If you were called and started on the road of the Will through Reverend Moon, then you have to know, as a person who is called, for what you are called, where you are going, and, if you decided to go like this, what portion of the way you have gone. If a person has once determined something, he has to make his decisions centering on that determination. "Yes" or "no," you have to answer it.

It's the same for me. I promised in front of heaven... "I will certainly go this kind of way; so even if my friend betrays me, even if my parents betray me, or even if my wife and children betray me, I will go. If my people betray me, and if the Unification Church itself which I belong to betrays me, I'll go even sweeping it away." I have been going like this from the day I was called. I'm also going that way now. I'll be going tomorrow, too. It's better to go the way quickly. The slower you go the worse it is. There are tens of millions of lives on a train to hell, and they are all falling into hell. (999-223)

Today, you, the people who joined the Unification Church, are learning the principle. You are learning the principle centered on Adam's family; you are learning the principle centered on Noah's family; you are learning the principle of the time periods of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, and you are learning the principle of God who has been carrying out the providence behind the scenes throughout history. But you are beings who just follow. Therefore you have to walk the way without a break following the principle.

Through it, you should think, "I'll establish and save Adam's family, I'll save Noah's family, I'll save Abraham's family: I'll even teach them, not just save them." Since you have been called and have the whole responsibility to take care of the world mission in this black world, you should stand in a position which allows you to point out to Moses the things that were wrong when he was leading the people of Israel. (12-196)

If you pledge something after joining the Church, by what standard are you going to do it? If your pledge in front of the Will was done with a true heart, then since it endured a long time it would have grown a lot internally even if it didn't show so much externally. In Abraham's time, Abraham didn't know it, but saints in the spirit world and also the world of angels were cooperating with him. If there is a person who pledges himself and is loyal to God, then even though he is living in this era, he doesn't end as a person of this era: he will be a historic person. Also, the work that he is doing is historic work. In the words, "It is historic," everything is included. (12-107)
