There is no better way to learn this simple fact than through the record of religious accounts. The Bible alone can be thought of as a record of God's work to bring His children back to His bosom after we disobeyed through numerous saints, sages and people of faith.
Account after accounts, shows how God had planned victory through His people only for in one single moment of selfishness or lack of faith lost 40, hundreds and thousands of years of foundation laid for such a victorious moment.
Through the people of Israel following Jesus as God's son and raising him as a true king, God planned to bring about heaven on earth through His people conquering Rome during Jesus' life.
Instead, through countless mistakes, this victory would take place 400 years later with thousnds of Christian lives and sacrifices to pay for Jesus' death on the cross.
The purpose that people desire
God does not have a physical body.
Therefore, He manifests through Adam as His body, showing His face through him.
This is the ideal of creation.
God is the original spiritual(vertical) center and Adam is the original physical (horizontal) center. When these two meet, they generate a 90-degree perpendicular angle.
This was God's purpose for the creation and it is people's desire to have this unity with God.
Had Adam and Eve had chosen to follow God's direction, they would have occupied the positions of true father and true mother eternally in the spirit world.
Yet due to their mistake in following the archangel's desires, this was not possible. Had there been no Fall, everyone could have gone to Heaven just by simply attending the True Parents, perfect Adam and perfect Eve, just as if they were attending God.

The reason for birth
Everything is round in the created world: the sun, the earth, and the stars. Even our mouth upon further analysis is round.
No matter what, everything is created that way. Then the universe makes relationships by going round and round in circular, cyclical movements.
Even if one individual thing has a round shape, it does not exist on its own, but makes a connection with the whole.
This helps explain why we are born?
We are born to beat in rhythm with this vast universe.
The ocean waves that lap against the shore, lap against our hearts as well. Gentle breezes softly and serenely lull our hearts into serenity.
The flowers which bloom release rich fragrances and stir the fragrance in our hearts.
If we are born, raised, live and die in love, then we can be grateful for our birth, life and death.
Since you were born through your parents love and treasure each other exceedingly, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love.
You are participants in this love.
Being born from that place of your parents' love, you consider yourselves born as the flags planted through your parents' love. These flags flutter to express love.
God created humanity to live for the sake of love throughout their entire lives. So, you should wave the flag of love for you mother, your father and for your siblings.
The relationship between a moment and a lifetime
The crossroads of life do not occur over a long drawn out period over time, but it happens in a single moment.
Your living body cannot be perfected unless your entire existence becomes a foundation for absorbing nutrients. This phenom occurs in the natural world.
People who ignore such a moment, fail to obtain something precious.
Thus, they cannot become great people, nor inherit God's throne and crown.
For the sake of one bright, shining moment, exercise care with each of the words you speak, the action you take, and even each thought you entertain.
You should believe that the content of your family daily life will remain in the relationship to the world as you deal with life and solve problems.
In this way, the realm of victory or failure is determined in such a moment.
It is the same with the historical ream of victory on the cosmic realm. Those who are able to understand the infinite value of such a bright moment and live accordingly, can become great people, saint, or more importantly, God's sons and daughters.
This point where life and death meet, is just a single moment.
It is necessary to first desire the coming of heaven continuously with faith and wish for His will to be done.
What is more important, is how we become one with God's ideal.
Attitude is the problem.
Of course, first, we must desire for the coming heaven on earth and wish for the Will to be done. Yet, what is important is how we can personally become one with God's will and take it as our own desire.
We must create environments as individuals, and people that will enable us to inherit God's will. This is where we can then proceed to establish, a relationship with Heaven.
Throughout the history of God's providence, there were three thousand years beginning from Adam's family through Noah's Abraham's and Moses families down to Jesus.

Throughout the history of God's providence, there were three thousand years beginning from Adam's family through Noah's Abraham's and Moses families down to Jesus.
In the Adam's family, the fall was not explained just because the fall was not something planned out. This plan was to be put into action over the span of a year.
If you were given an hour, when centered on God, we make a relationship with His Will. This is an important issue.
When you look at this failure, we see that, no matter what is presented, it did not occur over the course of a year.
It was not something that was planned to put in action over the span a year, five years or a decade.
Their mistake happened in a flash.
When we think about how that failure of only one moment has been perpetuated over eons of times within humanity, we can understand the fearfulness and dread of repeating that instant in our own life of faith.
Even if we live 40 years as a saint, we can fail God's will in just one moment of weakness. When you look at the biblical story accounts of many people of faith, it is a record of many failures of God's people to restore God's heaven on earth.

The point Adam and Eve believed in the archangel's words over God's, these became the origin of a humanity needing to make a tremendous offering of indemnity or redemption for this mistake.
When we understand this importance, a single hour that we ordinarily live so casually within our daily lives can become just as fearful for such a mistake to take away years of foundation.
Even moreso, we have to feel how fearful even a moment is, even one second of one hour that goes by as the clock continuously tick.
Even eternal heaven has to exist having an integral relationship with the single moment.
We mistakenly believe that eternity begins when we die, but it begins at the moment we come to know God's will.
Eternity will be interrupted if there is even a short jump in time even if it was just a moment, then eternity will be interrupted.
We should, therefore, not procrastinate while walking this path of faith in the course of our lives.
Do not procrastinate by deferring your responsibility. A person such as this will die without ever having spent a day of being one with the Will over the course of their lifetimes.
Then they cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven. However good your country of residence may be, you cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven.
If you are unable to live even one day by a victorious standard, you will not enter the eternal world if you fail to live even one day out of the year for God's providence.
Since we cannot stop and must move forward, believers go forth dreaming of eternity. It is important for believers to go forth dreaming of eternity.
What is even more important for believers is how much evil can be eradicated and whether they have become the standard of goodness.
This is very crucial.
When we look from this perspective, Adam's momentary lapse in judgment led to thousands years of anguish. God, thus planned for Cain and Abel to dissolve this anguish of their parents and demolish the wall that exists between brothers and create the origin of one true family.
Yet, Abel's murder was also an instantaneous incident that changed God's plan.
During Noah's 120-year course, he toiled to build the ark. In only a brief moment, God gave the command to board the ship.
Those who followed this order were able to receive the blessings of the eternal God. Those who did not were buried within the eternal judgment.

The same with Abraham: God's promise that His descendants would be numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. Gen. 22:17
This was bestowed in a twinkling of an eye.
Abraham's sacrificial offering did not require decades, but rather a mere day's work. The time it took him to cut the offering and place it on the altar, was not an hour, yet that single hour historically bore the seeds of all life and death, or curses and blessings within it.
Today, believers should not dread the visitation of judgment in the Last Days, but the question of how they will harmonize their daily activities and face life's crossroads with God's will.
