What religion can be called a true religion? First, it is the religion for monopolizing God's love. Then, what kind of being is the being who can monopolize God's love? One loves one's creative work, and if there is another who likes and loves that work, the creator will also like and love that other.

In the same way, if there is a person who loves God's creation even more than does God Himself, God will love that person most, and He will want to bequeath totally to him His fortune, His authority and even His love. But the only being who could love and cherish all of God's things more than does God would be Godis child. Therefore the being whom God loves most is God's child who loves God as his father. That child is the being who can monopolize God's love.

The child who monopolizes God's love has the same subjective authority as God. In that way we can understand that in the Garden of Eden, Adam, the being who was to become the true father of humankind, was the incarnation of and had equal authority with God. The religion of this child who can monopolize the love of God is the true religion.

Second, the religion which is seeking this masterpiece of God's creation that is monopolizing God's love is the true religion. That is to say, the religion that is seeking God's child and seeking to establish a relationship with that child is the true religion. The religion which centers on the spirit and denies the body in order to establish this new relationship, centers on the new relationship and denies the old relationships, and centers on the new family, tribe, nation and world while denying this world is a true religion.

Third, the religion which reveals God's love is a true religion. The religion which reveals God's love as parental love, and as conjugal and children's love is a true religion.

Then which religion is denying the world in order to find God's child and is revealing God's love? It is Christianity. By proclaiming God as the Father and saying He was God's son, Jesus proclaimed a deep realm of moral principles. Moreover, Jesus said, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Further, he said that we must love him more than anyone else. Then in view of the fact that Christianity further says that Christ will come again in the Last Days as the King of Kings, in the glory of the Father and in love, we can see that Christianity is the truest religion. Because of that we pray in the name of the True Parents. (23-188)

Then, among the religions, which religion is the true religion? It is the religion which seeks to establish a Parent-child relationship with God, and furthermore to establish sibling relationships to realize one family on earth centered on God. To the extent that a religion is like that, it is the great religion which God desires and the religion which humankind will exalt.

We must remember the main content of a true religion. It wouldn't do for Buddhism to not pass the test, nor for Islam, nor for Christianity. Whichever religion can come close to this is close to God. As long as God exists, such a religion will develop worldwide. That religion will establish a foundation which will be able to move the world. This is most logical. (91-225)

Among the religions, which is the best religion? Which religion is the true religion? To be a true religion, it must teach the conditions for happiness. It must have the necessary requisites. Then what are the conditions for happiness? What is the absolute condition for happiness? It is God's love, isn't it? [Yes.]

Unless a religion is centered on God's love, and has in it the conditions to be able to possess the complete content of God's love and to teach it, it is not a true religion. That conclusion can be reached. (160-270)
