"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Ephesians 5: 28-33
In all of creation what is the most precious entity? Man and woman - human beings. What is the most important part of the body? The nose, the eyes, mouth, hands or the brain?
It is the sexual organ, because it is the main organ of love. Everything in the universe can be recreated through the love organ.
All living things whether plant or animal multiply through sex. The most precious family is one that lives united in love and realizes the value of their sexual organs as the sanctuary of life. The sexual organ occupies the position of incredible value where blood lineage and all of history is connected.
In order for God's principle to create through male and female who share pure love, they must absolutely have only one love partner eternally. There is absolutely one man for each woman and one woman for each man.
This is why God did not create two Adams and two Eves. Unfortunately, in today's world, false love has degraded God's original idea. Some children have many stepfathers and women have many children with different fathers.
This is why it is of the utmost importance to protect the sexual organs for marriage. When men and women practice chastity, they are protecting the universe. Disciplined love between man and woman is the foundation of the universe.
One should not give out their love to just anyone as if they are animals, love can only have one owner. The word "true" in true love, does not allow the possibility of more than one partner. There is only one love partner.
This is absolute law.
Not just anyone can say "true love." Only God can really love with true love, and only God absolutely owns true love. God's true life, God's true lineage, and God's true conscience emerge from true love. In this way, the most fundamental essence of God is true love.
To connect with true love, we must first relate with God. A child might say, "My mother and father don't fight and we live well," but that doesn't necessarily mean that this is a family of true love.
"A young man and woman may say, 'We are so much in love that we could die,' but that doesn't mean this love is true love. If God is not present, then it is not true love. True love always centers on God. To become God's son or daughter, we first need to connect with God's love, life and lineage."
What makes a person relate to true love?
One who has a lot of money or power automatically true love?
Surely one who has great knowledge, degrees or military strength. These attributes do not guarantee one is welcomed in the world of true love. We all want true love, but this high-quality love is only possible when we live for others.
Our lives are in service and sacrifice for our partner.
When we meet someone who has the kind of thinking, "Everyone including you should live for me." Everyone will avoid this person, they are very unpleasant to be around. This is Satan's thinking and his strategy. Selfish individualism has covered the world like a brood blanket. It is a tool to keep God's children in Hell.
By going in the opposite direction of destruction we should live for the sake of the whole in everything that we do. When you live for others, serve others and sacrifice for another, everyone and everything will come and love you.We are created as God’s children. As we grow in love, relating to brothers and sisters, becoming husbands and wives, giving birth and raising children, God is present each step of the way, harvesting true love.
As our Parent, God observes and guides us as we develop into mature human beings that can relate directly with Him. God becomes the owner of love at each stage. Because of this, we can say that in a sense, because God owns all love, human beings become more precious to God than He is to Himself.
Think deeply.
Without God interacting with humans He cannot experience love. It is the same in nature. Even though a lion is the most fierce in the animal world, without a lamb or antelope, though thought as lower than a lion, a lion cannot survive. This is Principle.
Isn't it beautiful when we think of the original creation God had planned for us? He did not leave anything or anyone out as important in the world. The movie "The Lion King" called it - or sung - the circle of life. It is the same as when we attach thousands of times more value to the person we love than we do to our own self.
When we think in this way, we are on the pathway to Heaven.
The way God is: He invests Himself completely into those He loves and then forgets his investment only to investment more than 100 percent again. This is how over thousands of years, even though God did not reciprocate all He gave, he could continue on the painful path toward restoration and invest Himself.
A wife who wants her husband to be a success, should think in this way. She should invest herself 100 percent into her husband and then forget this investment. Through investing and forgetting, she enable her husband to achieve his full potential in life.
If both partners continue to invest in one another and forget, then the level of that love becomes greater and is elevated. Then they will ultimately find themselves connected to God. This is how we have eternal life: By establishing a parent-child relationship with God.
Those who think that we can live in any way we want on earth and just believe in God or Jesus, how can they go to Heaven if they do not connect to God on earth first through a high standard of living?
"Everyone wants to go to Heaven, but those whose attitude is "Everyone should live for me," will not get there. True love begins with embracing and living for the sake of all God’s masterpieces of creation. The way we can reach Heaven is to live for all humankind and ultimately for God."
How can we indemnify the fall, the crucifixion of Jesus and the persecution directed against the family of the Lord of the Second Advent?
