1) Resurrection and the Indemnity Condition In the satanic world, every person, regardless of situation, is in a position to make conditions of indemnity. Making the indemnity condition is the same as making an offering for the resurrection of one's own self. Therefore, paying indemnity is something for which to be thankful. The way of restoration is to return to the origin. Unless one has established conditions for indemnity, one cannot return to the origin. An indemnity condition must be established by human beings, not by God. In order for a sick person to be healed, he must take medicine even if it is bitter. Bitter medicine is the real medicine. Paying the indemnity is like taking bitter medicine: it is difficult to do. However, without having established an indemnity condition, you cannot be restored. Fallen people were not born from God-centered parents in God's direct blood lineage. Therefore, our birth must be denied and we must make a new relationship with God. Without going back to the origin, you cannot be in a position to receive the Blessing. In other words, because we were born from the fallen dead world, in order to return to life centering on God we must be resurrected. We need to be born again. But being born is not the conclusion; we then must go through the growth period. To pass through that, indemnity conditions must be established. Indemnity conditions are required not only for fulfilling the individual's responsibility but also for the national mission and world mission. You must know that what you do concerning this determines what happens with your Blessing. As you know the will of God more and more, you realize your physical body is being made dirty through Satan and you feel like burning that which has the filthy blood of Satan flowing through it. You feel like throwing away your hands and feet and your whole body, which is used by Satan. If you think you want to preserve yourself as you are, stained by Satan, you are being stupid. Have you ever had that experience? Since we cannot remain dead, we need to form conditions of having eliminated our past relating with Satan. You need to get the lesson from Teacher about the method for making the indemnity condition. If, a long time ago in Japan, there had been one person thinking about that and forgetting even the coasts of Japan, by now Japan could have unified the whole world. There is no business in the world as great as that. In the Bible it says, "What good is it if you gain the whole world and lose your life?" Life is that precious. We must know the correct method for the indemnity condition, which results in your own precious life. The way for salvation is to form indemnity conditions and then receive restoration. Through indemnity you climb reversely the path by which the Fall happened. Father established all the historical indemnity conditions, then he gained victory. It should not be a problem even if Satan attacks with all of his methods and ways, as Satan has done to goodness until now. Perfection does not happen automatically for people in the fallen world, but is established through indemnity. Self-perfection is accomplished through the perfection of indemnity. Those who have not gone over the hills of indemnity absolutely have no way to be perfected. From the internal view, it is perfection of the individual self; from God's side, it can be said to be restoration. Perfection of indemnity could be called the perfection of restoration. That is why it is restoration through indemnity. Therefore, we can never separate these two words: indemnity and restoration. When we say "perfection through indemnity," it means "indemnity for restoration." We reach perfection through the course of restoration through indemnity. First indemnity, then restoration. After being restored, then go the way of perfection. Accordingly, you can think of indemnity and restoration as one.
