True Families and the Family Pledge (074) Chapter two. Explanation of the Family Pledge Section 1. Explanation of Family Pledge Number One 1.1. The owner of Cheon Il Guk
1.1.2. The attitude and lifestyle of an owner of Cheon Il Guk - 2
You become an owner of heaven after you become a child of filial piety. After becoming children of filial piety, you become patriots, saints, and families of divine sons and daughters. A family of divine sons and daughters is a true family. You become an owner of heaven only when you form a true family. (400-204, 2003.1.1) You should become sons of filial piety, daughters-in-law of filial piety, then saints of filial piety. Next, you have to become sons of filial piety on the family level before God, centering on purity, pure lineage, and pure love. Your whole family must become children of filial piety, not just you as individuals.
Then become families of patriots who are filial, families of saints who are filial, and families of divine sons and daughters who are filial. From that position, you should become representatives of the owner, representatives who are fully capable of becoming princes and princesses who can inherit the kingship of heaven from the individual level up to the level of the cosmos. You should always train yourselves that way. That is what is meant by an owner of Cheon Il Guk. (2003.3.12, Hannam-dong International Training Center) Our hope is to stand together with God in the same place, to have the right to be in the same place. The right to dwell in the same place means to live together. Next is the right to participate together. The right to act together and the right to participate together are the same things. You must participate and act together. Next is the right to share love together, which means that you live together for the purpose of love! That is the meaning.
That is why Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” Although he said he was the truth, the life, and the word, he left out “love.” The Unification Church and Cheon Il Guk will make progress centering on true love.
Your desire is to stay at the same place, together with True Parents. That is what you desire, isn’t it? You want to live together with True Parents; you want to participate in everything and act together with True Parents. What is it that you want from doing this? May you live together eternally in a liberated place of happiness and freedom with love as the center! Amen!
This is what I mean when I say that the tranquil age of peace and unity of Cheon Il Guk has come. Thus when you move, you are not moving alone; your nation follows you. You are living with the qualification of an owner, followed by the entire spirit world and heavenly world and escorted by the earthly world and all its people. That is why, through your tribe, you must become an owner who attends God’s tradition of love, which is a philosophy that is the core of the nation’s traditions. (396-152, 2002.11.5) |