During our lifetime, we should go in the opposite direction of the world which lives for themselves and own individual purpose. We do this by having at LEAST three experiences where we dedicate our lives fully to someone or a higher purpose.
We should not look for praise even if we pass through death and resurrection three times to sacrifice our lives for another. This is how we meet God.
Does this seem like a simple task - Kingdom Building?
Children are the fruit of a man and woman's love, life and lineage. Children do not fully understand their origin and say that everything is theirs. They do not regard that their parents are the root and the trunk and the origin of everything that they say is theirs.
Without our parents we are orphans or would not be born at all. If we break the ladder of love that connects us to our parents, then we cannot live.
Even into adulthood, we find ourselves in some manner still wanting to have approval of our parents. We still care and love them no matter how old or faraway we have become.
"We are the sons and daughters of God, the parent who is the origin of true love. Parents are the highest masters of love for children. The parent-child relationship is vertical and the husband-wife relationship is horizontal."
The four-position relationship or foundation a family creates between husband and wife, siblings, parent and child and God form a sphere freely circulating in love around the center.
All love is united and this is why all beings are brought about in love and the universe as a whole. This love achieves a peaceful dynamic harmony around the central point of this sphere of love relationships.
God resides in this center.
The vertical parent-child relationship between God and His children is at the center with he man's love life and lineage on the right hand side and the love, life and lineage of the woman on the left side.
The love of siblings occupy the front and back of the sphere. Centering on this relationship of a family, the entire universe achieves balance. When we picture this interaction three dimensionally we see that God is the ultimate origin of love, life, lineage and conscience.
This God-centered family sphere is untied as one. This family will multiply throughout the ages as tribe, society, nation, world and cosmos of love. Through all of these relations, God is always the fundamental center.
Because our first family failed to connect completely to God, they did not realize the original ideal God had for His family. Adam and Eve were to acquire God's direct blood lineage and become True Parents.
Instead, they became false parents. As a model of God's true husband and wife, all of mankind would have also become True Parents and True Children. Throughout history, God has labored to restore the lost True Parents who can establish a pattern for the world to follow.
Jesus was to become a True Parent and be the model of not just a brother but a true husband. This has been God's process throughout history to bring salvation through restoration. This is the explanation why Jesus he would return in our time.
Adam and Eve were not able to fully become the parents God had envisioned at the time of creation. When Adam and Eve bore children, they would have overseen their children's marriage. There would be no such thing as divorce in all of history. In today's society, we should seriously see the shortfall of parental involvement in their children's marriages.
The Messiah, restored the True Parentship, formed the Unification Church and gives the marriage blessing to all the peoples of the world. These marriages are inter-faith, interracial and intercultural - but these marriages transcends more than these differences.
"The True Parents reject evil love, evil life and evil lineage, but they do not cast out Cain, who murdered Abel. Everyone, including Cain, receives the same blessing."
In the ocean, there is a point during the changing of the tides when the forces of the outgoing and incoming tides are at equilibrium. There is a similar turning point in the Providence of Salvation (restoration through indemnity) in the balance between the forces of good and evil. By blessing good and evil people at the time of this turning point, Satan can be expelled completely.
The fall occurred because man made an error involving the wrong use of love and marriage. Now the Lord of the Second Advent as the True Parent restores this error by marrying God's children in the proper order. Through the clearing of the problem of the fallen parents, True Parents are destroying hell by giving the blessing of holy marriage to billions and tens of billions of ancestors in the spirit world.
When husbands and wives and families went to the spirit world, they were separated and went to the level of spirit world that correlated to the way they live on earth. Now, Father and son in the spirit world can be united centered on the foundation of a God-centered family of true love formed by you and me who are their descendants that live on Earth.
This family foundation also connects the Eastern world and the Western world through the marriage blessing.
What does an ideal family look like. We have spoken about this in the last few posts over the week, but what does a true family appear?
This type of family consists of husband and wife, brothers and sisters, parents and children who all desire to come together in true love. This family is the beginning point of an eternal effort to include and enable all the people of the world to experience the full blessing God has been wanting to give humankind and feel love and joy. This is the how we will begin to see Heaven on Earth and the Kingdom of Heaven in Heaven.
"I hope that in the coming millennium, the 360 million blessed families located around the world will become one with the True Parents, and lead a new family revolution centered on true love and a worldwide revolution of morality so that a world of eternal peace can be established on Earth and in Heaven."
