For what kind of existence did God create man? God made man the object of His love, who could have God's absolute, unique value. This is an amazing fact. These days, how much value can a man's life have? How much will it be? Man is such an invaluable existence. The amazing fact is that God created man and woman as an object of love with a precious value that can't be exchanged even with the universe! Isn't it good!

Isn't it so today even in the literary world? Isn't the backbone of everything love? An eternal, unchanging love, unique love. Love that can move history. Love that penetrates history instead of being punished by history. Do you desire such a love? Don't you want it?

Man comes out of love, grows up with love, lives with love, and dies with love. However, he doesn't perish in vain.

God, who is the subject of man, is eternal, unchanging, and unique. So, if man can stand as an object in front of God, he also can live eternally. The theory of eternal life originated from this point. (142:143)

What kind of person is the truest person on the earth today? It is the person who can be one with God eternally and be loved by God completely as His child. We can say that the way of life in which such people live with God is the way of a true life. You should know this.

Man, whoever he is, looks for the best. When man stands at the highest position, does God belong to him, or not? (Belongs to him.) And does he belong to God, or not? (Belongs to God.) So, he becomes God's child and becomes as God himself. Then, to whom does the universe belong? (Belongs to him.)

Then, if God has one whom He loves most and thinks most precious, does God create him to throw him away after He spends one day, 10 years, or 100 years with him? Or did He create him to be with Him eternally? (He created them to be together eternally.) So it is with man. When man dies, would he cease his life or live eternally? (He should live eternally.) He should live eternally. Why? Man is the object of the absolute God who created with absolute love so that He can feel joy.

If a man enjoys someone for 1 or 2 days, 10 years, or 100 years and then throws her away, it is not love. The more he loves her, the longer he wants to be with her.

There was once even a man whose wife died young and who stayed single the rest of his life, carrying her handkerchief. The husband wore roses on his clothes the rest of his life because his wife loved roses.

When God created His most precious only son and daughter, did He create them to perish after 100 years? (No.) Therefore, it is the Principle that man lives eternally. For eternal life, man has to stand on the foundation of an action where stronger power is poured out. Therefore, the longer it lasts and the more it is given and received, the stronger and the greater his love becomes, and it will not be consumed.

An ideal doesn't end only as happiness but also expands to become an unlimited happiness. This is our ideal nation and God's nation. Do you understand? (Yes.)

Then, do you desire the eternal life, or not? (We desire it.) Man desires eternal life even vaguely. If you have some precious possession, will you bring it with you when you try to escape from any kind of danger, or not? (We will bring it.) Do you want to be proud of it, or not? (We want to be proud.) After you are proud of it for one or two days, will you stop being proud of it, or not? (No.) When you are about to die, will you want to leave it to your descendants, or not? (We want to leave it.) You want to leave it to them eternally.

God is an eternal, absolute being, so His object whom He loves should live eternally. Therefore, man has desired an eternal life since long, long ago.

Therefore, absolute God couldn't help looking for a loving son and daughter who have the value of eternal life. (39:42)

We human beings resemble God as God's creative masterpiece. Because we have to have an eternal nature as God is eternal, our heart doesn't become old. Do you understand?

Therefore, man should live eternally. As man lives eternally, he can have value as a masterpiece. Therefore, man is the lord of all creation.

Man has to live eternally. Therefore, we can't think that everything is finished after we live 70 or 80 years. What shall we do? It must be so easy to be able to think, "When I am dying, I erase whatever I have done. I'll just fly away into the air." (159:281)
