Key Points
Lineage is the fruit of life and love and contains the seed of future life and love.
Life and love are contained within one lifetime and end with physical death, but once a man and woman “become one in body,” their lineage continues forever through their descendants.
That is why lineage is more precious than life and love.
God’s long historical grief is that with the fall of Adam and Eve he permanently lost his lineage which is the foundation of human brotherhood and of God’s ownership of the creation. And he could not recover it on his own.
God's lineage contains the seed of true love and provides the context and environment for a true life. Without it “the fruits of true life and true love never matured” because the blood flowing in our bodies is stained with the sexual immorality of our ancestors.
God’s strategy to recuperate his lineage was to send the True Parents, the “true ancestors” and “the subject partners of the true blood lineage” to whom we must be engrafted and through whom we must be born again.
To do that we must completely deny ourself in mind and body, receive the Blessing from True Parents through which we can cleanse our fallen lineage and receive God’s true lineage.
A world of true prosperity and happiness can only be realized when all sciences are united centering on unified science, and all ideologies and religions are united centering on unified thought.
Human social life is the unity of spiritual life and physical life.
An ideal world is a unified world of love and creativity.
The happiness of humankind must become the purpose of science as well as of religion.
The most important thing in a life of faith is to arm ourself with the word and to practice it by serving.
By serving Abel as subject, we can eliminate our fallen nature and “set my conscience right.”
If we attend an Abel with shortcomings as a person nonetheless sent by heaven, then heaven will work through such a sincere attitude and take responsibility for the outcome.
We should serve Abel in order to “set our conscience on the vertical line” and to have dominion over our physical body.
Our conscience needs to be the subject of our physical body centered on the word.
If we long for God, for the word, and for members at church and for our family at home, we can lead a conscientious, focused and other-centered life.
Longing is the essence of shimjeong.
If we do what we do with longing, there is nothing we cannot do.
If we long for Abel and other people and become one with them, our sins will be cleared.
Sin is the absence of longing. Original nature is full of longing.
There is no crack for Satan to enter when we are full of longing for God.
Longing means fully occupied by true love.
With enough training in denying ourself, we ourself will disappear and only the other person will remain.
We should ask ourself each day, “Do I have a heart of longing? A heart of attendance?” If so, we are a resurrected person.
Because God works through the number 3, we need to create an inseparable trinity foundation of at least three people who respect and long for each other.
A public life is when three people become one.

Today I’d like to talk about “God's Ideal Family and the Kingdom of the Peaceful, Ideal World II” from True Mother’s Anthology, Volume 2.
<This speech was given by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon between September 1 and October 14 during a 40-nation Victory and Complete Freedom Rally to Bring Universal Peace to the Fatherland and Hometown speaking tour. 115,116>
God created Adam and Eve and established them as the first ancestors of humankind to form the model family and establish the ideal of peace. He committed Himself completely to raising them as His son and daughter, joined with Him through true love, true life and true lineage. Therefore, if Adam and Eve had achieved individual perfection in accordance with God's Will—that is, if they had achieved the perfection of their character and entered into conjugal relations with His blessing, then they would have attained complete oneness with Him.
God would have dwelt within their union. Also, their children would have been linked to this holy order of love, enjoying a direct relationship with God as their Parent. In other words, the marriage of the perfected Adam and Eve would have been God's own marriage. While God is forever God, also Adam and Eve would have become the embodiment of God. Adam and Eve would have become God’s body, and God would have settled inside their minds and hearts to become humanity’s True Parent in both the spiritual and physical worlds.
Do you know what has pained God's heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? God lost His lineage. And with it, God lost the basis of human brotherhood and even His ownership over the creation. God's lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured. They became instead the fruits of Satan, lacking any relationship with Heaven.
From them descended the 6.5 billion people now covering the earth. Ladies and gentlemen, lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three—love, life and lineage—lineage is the fruit. God's lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life.
Do you know what has pained God's heart most, causing Him the greatest grief over the long history since the Fall of Adam and Eve? That is that God lost His royal lineage. And with it, God lost the basis of human brotherhood and even His ownership over the creation. God's lineage is more precious than life itself. Without it, the fruits of true life and true love never matured.
Lineage is more important than life and more precious than love. Life and love will end when we complete our physical life on earth, but lineage will remain eternally through our descendants.
