4) Living for the Sake of Others

If you are fifty years old and you lived for the sake of the universe and heavenly law for over 25 years, you can go to the Kingdom of God. You can go beyond the boundary line to be able to stay in a better realm of the spirit world. But people who live their whole life centered on themselves go to the original homeland of evil-hell-regardless of their feelings. This has to be true. You have to recognize your situation and reflect on your past. You should make effort to live for the sake of the whole--the country, the world, heaven and earth, and God--during the rest of your lifetime. If you do so, it follows that you will march forward to the ideal world in heaven. (78-119)

You may not know much about the spirit world, but True Father is an expert. I have experienced the spirit world more than anyone else has. The spirit world is my special major field. What is the origin of the spirit world? The world which is composed through the Principle-living for the sake of others- must be the Kingdom of God that humanity is expecting. That is our original homeland.

We are destined to go there regardless of our will. That is our way of life. We are going the way of a traveler. What can be a problem in your life? Whether you are living more for the sake of others or for yourself. If you lived more for the sake of others, you will go to the Kingdom of God. If the opposite is true, you will go to hell. You may be unable to believe this fundamental formula now, in your present situation, but when you die you will come to understand.

God has worked providentially to save mankind through religion. Therefore, the higher the dimension of a religion, the more that religion teaches higher contents which are in accord with the principle of the original homeland. Therefore, many high religions could not help but teach the idea of sacrifice and service.

Because God has been working providentially behind religion to match the world to the original world, we cannot deny that God is working within human history. Accordingly, a religion that is living for the sake of others will develop, while a religion which tries to take the subjective position, centered on itself, will decline. (74-51)

What is the Kingdom of God? You should know with certainty what the Kingdom of God is. It is the world of love. It is the world of living for the sake of the center, God. (98-35)
