Family Pledge No.1
As the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, Our family pledges to seek our original homeland and establish the original ideal of creation, the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven, by centering on true love.
True love is connected to God eternally. Because God is an eternal being, when we connect to true love, we can automatically become eternal beings. Cheon Il Guk is the nation in which two people become one. You should be able to fulfill the way of true children of filial piety in front of God, of patriots in the nation, of saints in the world, and of divine sons and daughters in heaven and earth with an attitude of one heart, one body, one mindset, and one harmony based on mind and body unity.
All of you can determine with a pure mind of filial piety, "We will live attending True Parents eternally." Otherwise, you cannot become citizens of Cheon Il Guk. It does not matter that there are certain difficult or unhappy circumstances in this world. You must go beyond them. You can be the person who is to inherit Cheon Il Guk only when you determine to become God's representative in the position of a pioneering prince. Your clans must attend God as tribal messiahs. So the family is the starting base that can attend and live together with God. You have to know that the family is the starting base of the Kingdom of God on Earth and in Heaven.

Family Pledge No. 3
As the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, Our family pledges to perfect the Four Great Realms of Heart, the Three Great Kingships, and the Realm of the Royal Family, by centering on true love.
The perfection of the Four Great Realms of Heart is the path we have to go to perfect ourselves as human beings. The Four Great Realms of Heart are the realm of the child's heart, the realm of the brother and sister's heart, the realm of the husband and wife's heart, the realm of the parent's heart. The Four Great Realms of Heart should be perfected within the realm of God's vertical heart so that we can liberate God from His sorrow. Our family is the foundation for realizing and actualizing the four great realms of heart. Therefore, we should live a life of love within our own family.
Families that have completed and perfected the Four Great Realms of Heart and Three great kingships are ideal families. God holds the kingship over heaven, and the parents hold the kingship over the earth. The sons and daughters are the kings and queens who inherit this. The place where all these Three Great Kingships are bound together and bear fruit is our own ideal family.
Only after realizing the Four Great Realms of Heart and the Three Great Kingships, can we enter the realm of the royal family, or the royal clan. All of you should now become part of the royal family centering on true love. Unless you pass through all these gates, you cannot meet God in the original world.

Family Pledge No. 4
As the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, Our family pledges to build the universal family encompassing Heaven and Earth, which is God's ideal of creation, and perfect the world of freedom, peace, unity and happiness, by centering on true love.
God's ideal of Creation is "One Family under God." All the ideals of creation would have been realized if a perfected Adam and perfected Eve, perfected children, and a family based on the four-position foundation, had been linked to God's love. At the conclusion of the history of restoration, a true family based on true parents and true love will be established as the hope of humankind and at the same time the hope of God. This true family will be the starting point of the peace and happiness of humankind.
In the ideal society and nation, people are conscious of being the sons and daughters of the one God and become brothers and sisters under the True Parents. In the ideal society and nation, Blessed Families, who have restored their lineage, rights of ownership and hearts, realize a world of freedom, peace and unity based on the True Parents' language and culture. They will come to lead lives of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universally shared values within the culture of God's heart.

Family Pledge No. 5
As the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, Our family pledges to strive everyday to advance the unification of the spirit world and the physical world as subject and object partners, by centering on true love.
Adam's family is the core of all reciprocal subject and object partners in the physical world created by God, while God is the core of the subject and object partners in the spirit world. Mind is in the subject position and body is in the object position. Likewise, the spirit world is in the subject position and the physical world is in the object position. And God and True love can link the spirit world and physical world. We should strive every day to advance God's will. If we strop, death awaits us. So we must advance forward God's will every day even one step.

As the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, Our family pledges to embody God and True Parents; we will perfect a family that moves heavenly fortune and conveys Heaven's blessing to our community, by centering on true love.
It is not just I (Rev. Moon) but also you who should be True Parent. You are all seeds taking after me as the large tree. You resemble the root. Just as individuals have fortune, so do families, nations, and the world; in the same token, all of heaven and earth have heavenly fortune. The fortunes of the nation and the world are determined in accordance with the direction and progress of heavenly fortune, which encompasses and exists for the sake of the whole.
Just as heavenly fortune follows the True Parents around when they move, you should unite completely with them and become families that move heavenly fortune and convey Heaven's blessing to your community. You should create families like yours around you. You are pledging to be such a central family.

As the Owner of Cheon Il Guk, Our family pledges to perfect a world based on the culture of heart, which is rooted in the original lineage, through living for the sake of others, by centering on true love.
If we inherit the original lineage centered on God, the original culture of heart arises. Culture is linked through history. The culture of heart should be a network of the family, society, nation and world. Be a person who lives for the sake of others. This is the basis of the generation and formation of the cosmos. God exists for the sake of others. The ones who live for the sake of others, centering on true love, are welcomed, day or night, wherever they go in the cosmos.
The coming future world is the world of the new culture of heart and the culture of love based on the true family, where God, human beings, and all things live in harmony. It is the world of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universally shared values in which people live for the sake of others in true love and live together in harmony and cooperation.