Life and love come together to create lineage. Lineage cannot be established if either life or love is missing. Therefore, among the three—love, life and lineage—lineage is the fruit. God's lineage contains the seed of true love. God’s lineage provides the context and environment for a true life.
But the problem is that lineage has an attribute that once a man and woman become one in body, it goes on for eternity. This is the problem. Due to Adam and Eve forming blood ties with Satan, that lineage has been passed down forever, right?
Strictly speaking, no one can change the bond of blood lineage once it is wrongly established. It is not God’s blood that is flowing in our bodies but the blood of our ancestors who commit sexual immorality.
There is only one way to change from the evil blood lineage to the good blood lineage. There is no other way besides engrafting onto the true blood lineage. Therefore, if we do not engraft our lineage onto True Parents, the subject partners of the true blood lineage who came as the true ancestors, we can never be born again into the true blood lineage, which is God’s lineage.
Therefore, in order to be engrafted onto the true blood lineage, we must completely deny ourselves both internally and externally and in mind and body, and live a life of being born again, and ultimately receive the Blessing from True Parents and be engrafted.
That is why the principle of engrafting is incredible! We need to cut off ourself, completely deny ourself ... That is the condition for us to receive the heavenly blood lineage from our True Parents. Engrafting, right?
Without knowing the Divine Principle, we cannot understand. The Blessing is changing the lineage from Satan’s blood lineage to God’s blood lineage.
LIVING DIVINE PRINCIPLE: Eschatology 5 - Human History is the History of the Providence of Restoration 2 - The Progress of Religion and Science
• Second, considering the progress of religion and science, although they have been working independently with little connection to each other, religion and science inevitably must converge. Today they are on the threshold of reaching this destination, where they will resolve all their problems together in one united undertaking.
• This trend shows that human history has been walking the providential course to restore the original world.
Let’s study Father’s word.
The Banner of Unified Science
<65-262> Since the narrow, specialized fields within science correspond to the disassembly and separation of machine parts, this can cause the paralysis of the unified function of a whole science and can cause a setback in fulfilling its mission. But fortunately, under the banner of unified science, scientific truth has been unified and organized into one uniform, philosophical, and scientific system by some pioneering scientists. This achievement must be highly regarded. It is an historical event comparable to Unification Thought emerging to establish new, modern values by unifying all thought and religions into one.
Realizing a Unified World
<65-262> Since the function of science is to improve the physical life of human beings, unified science will make greater contributions than ever before. Originally, human beings were to have unity of mind and body. Also, human social life is the unity of spiritual life and physical life. Accordingly, an ideal world is a unified world of love and creativity. Therefore, the improvement of physical life alone can’t realize a truly happy world. Unified science must inevitably unite with unified thought in order to realize such a world. On the foundation of unified religion and science, a prosperous world, a happy world, a unified world of goodness will be realized. The old system and old thought will finally disappear and the ideal, unified world will be realized by a new system and new thought.
Science until now has gradually developed while being fractionized. But under the banner of unified science, scientific truth has been unified and organized into one uniform, philosophical and scientific system by some pioneering scientists. This achievement must be highly regarded.
It is an historical event comparable to Unification Thought emerging to establish new, modern values by unifying all thought and religions into one.
Therefore, the world of true prosperity for humankind can only be realized when all sciences up to this day are united centering on unified science, and all ideologies and religions are united centering on unified thought.
Originally, human beings were to have unity of mind and body. Also, human social life is the unity of spiritual life and physical life. Accordingly, an ideal world is a unified world of love and creativity.
Therefore, the improvement of physical life alone can’t realize a truly happy world. Unified science must inevitably unite with unified thought in order to realize such a world.
On the foundation of unified religion and science, a prosperous world, a happy world, a unified world of goodness will be realized.
Wow! Our Divine Principle guidance is very clear.
Aiming for the happiness of humankind must become the purpose of science as well as religion.
TODAY’S YOUTH MINISTRY: What Is the Most Important Thing in a Life of Faith?
What is the most important thing in life of faith? First, it is for me to arm myself with the Word. Second, it is for me to serve Abel. I can set my conscience right only when I have an Abel, who is the subject partner. In your life of faith, there must be someone around you who can act as a model. If I do not serve Abel, the subject partner, I cannot set my conscience right. People who do not serve their Abel just do as their physical body wants. If the physical body controls the conscience, the conscience will be tormented and be in pain. If you make the physical body the subject partner, the conscience will have no way to be liberated.
