1. God's Will And The Completion Of The Four Position Foundation - 6
A person should not be concerned with himself. Starting from "myself," a person must pass through three stages. These three stages are: myself, reciprocal partner, and child.
The relationship of myself, reciprocal partner, and child, centering on God, is the Four Position Foundation. Completion of this Four Position Foundation is God's purpose of creation. (7)
The completion of God's purpose of creation mentioned in the Principle of the Unification Church means for man and woman to complete the Four Position Foundation.
However, this Four Position Foundation cannot be realized unless the parents become completely united by love and have God dwelling in them and, at the same time, have God's absolute love transmitted to the children through them.
God's Four Position Foundation is completed only when, according to the order of beginning which started from heaven, love is passed on to the children without mistake through the family as a midway station.
Therefore, we must teach people that God is a God of goodness and teach them to love. We must reach women how to love God, their husbands and children. We must reach men how to love God, their wives, and their children. We call this the completion of the Three Objective Purposes of love. (8)
What was God's ideal for our first human ancestors? God's ideal was to connect the ideal man and the ideal woman to realize an ideal family. Then what was to be the center of this ideal family?
The center is neither man nor woman. A family is after all a group centering on God, with parents, children and the connection of a husband and wife. When we ask, "What is the center of this group?" we are answered : the center is the love of God.
Therefore, we can conclude that God's will is for husband and wife to unite together centering on God and to complete a family. (9) |
