True Families and the Family Pledge (108) Chapter two. Explanation of the Family Pledge Section 1. Explanation of Family Pledge Number One 1.5. Building the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven
1.5.1. The starting point for the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven is the family - 2
Through your life on earth in which you welcome and attend God and live together with True Parents centering eternally on the family, you can go beyond being a family on earth and become a family of God’s Kingdom on earth and in heaven, and everyone can enter the unified world.
Therefore, God must be able to live in your families. You must create the family of Eden where God wants to live. Because God could not dwell in Adam and Eve’s family, you must attend God and live together with Him in your families.
Your clans must attend God as tribal messiahs. Your nations must live in attendance of God. Your world must live in attendance of God, and heaven and earth must attend God.
So the family is the starting base that can attend and live together with God. You have to know that the family is the starting base of the Kingdom of God on earth and in heaven. (270-103, 1995.5.7) Since God is the essence of true love, if we become connected to true love, we all become one body with Him. As representatives of God, our parents are the living God.
Our husband or wife is the other half of God. Our sons and daughters are also small Gods. In this way, a family structure comprising three generations centering on true love is the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Without such a foundation, the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be built. Families are the center of the universe. The perfection of families is the foundation for the perfection of the universe.
That is why if you love the universe as you love within your family, you can freely go anywhere. In this case, God is in the conglomerate central position of love, as the Parent of the entire universe. (298-306, 1999.1.17) |