Therefore, one who always lives by setting their conscience on the vertical line centering on the Word is a wise person. Abel must be someone who always sets his conscience on the vertical line. If we always set our conscience on the vertical line and live serving Abel, God will take responsibility over us. In other words, if we set the antenna of our conscience and always get checked by Abel, the spirit world will take responsibility over us.
What is the most important thing in life of faith? First, it is for me to arm myself with the Word. After arming myself with the Word, I need to put those Words into practice in my life. The second important thing is that practicing the Word must start with the life of serving.
A life of serving starts from the life of serving my Abel. If I do not practice a life of serving, there will never be a way for me to eradicate my fallen nature. We cannot just be stimulated by the Word. We need to serve Abel.
Without serving Abel, without serving people, how can we eliminate our fallen nature?
We can set our conscience right only when we have an Abel, who is the subject partner.
When we serve Abel, all kinds of fallen nature comes out, right? Through attending and serving Abel, we (come to) know how to set our conscience right.
Even if this Abel has shortcomings and is not greater than we are (on occasion), if we attend him, believing that he is someone set up by Heaven, then Heaven will work through such a sincere attitude. Heaven will test us by setting up an Abel figure who is less than we are.
We cannot ignore Abel, thinking that he is younger than we are or less experienced or received the Blessing later than we did. If we just believe that Heaven set (up) this Abel, then Heaven will take responsibility for the rest.
Father said we should even serve our children as God. We need to respect our children. Then if Heavenly Father sets up anyone as our Abel, (that person’s) age or content(?) do not matter. ... Once God sets up someone as Abel, we need to really trust and respect him. Even if he makes a mistake and guides us wrongly, as long as we have the right mindset in serving him, God surely will be responsible because we have the right attitude. Surely God will guide us. This is the Principle. If we trust someone even though he does wrong things, God needs to be responsible because we absolutely trust him.
In our life of faith, there must be someone around us who can act as a model. If I do not serve Abel, the subject partner, I cannot set my conscience right. People who do not serve their Abel just do as their physical body wants.
Abel must be someone who always sets his conscience on the vertical line. If we always set our conscience on the vertical line and live serving Abel, God will take responsibility for us. In other words, if we set the antenna of our conscience and always get checked by Abel, the spirit world will take responsibility for us.
The Reason I Go to Church
2. People who go to church because of the organization are all fake. The reason I go to church is to set my conscience right. People who go to church because their conscience has people it longs for and people it respects are certainly sincere people. When you go to church, you must have the heart that goes because of missing Abel. When you return home, you need to have the heart of going back because the couple longs for each other and their children. Parents who have this kind of mindset are conscientious parents.
People who long for others do not assert themselves or build themselves up. This is the essence of longing. If we long for the Word and yearn for God, we would not think of anything else. When we are full of longing, we do not think of anything else. If you live, longing for the Word and people with this kind of longing heart, your own sins will be cleared. How can there be sins if the subject and object partners have longing for each other and become one? Sin is a self-centered life and habit.
If the physical body controls the conscience, the conscience will be tormented and be in pain. If we make the physical body the subject partner, the conscience will have no way to be liberated. Therefore, one who always lives by setting their conscience on the vertical line centering on the Word is a wise person.
The reason I go to church is to set my conscience right. When I set my conscience right, there will surely be people I long for.
When we connect to God, centering our conscience the right way, automatically we miss God and miss True Father.
So, when going to church, those who go and have people they long for and respect through their conscience are certainly sincere people.
When we return home, we need to have the heart of going back because the couple longs for each other and their children. Parents who have this kind of mindset are conscientious parents.
People who long for others do not build themselves up but always live centered on others. This is the essence of longing. If we long for the Word and yearn for God, our minds will not lose to some other horizontal thoughts.
Longing is the essence of heart (shimjeong). When we are full of longing, we do not think of anything else. Whatever we do, try doing so full of longing and because we really want to. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished with this.
If we long for the Word, our own sins will be cleared. If we long so much for God, there is no sin. Our sin is cleared.
If we long for Abel and become one with him, our sins will be cleared. When people long for people, their sins are cleared. This is because longing does not come out when we do not live centered on others.
