4) The Completed Testament Age is the Age of Offering

How do we connect to the fruit of six thousand years of history? God and Satan, centering on humans, requested what kind of conditions? They are conditions through offerings. When we review the six thousand year providential history, in the Old Testament Age they made offerings of animals. In the New Testament Age, Jesus Christ was the substantial offering.

So then, progressing towards the Completed Testament Age what foundation is needed to make our offering? You yourselves, the saints of today, by offering yourselves, cross over the crest of offering. (2-111)

In the Old Testament Age animals served as offering for the condition, and in the New Testament Age the offering was through belief in Jesus, but in the Completed Testament Age individuals must be the offering. You yourselves, representing of six thousand years of history, must be the offering. In other words, if you want to stand in front of Father, you must make absolutely one united offering. That offering is all your material possessions, your beloved sons and daughters, your wife and even yourself. Only through this can you go the way of the historical offering, and you must know with certainty that only after that can you enter into a relationship with God. (2-118)
