When God created man and woman, He intended for them to mature into perfection, marry and be established as the heavenly husband and wife. Then when they pass to the next world, they automatically go to the heavenly kingdom.
God planned to make Adam and Eve the first husband and wife in history that establish the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven based upon their true relationship. If we had realized this in the beginning, then the first two blessings, be fruitful and multiply, would have been achieved there.
We may believe that we have already achieved this because the human race multiplies and bears children, but this is nowhere connected to God or His true love or else we would carry God's pure blood lineage and not a sinful one.
What Human Beings Can Be Most Proud Of
God gave humanity the power to multiply His pure children.
Their children would have been born without sin and would have grown into perfection as sinless beings. There would be no need for redemption, prayer, saving or religion. If we followed God's word in the beginning, our relationship would have never been severed in need of restoring.
What else would have occurred?
Adam and Eve would give birth to sinless children and they would become the true father and true mother of humankind centering on God. They would have become True Parents and not false parents of humanity.
If Adam had reached perfection, they would have achieved not only individual perfection, but also the perfection of heaven and earth. Moreover, a new family based totally on God's love would have been established.
This family would have expanded to the worldwide level bring about world peace. The world would have become a community of one large family serving God. The center of that community would have been God and Adam.
The life course of Adam's family and their everyday life, centered on God, would have established the traditions for history without interruption. Such traditions would be bound forever with God's love.
The life course of Adam's family and their everyday life, centered on God, would have established the traditions for history without interruption. Such traditions would be bound forever with God's love.
God's love is the source of life and the origin of all ideals.
People would not be able to leave His embrace even if they wanted to.
Even if they had to leave, they would have no choice, but to return. Even in this fallen world, we see that someone who has once lived for their parents has to leave the family, they become lonesome and miss them all the time.
Also, when someone is linked to the love of God, who is the subject of life and ideals, they would not be able to leave God.
If that person does turn away from God, they would feel so lonely and unhappy that they would never be able to feel joy.
Therefore, they would have no choice but to become one in the realm of God's love.
Under these circumstances, human beings can be proud of three facts: first God is our father; second we are the children of God who can receive His love; and third, we are the heirs to the universe created by God.
Have you ever heard people brag that they married into a rich family? Compared to that, words cannot express how proud you would be if God were your father and you could receive His complete joy.
If Adam and Eve had established God's ideal family from the start, God's will would have been realized then and a world of peace would have automatically grow from there.
Adam's family would have served God as their original father. Then they would become the family that is the starting point of one united love as the ancestors of humankind.

This family would have formed the basis upon which Adam and Eve would have united into one in love. From here, they would perfect their ideals.
Adam's Family Should Have Set the Tradition as the True Family
If humanity had become perfected as God had planned, whose sons and daughters would you be?
Without question, you would be the sons and daughters of God.
Well, we just said that we already are the sons and daughters of God and we receive His love. But how can fallen children come from an absolute parent?
Therefore, after our direct link to God was severed, He took responsibility for His children's mistake through the course of restoration. We have become God's adopted children who link to God through His son, Jesus.

Therefore, if Adam and Eve had not fallen, all human beings would have been God's true sons and true daughters. It would be likened to Adam and Eve being just as perfect as Jesus.
We would not have been people who could be toyed with, dominated or slandered by the enemy as we are today.
God's son has absolute power.
He represents the absolute authority and power of God wherever he goes.
When a family is formed centered on God's true son, that family thus becomes God's family before which the entire cosmos should surrender.
Moreover, when a tribe centered on that family comes into being, the whole of creation must safeguard that tribe and be assimilated into it.
We not only lost our position as true sons and daughters of God, but we are tormented endlessly by the enemy.
If the first human parents had not disobeyed God's commandment and went their own way, they would have become one with God forever.
No one, not even the archangel, would be able to sever the relationship of love based on that unity.
What theory or doctrine could deny the father's identity once sons and daughters grow up into maturity?
Even if someone was to question them about their father's identity at gunpoint, they would not have been able to deny who he was.
Even if someone was to question them about their father's identity at gunpoint, they would not have been able to deny who he was.
Humanity now does not even know for sure whether their Father exists or not.
If Adam and Eve had not fallen, the first family of heaven would have been formed in the Garden of Eden.
That family would have prospered under God's sovereignty, immune to any of Satan's attacks, temptations or slanders.

They would have received all of God's love. If they had united into one in God's love as the son and daughter receiving God's complete love, they would have given birth to true children centering on God's love.
God's love would have constantly surrounded them. They then would have established the tradition of the ideal husband, ideal wife, son and daughter. God's will would have been realized, if the first family's tradition had been based totally on God's love.
Adam and Eve should have become perfect by the will of God.
Then receive the Marriage Blessing approved and given by God. Upon the basis of their family. they would have established God's nation.
Adam and Eve should have achieved perfection first based on love. If they had based their horizontal relationship under God, the fulfillment of His will would have been laid and that world would have extended all the way from the national level to the cosmic level.
This world would have been based on the tradition of Adam and Eve achieving oneness as husband and wife. However, we did not see this tradition take place because Adam and Eve did not follow God's will and fell away from God completely.
This is the sorrowful tradition which we have passed on non-stop generation to generation.
God has been working non-stop since the Fall to bring humanity back to the original position. Now, that we have passed into the new Completed Testament Age, by attending True Parents who reverse the Fall, we can become perfected through true families.
