1.The Reason Why We must Love Our Enemies

What is Satan targeting now? He is targeting God precisely. God must be the existence that keeps the ideal standard forever. God will accept the fact if you ask that. If Satan asks, "God, did you position the Archangel with temporary love or eternal love?" how will God answer the question?

God will answer that he positioned him with eternal love. If He acts with temporary love, God becomes a temporary existence. If He canOt hold the standard of eternal love, someday He will loose his authority to enforce it. Therefore, no matter how Satan opposes Him, God has to build the standard to love him. Satan will say to God, OEven though I fell and have become a bad existence, you and good people canOt use the same method. I like to fight but you shouldnOt like it; even if you are hit, you must persevere."

God is non-resistant. Why is that so? God has to love under any circumstances until Heaven on earth, God's fervent desire, is established. No matter how enraged and lost Satan can be, God canOt punish him. God has to set a standard that, no matter where Satan is, He loves him; and unless Satan says, OOh, truly God is God. I can be happy,." God canOt have a complete victory. It is a problem. Because of this problem, God is tied up by Satan. Since God goes such a way to overcome Satan with love, then we, God's children, should go that way, too.

If God treats Satan as his enemy and foe, and has a mind for revenge, God can never gain the place of winner. For that reason, God has proceeded with the strategy of Olove your enemy." The conclusion of JesusO teaching was Olove your enemy." (Apr. 3, 1983)

It is a great deed that God's only son, Jesus, prayed for Satan while his enemy was trying to kill him. If Jesus had resentment against his enemy for being killed, history would have been reversed. Because he overcame his death with love, Satan had to surrender to him.

It is the way to remain as God's son forever. Satan approves it and gives his signature for it. If you ask Satan, OSatan, am I truly a son of God?,." he should answer OYes, that is correct." You will say, OPeople living as I do expand the realm reciprocating God, isnOt that so?" and Satan should answer, OYes, since it's the Principle, it must be so." You have to act that way.

In this way, the providence has developed centering on the realm of Christian culture, according on this criterion. You have to keep going for the movement of love even if you are on the way to sacrifice, in the position of a martyr or in the position to shed your blood. Romans who persecuted Christians severely were overcome by the love of Christians that loved the enemy. Christianity has became a world religion that way. (Apr. 3, 1983)
