Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 1) - 045 by Rev. Sun Myung Moon [1] The Existence Of Human Beings On Earth And In The Spirit World 5) The Blessing And Eternal Life
2. The Way Of The Eternal Life ⑨ Faith and Eternal Life
If someone asks you how to attain eternal life, how will you answer him. What? By just believing in Jesus, you can attain eternal life? So just by believing, you are saved? It doesn't make any sense.
Only through love can you be saved. Do you understand? (Yes!) Only those who have true love, those who have accepted the law of Heavenly Father's Principle of Creation, can live eternally as God's partner of love. Once you are in the realm of this particular kind of love, you will be living on the earth and in the spirit world.
Before some big accident happens on a ship that is sailing across the ocean, the rats inside the ship start to escape to dry land. Have you heard of this kind of story? (Yes.) Even though they are very small animals, they sense that their future is in danger.
It's a matter of life or death. But how about man? Even though he is the spiritual leader of all things, he is so miserable and ignorant, because of the Fall. To remove the mask of the Fall -- to eliminate Satan's love, life, and lineage -- this is the issue.
We use the word "remove" in this instance. The word "remove" means to take out, doesn't it? So to take out completely means to stand in the subject position not relating with Satan. Do you understand? (215-53)
Dr. Beong Do Lee here, who is over 90 years old, has a son who is 70 years old. Before his son goes outside the house, he can tell him, "Be careful driving the car today!" He can express it like an order or command. He will not get tired of saying it every day.
Even if he does it continuously for eternity, he will never be tired. What is it? It's love. Even in the fallen world, parental love is like that. How about if you belong to God's love in the original world? Will you get tired?
For the first time in our life, we are able to decide to be the object of Heavenly Father's love. Centered on pure human love, we can make logical sense of eternal life, since we know that Heavenly Father's love is eternal and unchanging. No one knew before that centering on love, eternal life comes. It cannot be solved by faith. Saint Paul didn't know this. (143-230) |
