1. YOU SHOULD BE A MODEL FIRST

When can you adore my family as the Abel-type family and at the same time your children become one with mine? This is the problem. To do so, you should give them the education of Heaven. Teaching them, you should be an example first. You should be a dutiful child first. When you yourselves become devoted sons and daughters following the rules of Heaven, the relationship of heavenly traditional filial piety will be established.

From that position you have to teach your sons and daughters the moral way to live for the Will and become loyal subjects of the Heavenly Kingdom. You have to become the parents who can grab hold of your children's hands letting them drink the tears you shed, teaching them that the country they are living in is not their real nation; rather, that they are a people without a nation, but that there is a nation which they will have to serve.

Just as you can hear the breath of a baby in your embrace, you have to come close to your children, teaching them from the position where they can shed tears worrying about Heaven together with you. You have to teach them to become filial sons and daughters, just as their parent is filial, and to be loyal subjects just as their parent has written the history of struggle, working for the nation even in the face of great persecution. I have, until now, made it the absolute purpose of my life to worry about how I can leave this tradition to you. (30-113)

Parents cannot force their children to be filial, teaching them to be dutiful. The thought of being filial should come from the heart. Therefore, it cannot come true over night. It should influence them for a long time. What does the word 'influence' mean? A father should show a good model of himself in his daily life to his son. You should be a specialist to practice such things. (29-99)

What are you going to tell your children? You should now teach and show your children and spouses how to take over the tradition in its official aspects, recollecting the past. So children themselves...

This is not something they can learn in school. In order to inherit the tradition they should show off and give the things they learned from school to their parents. Do you understand? [Yes.] Then the flowers of love will bloom. A family of love will come true. (111-257)

Parents should be a good example following the Will. You should show children a life of faith such as praying, and serving in your house as seriously as other Christians. And you should make them realize how important the pledge ceremony is. During this time you should teach children as parents with the Will as well as performing the ceremony. Parents should practice something first, for the sake of educating the children. Parents should be devoted to God's Will. By it, you can make them never talk back whatever you say, but respect you. Otherwise they won't obey their parents.

As children look at the parents centering on the Will and the Principle, they know their parents ignore what the headquarters directs and don't live as it says. Then if they force the children to live

following the fundamental truth, their children will laugh at them. Considering that kind of problem, you cannot avoid taking a new look at reality. (31-268)

We should love and harmonize with each other and be able to give and sacrifice first, making such love a rule to keep. As the subject of love is Abel, he gives it to the object first. That is the origin of love. (66-123)

What is the basis of living to be a good example? It is to be a man who is required to find God, to brighten our history, to improve this age and to take part in developing the future. I will assume the responsibility and carry it with me considering reality. It is necessary to keep the achievement you attain during a certain time as property you own in history. You should know this clearly. (21-232)
