. You must know that people themselves are the original books. (46-284, 1971.8.17)

    The words of Divine Principle are a record of the victorious battles I fought to discover everything about the spirit world. I confronted these issues since the time of my youth. I am not saying anything vague or obscure. Even Lee Sang-hun did not have complete faith in me during his time on earth. When I said, “The True Parent has the responsibility to grasp the spirit world with his right hand, and grasp the earth with his left, and change them around,” he questioned what I meant.

Summary:
The heart of the Unification Church is the commitment to live for the sake of others, just as God lives for the sake of His creation. To become someone truly worthy of God’s love, you are encouraged to embrace sacrifice and endure hardships with a grateful heart, even when things are difficult or your physical needs are barely met. By staying patient, serving others selflessly, and prioritizing the world’s needs over your own, you protect yourself from negative influences and align your spirit with the universe. Ultimately, the goal is to keep giving and investing your love without keeping track of your sacrifices, trusting that this path of service and endurance is the true way to bring joy to God and create a better world.

The Path of True Love is Paved through Dedication, Service and Sacrifice

This means it is the course of re-creation. You must make sacrifices on this course of re-creation.

The current goal is the unification of North and South Korea. God is hoping for a base in your families, the nation, and the world from which He can enter into His Sabbath by unifying North and South Korea. This is the only way to attend God. The unification of North and South Korea, the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, and liberation of heaven and hell will come about when we create an environment centering on love greater than that for our father and mother, husband or wife, and children, and are willing to build a sacrificial altar centering on that love. It can never be solved without love. Love is the key. (170-103, 1987.11.8)

    Jesus said that no matter what kind of difficult circumstances we encounter we have to have endurance in order to overcome. He said that we have to have more loyalty and filial piety for God’s will than sinners show towards evil. This is the basis of the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit which is taught in Christianity. If you live a life of love, then happiness and peace will arise; and through endurance, mercy and goodness will arise; and through a life of loyalty, gentleness and humility will arise.

Think About How Much Time I Have Spent in Prison

Cheon Seong Gyeong 2210

    If, seeing your faithful determination, God takes heart and steps forward to declare, “I am going to tear down this evil world!” then, in that instant, His sphere of activity will expand due to your efforts. This will be a gift of joy from Heaven more wonderful than any coveted position, throne, place of honor, and even awards that would be heaped upon you over not only one but over many lifetimes.
    You should determine to confront any kind of persecution in the course of human history and even beyond that. This is the path filial sons and daughters who take on the responsibility to represent the history of eternity should take. This is the way of loyalty to the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.
