4) Things to be careful of after joining the Church

Today you are going on the road of faith and you know the noun called "religion"... If you joined the church then are you qualified to accept the good things of the Unification Church. Are you qualified to manage those things? One who cannot manage it cannot have a relationship with the good world. Can you be responsible? One who can't be responsible can't make a relationship with the good world either. Do you get it? [Yes] Therefore, you must be responsible and manage the responsibility. After that, when its good and someone likes it, that will bring about the consequence of goodness. We should know that. (151-208)

One doesn't become a person who can be called by God, that is, one who can carry out God's responsibility, in a day or two. That kind of person should be a person who can remain with God's heart even while suffering starvation and shedding blood; but this can't be done in a day or two. It takes more than three or four years of time. (17-12)

These days people who joined recently are trying to smell out something like a hunting dog. Although they're smelling things, they're not trying to smell normally; they're walking around like mongrels with their mouths dragging and they're only trying to smell dung. If people have joined the Unification Church, then they should try to solve the problems centering on me. What are they going to accomplish by mixing with good-for-nothings. It is useless to hang around with those good-for-nothings.

I am saying this because the time to establish a new attitude is coming. Therefore you have to have a new attitude as a believer, as a believer of the Unification Church. The most important thing here is to have a firm faith about the center. Until you have that belief, no matter how much you make determinations, it is of no use. What will happen to you when you run into some incident while going on this way? Try asking and answering this yourself. (27-114)

You who are calling yourselves believers of the Unification Church, if you have determined to fight with style for heaven with brave spirits, then you must not trade that with anything at all. You should be able to say, "No," even when someone says he will give something any human would like; "No," even when someone says he will let you rule any kind of realm; "No," even if they threaten to kill you.

Only when someone does God's will should you say, "Yes." Humankind are fallen people who must break through the stronghold of Satan. If it doesn't end at one, then go up to ten; if it doesn't end at ten, then go up to a thousand. But humankind don't know this. Thank you for joining the Unification Church. But you must throw away your personal desire and ambition from that day on. You should start this task after burying the desire and ambition you have. It's that way when seen by the providence. Jesus did that, as did the many prophets called out to heaven with their jaws set even as their blood was being shed by their enemies' spears. You must take deep into your hearts the determination of those who said, "Father! Release your sorrow!" (8-60)

Don't be disappointed that you joined the Unification Church. Since all the laws and order of love established by all the logical conclusions that Reverend Moon talked about are here, then it is certain that you must go this way forever and settle here forever! [Amen.] That kind of person is a true person. Then you understand the true appearance? [Yes.] Now you must go forward and not forget. (139-227)