How can there be sins if God and human beings, husband and wife, parent and child, and the subject and (object) partners live, longing for each other and become one? Sin is self-centered life becoming a habit.
A self-centered life does not have a longing heart because we live for our own sake.
However, one who truly serves others, lives for the sake of others, can automatically create a longing heart. When there is a longing heart between Heavenly Parent and each human child, Satan cannot invade any more because longing means fully occupied by true love. Where there is true love there is a longing heart.
Self-Centered People Do Not Have a Heart of Longing
3. Since sinners live self-centeredly, they do not have longing. But sins are removed from those who live longing for their subject partner (Abel), family, and children. What kind of sin is there in that? There is no sin in the heart of a mother who longs for and loves her children. Similarly, those who long for others will gradually lose the concept of “me.” Self-centered people do not have a heart of longing for others. So, if you undergo a lot of training to deny yourself, you yourself will disappear and only the other person remains. In the end, you become a person without sins.
However, people who live for themselves are sinners and dead. Such people are like people without a conscience. That is why there something you need to check each day. That is: “Do I have a heart of longing? Do I have a heart of attendance?” If you just have a heart of longing and a heart of attendance, you are thought of as a resurrected person. A resurrected person means a conscientious person and someone God can work with. The attitude of faith that God can be with is when the subject and the object become one and respect each other.
Since sinners live self-centeredly, they do not have longing. Do you know what sin is? Sin is having no longing. Originally, human beings of original nature are full of longing. (They) cannot (be) separated.
Sinners are those who do not have longing for God and others, they just live by the flesh and centered on horizontal bonds.
People of original nature are people of heart. Since people of original nature live longing for their subject partner (Abel), family, and children, their sins disappear. There is no crack for Satan to enter when we are full of longing for God.
That is why the mind of sexual immorality disappears for people who truly long for God and truly long and yearn for the Word. The self-centered mind disappears. If we have the strength of longing for Heaven and the Word, we can defeat any of Satan’s temptations and tests.
I say this once again: self-centered people do not have a heart of longing for others. Who likes people who live self-centeredly and only assert themselves? Such people will become very lonely people in the end.
So, if we undergo a lot of training to deny ourself, we ourself will disappear and only the other person remains. In the end, we become a person without sins. However, people who live for themselves are sinners and dead. Such people are like people without a conscience.
That is why there something we need to check each day. That is: “Do I have a heart of longing? Do I have a heart of attendance?” If we just have a heart of longing and a heart of attendance, we are thought of as a resurrected person.
God Comes Into the Trinity
4. The state in which the subject partner and object partner become one centered on God is a state where the trinity is created. God comes into the trinity. If you know this principle clearly, you need to adjust your life towards the direction God wants. And your relationship with your subject partner must become a relationship in which you respect and long for each other. You can never forget this relationship. Can a couple of longing forget each other? If a parent and child became one through longing, can they forget each other? They cannot forget each other for even a moment. How can you forget if you were bonded by heart? When the relationship between the Word and me and the relationship between Cain and Abel forms a trinity centered on God and we become closer in heart, nobody can separate it. That is why we say to live exchanging hearts with one another. It is to live, resurrecting each other.
The state in which the subject partner and object partner become one centered on God is a state where the trinity is created. God always works centered on the number 3. That is why God comes into the trinity. That is why we always need to create a foundation centered on a minimum of three people.
Even God is a champion of team work(?). Before creating human beings and all things, he created three angels as his assistants, right? God works together with angels. He is a champion of teamwork centered on the number three.
A public life is when three people first become one. If we know this principle clearly, we need to adjust our life towards the direction God wants.
Three people becoming one (is) a relationship in which we respect and long for each other. Can a couple of longing forget each other? If a parent and child became one through longing, can they forget each other? They cannot forget each other for even a moment. If we were bonded by heart, we can never forget each other. When the relationship between the Word and me and the relationship between Cain and Abel forms a trinity centered on God and we become closer in heart, nobody can separate it.
That is why we say to live exchanging hearts with and longing for one another. Only then will we live lives of resurrecting each other.
Today I talked about “What Is the Most Important Thing in Life of Faith?” “Self-Centered People Do Not Have a Heart of Longing,” and “God Comes Into the Trinity.”
