True Families and the Family Pledge (085) Chapter two. Explanation of the Family Pledge Section 1. Explanation of Family Pledge Number One 1.2. Centering on true love
1.2.3. The foundation for true love is a true family - 4
God created the universe for the sake of His object partner. If God is alone, even He feels lonely. Don’t you feel lonely if you are alone? That is why you need an object partner. You need to be in a partnership. What kind of partnership? A partnership of love.
God, who is the subject of love, started out on the basis of investing and forgetting, investing infinitely and then forgetting. Therefore, His partner must also be an object partner who can infinitely invest, infinitely give and offer stimulation.
To sum up, God’s love contains the concept of investing and forgetting. Because this concept exists, the entire universe began to emerge on the basis of the spirit of sacrifice and service that consumes God Himself. That is how the universe began its perpetual existence.
God needs His partner in love. You also need your partner for love, too, don’t you? Because God is the true God, He wants to settle down on earth where He can love His true partner with true love. That is the beginning of settlement.
The foundation for this settlement is the family. This is the basis, the fundamental unit. The formula connects everything unit by unit. Where is the starting point of settlement where God can be joyful, dancing, smiling, and singing?
It is not a nation, the world, or any one man. It is not just a man. It is a family where a man and woman unite and can settle as God’s object. Everything begins from there. All ideals, freedom, and happiness start from there. The same formula works with everything. (268-13, 1995.2.7) You must share true love. You must say the Family Pledge on the basis of unity between mind and body, unity between husband and wife, and unity among the sons and daughters. Because false love began, the mind and body were separated.
The husband and wife and brothers and sisters were also separated. Therefore, you can connect to God’s Kingdom on earth and in heaven through reestablishing the point where mind and body can be united, husband and wife can be united, and brothers and sisters can be united in order to find the family that can be one with the principles of restoration through indemnity.
