SERMON-This Is the Age When God the Mother Is Needed[3]

Those who participate in the divine nature of God the Mother

As the children of Zion, we should guide all people around the world to the right path with the spirit of God the Mother. Now, let's take a look at some relevant teachings of the Bible. 2 Pe 1:3-11 『 . . . so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.』Faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love?all these virtues are the spirit of faith that God the Mother wants Her children to have. "Consider others better than yourselves." "Serve one another." When we inscribe these teachings of Mother on our hearts and put them into practice, we will be able to achieve all the virtues stated above one after another and participate in the divine nature. Without the change of our personality, we cannot bear any God-pleasing fruit and will finally fall away from the faith. The people of Zion who abide in the truth of the new covenant should have the divine nature. With the divine nature, we should go to all people around the world, preach to them the good news of salvation through God the Mother, and give their hearts peace and comfort. The good news that brings peace is the good tidings described in Isaiah 40, that is, the gospel. Now the world is earnestly seeking God the Mother. Let us go quickly into the world and let all the people know about God the Mother who dwells in Zion, so that in 2009 we can bear heavenly fruits abundantly and bring them into the barn of Zion. In order to do this, we should resemble the heart of Mother. 1 Jn 4:7-21 『Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. . . . Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. . . . And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. . . . We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.』 God is love. Of course, love is also inherent in men, and God the Father is love, too. However, as the word "love" is regarded as feminine in all countries, God has planted the greatest love in the world, in the whole universe, into the heart of Mother. The One whom the whole world needs the most now is God the Mother who is "love" itself. 1 Jn 3:1-14 『How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, . . . This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.』The Bible says that since we are children of God, we should love one another. When we yield to each other, compliment one another and practice love, following the teachings of Mother, people in the world will recognize that there are the true teachings of Mother that enable us to do so and will seek the heavenly Mother, won't they? So the Bible says that the beautiful acts of the saints become ornaments on the fine linen of the Bride (Isa 49:14-18; Rev 19:7-8). We, people of Zion, should become the salt and light of the world, so that all people in the world can be convinced of the existence of God the Mother through our good deeds.
