Success on Every Level

The purpose of the Unification Church is to save the world. The world is a complex body made up of many interrelated parts; therefore our Church, as a microcosm, must be as diverse and versatile as the world itself, but with a difference--our church, to save the world, must fully reflect God’s original world of creation, centered on the True Parents.

What is this original world like? In this world there is no loneliness, alienation, crime, or want; children do not have to struggle with sin to com~ to God, and all people are perfectly free to do what is good in God’s sight. Everyone is, as Jesus said: “I am in the Father and I in you and you in me.” In such a world every part of creation has its valuable role to play, and no part conflicts with or is separated from the good of the whole.

Each Family member must ask himself how much his life reflects God’s original intention. Most would have to admit that they fall short of the ideal; but only to the extent that we realize the true pattern in our lives can we extend it to the physical and spiritual worlds.

To do this our whole lives must be centered on the Principle. God used the Principle to create goodness in nature and in man’s heart, and through us, He can create more goodness on the social, political, economic, and cultural levels; but He depends upon our wholehearted response, faith, and dedication. Now we are expanding God’s dispensation to embrace science, politics, economics, and culture; and we cannot but be successful on every level as long as our hearts completely coincide with our Heavenly Father’s.
