1. YOU HAVE TO PREPARE ON EARTH

Once God created Adam, Eve, and the Archangel, He said it was good. He meant they shouldn't fight one another. It is the teaching of religion that the mind can overcome physical desire. In the fallen world we have to overcome evil to gain goodness.

When we do this completely while still in our physical body, it means that even Satan has surrendered. His root is cut off. When we overcome Satan, we can go to Heaven. We can't overcome Satan without a physical self. The reason is that since the physical self had an accident on the earth, it must be fixed on the earth. Unless you accomplish whatever you're supposed to do on earth, you may go to hell.

Correspondingly, when you gain victory on earth and stand on the heavenly side of goodness, you can go to the eternal Heaven. (65:294).

Our physical life is short. It is not long. If you knew it you wouldn't want to waste time sleeping and eating. You should eat while marching forward. You should sleep while marching forward. Eat while walking and play while walking. It is so miserable, isn't it? The more miserable it is, the greater the blessing you receive. More than anyone else you need to know this historical content. (80:226)

Our stage is a worldwide offering table. Therefore, these "all things" are worldwide "all things." My body is the body of humankind in the whole world. My heart is the heart of all humankind. The core of my heart is one with God. These are one offering. Who is going to disgrace the offering?

Things don't happen accidentally. The preparation is not easy. Therefore, when we think about our whole life, those who know that childhood is the preparation time for adolescence will be prosperous. The prime time is the time of preparation for old age. Old age is the time of preparation to go to the spiritual world. Our whole life is a training and preparation period to gain a universal personality. (147:188)

Even though we live in this world, we know there is also the spiritual world. We know this world and the spiritual world are not two unrelated worlds but should be connected as one.

Then what kind of place are we supposed to go and live? Even though we live in this world with a physical body, we are aiming toward the eternal world.

After their birth, many people in this world simply pass through their teens, twenties, thirties, middle age, prime age, and old age. After they pass youth and reach their prime, gradually they enter old age. They finish their life like the sunset.

However, those who know that there is a spiritual world are aware that our life here is short, but the world after death is eternal. Therefore, our life is a time to prepare for the eternal life. Isn't this world like that?

For example, there is a certain standard in school of how many credits a student has to gain in one semester and in one year. If the standard is 100 percent, you can be recognized in school according to how much you accomplished toward the goal. The less you accomplish, the further you will be from the standard of the school. We can use this standard to calculate everything.

We live in this world like students preparing to gain credit in school. We prepare to gain credit throughout our life, aiming for the result that we are destined to accomplish in our life process. In other words, you live daily life based on the standard of how much you accomplish of your responsibility. (140:121)

How great is God? God is absolute. Since God has a desire to say, "You should do it for me," don't you think God provided the providence for salvation and is tiredly waiting for the fallen world?

If I put you in God's position, how many days could you take His role? One week? (No.) Then one month? This is the problem. If you go to the spiritual world, you have to face it at once. Please, ask yourself when you wake up in the morning, wash your face, and look at yourself, "What did you do? What are you going to do?''

The answer is obvious. You don't have to make excuses. It is clear. Don't you know yourself in the mirror well? You mostly know which level of the spiritual world you are going to. Do you know what I'm talking about? (Yes.) Death is coming. When you die, you'll be pulled according to how much you lived for yourself. If you are seldom selfless, you'll be pulled in this way. Even though I taught you very clearly, some fail and some go to hell. These people can't accuse me. They can't say, "Why didn't you teach me clearly while I was on earth?''

Therefore, do not do anything for the sake of yourself, but think how to live for the sake of God, heaven and earth, your nation, your tribe, your family, and your spouse. If you live for others, you'll be pulled into the perfect world even though you try to escape and try to go backward because you think it is for the sake of yourself. How peaceful it is! How easy it is!

If you live your life centered on yourself, you have to worry about everything, saying, "Oh, I failed this and I failed that." However, if you live for the sake of others for ten, twenty years, everything will be your friend. If you live for the sake of others, your heart becomes empty, so the truth will come to you.

When you try to live with the truth, God will follow you. He belongs to me because He wants to. This is logical. Therefore, those who want to live for the sake of others can completely inherit the Completion Era. This is the conclusion.

What can we be proud of in the Unification Church? What is first? True love! What is next? True Parents! Then True Children! What comes next? True tribe! These are our four goals. What is the first one? (True love!) What is the second? (True Parents!) What is the third? (True Children!) What is the fourth? (True tribe!) We have to gain these. Without true love, all these would have to be destroyed. (203:101)
