Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 1) - 048 by Rev. Sun Myung Moon [1] The Existence Of Human Beings On Earth And In The Spirit World 5) The Blessing And Eternal Life
3. Love And Eternal Life ③ True Love Is Absolutely Necessary in This World
You don't know clearly where Heavenly Father is in the spirit world. You have to understand that our Heavenly Father likes this viewpoint of being centered on absolute love. The power of love is the quickest. True love power! This love has the shortest distance.
Therefore, I teach this kind of content. Why do I emphasize knowledge of the eternal world? Once you know God and the eternal world, you can live like this.
First of all, you have to know God. Second, you have to know eternal life, and third, you should know true love. This is an investment investing more than 100 percent. Do you understand what this is? (Yes!)
There is eternal life where there is an investment of more than 100 percent. Eternal life cannot exist without true love. Then, if you don't attain eternal life, you cannot meet Heavenly Father.
From now on, this is how the world should be: First, it should be unselfish, living for the sake of others. Second, it should have true love. Third, it should have eternal life. Then the world will be liberated, or saved. The opposite of this is selfishness, which is connected with Satan's side.
(Father points to one brother.) Are you a descendant of Indians? (I came from Mexico.) The root is the same. Can you think of harming white people if you believe in living for the sake of others? (No.)
Next is true love. What is true love? It means investing more than all of your life. True love cannot exist in a place that does not have this kind of investment. When I came to America, did I sincerely offer my life and my assets and the Unification Church? (Yes!) That was everything! From there true love can be accomplished.
Without True Parents, eternal life cannot exist. Why is that? Your origin of highest life came from satanic blood, Satan's blood lineage. Isn't it so? You belong to Satan. Your love is also from Satan.
Therefore, Heavenly Father's love must be superior. In the Bible, the First Commandment is: Love your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul. What does it mean? Sincerely with heart and thought. This is a matter of life and death. This is the First Commandment.
Then what is the Second Commandment? (Love your neighbor as yourself.) Not exactly. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. What does that mean? You should love with your whole life.
You have to invest with your whole life. Why? Because first of all, you have to make Satan surrender. Second, you have to get out of satanic circumstances. Third, you have to separate from the satanic lineage. These are three important points.
Even if you are able to get out of satanic circumstances, what can you do with a satanic lineage? True love is way beyond that kind of life.
Men and women should be born because of the ideology of living for the sake of others. Why was man born? Is it for the sake of woman? This is absolute truth. Which woman can deny this? (No one.) This is eternal truth. Why are they born like this! For the sake of true love.
Men and women say that they wish to be united eternally. Then what can they do once they are united as one? They will occupy Heavenly Father. They can overpower Heavenly Father only through true love.
In your family, who is the owner and center? The person who lives for the sake of the family, for the sake of the whole, will be the center. You should realize this. If someone as a parent lives more unselfishly than Heavenly Father does as a parent, he or she will be the center. Is this true? (Yes.)
If a person has a hundred friends and lives for their sake during his lifetime, he will earn the respect of those hundred people and he will be their center. Even for a hundred years. So somebody who eternally lives for the sake of others in the eternal world will be the eternal owner. Who is he? He is Heavenly Father! Incidentally, Heavenly Father encompasses the whole cosmos. Eternal life is there, not in any other place.
You have heard of the Bible quote "He who seeks to gain his life will lose it, but he who is willing to lose his life for my sake will gain eternal life." What is the meaning of this?
You cannot truly live without overcoming death. If nothing else happens, it means you're dead. When you go to the spirit world you will go to the lowest level of hell. In that place there are three levels. Like the Kingdom of Heaven, hell has three levels.
No other way! Go there if you don't believe what I say. Die now and find out. You may say, "Don't tell us to die." (Everybody laughs.) It's absolutely true! |
