3. Father and the Progress of the Unification Church
2) The Reason Why the Unification Church Is Making Progress - 2
The dispensation did not progress thus far because of your own merit. The reason that the Unification Church could have prevailed, and developed thus far is because I have been absolutely unyielding. If I was not around, do you think that Unification Church will remain? [77-77] This is the time when the Unification Church must travail once again. In the past, we toiled away on the vertical standard, based on the foundation of heart for the sake of fulfilling the will, but now we must do it horizontally. In order to do this, each of you must take on the responsibility and move forward. The Unification Church will continue to progress as long as it maintains the unchanging standard that calls for possessing the heart of parent and the body of servant and leading a life of loyalty for the sake of humanity, the earth, and heaven. If it does not develop, then it means that God is no longer with the Unification Church. Do you understand what this means? There will come forth an environment in which there is no choice but to make devotion centering on yourselves. It this does not come about, then the Unification Church is false. If this does not take place, then God's Will, will not be realized. [23-214] Since you do not carry out, even though I have given the commands and have made statements, I have no choice but to . . . Neither your ancestors nor you will be able to make a false charge.
So, I will freely distribute it among those who perform well. You must know that you will be completely deprived of it at that moment. Thus, if those who joined recently do well, then they will take it all away.
Even if you fall down, not because of you, but because of those who joined recently, the restoration will continue on. This world also is in the same way. God's will is also the same. Therefore, on account of those who are more faithful and putting more effort in, the will moves on and advances toward the world. It's the same type of phenomena. When a cabbage seed grows, its leaves appear. The Unification Church will also give rise to leaves. There is no choice. This is the natural law. So, even if you do not work, I believe that the Unification Church will develop. As long as I am around, it will progress on. Do you know what this means? [91-314] |
