The Way Of The Spiritual Leader - 397 Chapter 5 - Ministering and Giving Guidance to the Members Section 4 - Restoration Through Indemnity and the Formula Course 3. The Formula Course of Unification Church Members
5) The Merit of the Age of True Parents
We need the seven-year period of the indemnity condition for the sake of our restoration. Three and a half years for fundraising activities and three and a half years for witnessing.
Moreover, for the restoration of humanity, we need seven years, three and a half years before Blessing and three and a half years after Blessing.
Father granted the permission at Belvedere that a husband and wife can complete the seven year period together. Accordingly, all Blessed Couples have the duty to complete the three and half years.
Please do not misunderstand. Your course after the Blessing is no longer the path of restoration through indemnity. Then what is it? Your course after the Blessing is the "Path of the Principle."
The meaning of the "Path of the Principle" after the Blessing is that rather than making leaps toward your perfection, you are to make advances toward it step by step.
If you have not fulfilled the minimum required indemnity condition after your Blessing, then you must continue to set the indemnity condition.
Already many members have been walking their incorrect path and at times they have a superficial and faulted understanding of the direction that Father is heading towards.
If you have failed to set the indemnity condition that is required by the formula course, then you have to understand that you have not gotten rid of the debt yet.
However, at the present moment when we are following Father, who has successfully completed the 21-year course, the merit of the age is enormous.
Father has performed the mind-boggling ten thousand couple Blessing ceremony, and he did not strictly require three spiritual children, three and a half years of fundraising, or the three years of life of faith.
The reason is that he wanted to share with you the merit of his victory. However, most of you owe this debt to him.
