6. The Ideal World Of Creation Through Adam And Eve - 1
God created one male and one female. After they became perfect, God wanted them to live a heavenly married life as one heavenly couple, husband and wife.
God planned to make Adam and Eve the very first husband and wife and then to build the heavenly kingdom through them. If this had happened, then the blessings "be fruitful and multiply" would have been realized at that time. God had given Adam and Eve the ability to multiply His children. Then the children of Adam and Eve would have been sinless, perfect human beings.
Then what else would Adam and Eve have done? Sin never would have been passed on to humankind. Through their children, Adam and Eve the God- centered True Father and Mother of all humankind. (66)
If Adam and Eve had reached perfection without falling, they would have become perfect not only individually but also on a universal and historical level. And they would have been able to start a new family centering on God's love. From this family, a society, tribe, nation and world -- one big family -- would have been realized in which God could have dwelt.
The center of this one big family society would have been God and Adam. In that world, the lifestyle or course of Adam's family would have remained as an historical tradition. Their lifestyle, customs, practices and background would have become the historical tradition.
It can only become a tradition if it is linked to God's love. God's love is the origin of life and the spring of all ideals; therefore, we would not have been able to leave its bosom, and would want to return even if we ever left.
In this fallen world, we see many people leave their parents or brothers. They always feel lonely and miss their family. Similarly, once we are united with God, who is the subject of life and ideals, we can never leave His bosom. If we leave we feel lonely and bereft of happiness; therefore, there is no option other than becoming united in the realm of God's love.
In that position, these are the things man can be proud of: one, God is my Father; two, we are sons and daughters who can receive God's love; and three, I am the inheritor of the universe created by God.
Today, the people of this world are proud of just marrying the daughter of a rich man. But if God is my Father and if I can receive all His love, could there be anything of which to be prouder? (67) |
