Heavenly Kingdom has been the end of the fallen man throughout long, long history, and there is no wonder that family, social, national, world, and universal kingdoms are through an individual on this earth; and since it's the hope of God and mankind, neither God nor man can fulfill the kingdom of heaven, the center of our hope and ideal, without forming close relations between them.
It was the basic purpose and primary mission of Jesus' coming to recover the broken relationship between God and man and fulfill the original Garden of Eden as created through the propagation of truth.
Jesus, in fact, had many things to say to the Jewish people, but their distrust of him forced him to tell them in parables and symbols instead of disclosing the truth clearly. Though Jesus couldn't open his heart to them 2,000 years ago, the time is coming soon when both the internal and external truth will come to appear, and it will surely be the end of the world.
God and creation have been waiting for the universal (central) figure endowed with such a form of truth through whom God can resolve His grudge for the first time. There may be the introduction of new truth to the fallen men and a new experience of unified feelings through life movement centering around the universal figure, which is the starting point of the Heavenly Kingdom of Love, Truth, and Life.
During the long period of history, God has been leading the movements for recovering truth and love through words and life; in other words, He has been trying to make the degenerate people be able to go through His love through the Holy Spirit, the center of truth, and Jesus, the center of life.
The love of the Holy Spirit and Jesus is not the final desire of fallen men, but God's love, which they can go through based on truth and life.
Three forms of love, life, and truth may mean God, man, and creation.
As Peter expressed truth for Christ, love for the living God, and life for the Son, he was qualified to receive the key to the kingdom of heaven.
We are to get the key to open the door of truth, because the bearer of the key can only obtain the love of the Holy Spirit.
Many people are wandering about valleys and fields with anxious hearts for the truth, one of the three forms of keys to the kingdom of heaven.
To get the key to obtain God's love, one must seek the substantial being representing the love of God, the life of Jesus, and the truth of the Holy Spirit.
Without Him, you neither fulfill the Heavenly Kingdom nor go through love to the Kingdom.
Then what can be the first above all we should seek?
It could be no other than the original mind He created in us.
When Jesus said that there is the Kingdom of Heaven in our mind, the mind is, of course, the original one, and it also means that the Kingdom of Heaven has nothing to do with him who did not recover his original mind.
What then can make you find and recover your original mind?
Nothing other than abandoning oneself and having a genial and modest heart before God enables us to recover it.
If any person is willing to keep a steadfast and unchangeable love and a truth other than an egocentric one and go through all hardship and suffering, he will surely be given the way to find heavenly love.
Since truth, life, and love are in the eternal triangle, where there is truth, there should follow love and life, as there should follow truth and life where love is; in other words, there should be love closely connected or correlated with truth and life, based on love and truth.
Such a relation among truth, love, and life is similar to that of God, man, and creation; so with all His love, truth, and life, God has been forced to grieve for the hostility between man and creation.
Since it is providential purpose to bring celestial love, life, and truth to the creation through man, God sent Abraham and Jesus for its fulfillment.
The thirty years of Jesus' carpenter life were the period of struggle against all the elements slandered by Satan.
In such a struggling course, God can't show which way is true. Sometimes God says what is right, and sometimes He says something wrong. We can only trust our original mind, which is unchangeable in every case.
Glancing at a philosophical course, we can easily come to the conclusion that rational philosophy has been replaced by a vital one, and it can and should be changed to a philanthropic one. To adjust ourselves to God's character, we should be endowed with a wide and lofty character to harmonize with the minds of wicked people, for His character is the reality of love.
If someone tries to adjust their character partially to God's, it will finally result in a partial position in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus was what is called yeast; yeast is the raw material and source of harmony. He came to bring forth the restoration of Satan to the original state, to introduce God's love, and as His representative.
For one to get the love of God, universal supervision should be preceded by self-supervision. This has been my slogan. Consequently, the love, truth, and life of God will spread based on self-supervision.
