Our Growth and Portion of Responsibility

Adam and Eve were the horizontal representatives, while God was the vertical representative.

1. Adam and Eve should have understood God's love and reached the standard of complete unity with Him, such that God's standard of love and their standard of love would be perfectly aligned at one point.

Adam and Eve were the horizontal representatives, while God was the vertical representative. These three should have united; then they would have created a sphere of love. This sphere was to have been formed based on the union between God's internal love and Adam and Eve's external love, with God's internal love as the nucleus.

Even a cell has a nucleus. Centered on this nucleus, the subject partner and object partner should have interacted by giving and receiving. That was supposed to be the standard. 

Since this did not happen, it must be rectified through the historical ages.
(145-320, 1986.06.01)

Human responsibility and the growth period 

2. Before Adam and Eve committed the Fall, certain responsibility had been given only to them. 

Had they fulfilled this and emerged as the True Parents, they would have been welcomed by all subsequent generations of parents. Then no such being as Satan could have interfered because there would have been nothing for Satan to accuse.

This would have been the reality for Adam and Eve had they not fallen. However, to this day, there has been no perfected Adam and Eve, and their absence has affected every aspect of human life throughout history.

Therefore, human beings in the fallen world have been eagerly awaiting the coming of the True Parents, and even those who have passed into the spirit world have been eagerly anticipating the day of the Second Advent. This you should clearly understand. (124-309, 1983.03.01) 

3. The portion of responsibility given to Adam and Eve was such that one mistake could result in a dreadful bottomless pit, like a cancer that could affect human beings for hundreds of millions of years.

It was Adam and Eve's task to fulfill this responsibility, and since God anticipated that Satan would challenge them on the way to fulfilling it, He warned them, “Do not eat the fruit.”

Nevertheless, they ate the fruit of good and evil. How must God have felt as He witnessed them eating the fruit? Even currently, they deviated from the right path, God must have desperately wanted to believe that they would not fall into temptation. (20-211, 1968.06.09) 

4. From the perspective of the Principle of Creation, you must take full responsibility for your actions. Even though God carries a 95 percent portion of responsibility, we must take responsibility for the remaining 5 percent. These two combined make 100 percent.

This is the Principle of Creation. The reason for this principle is that God wants us to participate in His creation so we can be given the privilege and authority of co-creators. God's responsibility is 95 percent, while only 5 percent was allocated to human beings.

Nonetheless, the first human beings could not meet even that standard. Thus, no sooner had history begun than it was plunged into darkness so that human beings had not even the slightest taste of the true world. Even today we live without ever having experienced a true world. (27-286, 1969.12.21) 

5. What is the human portion of responsibility? First, it is to become true children; second, to become true brothers and sisters; third, to become true couples; and fourth, to become true parents.

That is why we are born as babies and then become children, siblings, couples, and parents. As parents, you can create children on behalf of God; then you can experience, internally and externally, the reality of God's happiness when He created Adam and Eve. (225-129, 1992.01.05) 

6. The realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle and the realm of God's direct dominion must be connected, and true love is what makes this possible. Adam and Eve failed to make this connection, so we have to do it.

Had they made this connection, one cultural sphere would have been established, and the world would have become one people, one nation, and one land. However, that connection was not made.

Consequently, the world became centered on the devil and was divided into many nations. We must unite these nations and return to the original world.
(212-204, 1991.01.06)

7. To fulfill the human portion of responsibility, we must go beyond the realm of indirect dominion and reach the realm of God's direct dominion. We have to enter that realm where God's heart and our heart become one in God's love; then we can travel freely between the two worlds, heaven and earth.

This is the viewpoint of the Principle. Once we secure a horizontal position that can represent the vertical Parent centered on God's love, from that point on, Satan will no longer exist. That is the realm of God's direct dominion.
(185-127, 1989.01.03) 

8. The reason God set the standard of the human portion of responsibility was to complete the ideal of love. God apportioned 5 percent of the responsibility to human beings when He created them because He needed them as His object partners. One being alone cannot attain love.

Even though God is omniscient and omnipotent, He cannot manifest His love without object partners. When a teenager is without a companion, he or she does not even know that love exists. But when his or her beloved partner appears, love begins to stir inside.

Likewise, fulfilling the human portion of responsibility requires a process: by passing through a certain period, Adam and Eve were to reach maturity and come into bloom, emitting fragrance like a flower. Then God would have come to dwell in Adam and Eve, claiming the position of humankind's internal Father and Mother, and they would have created the structure of the human family.

This was to occur not only in the family but also in the tribe, the people, the nation, and the world. The whole human race would thus be God's direct lineage. (130-021, 1983.12.11)

9. Why did God give human beings a portion of responsibility? As He is omniscient and omnipotent, He wanted to endow us with those same creative abilities. Furthermore, as God is the subject partner with eternal and unchanging love, He vested human beings with a portion of responsibility to have us stand in the position to represent Him as subject partners of love.

Further, this became the condition for human beings to receive God's blessings. That is, responsibility is the key that can lead us into the dominion of love over everything.

That is why God bequeathed this responsibility to human beings. However, the Fall occurred because human beings failed to fulfill their portion of responsibility. (20-210, 1968.06.09) 

10. Why did God give human beings a portion of responsibility? It is because we were the only ones who could, by abiding by this law, receive true love from God.

God gave us our portion of responsibility because He wanted to enable us to attain true love. If the first human beings, while in the realm of indirect dominion, had lived for the sake of God and each other, they would have matured naturally.

However, the devil, knowing God's plan, brought them into a self-centered awareness. That awareness began with the archangel. Eve fell because when the archangel seduced her, she took on a self-centered awareness, and thus separated from God.

Therefore, our life of faith requires that we completely reject Satan's world. It is a major challenge because we have to overcome our blood relationship with his world. However, once you begin your new life based on the True Parents' true love, a realm of heart is created. (182-148, 1988.10.16) 

11. If human beings had progressed to the stage where they accomplished their portion of responsibility by creating the remaining 5 percent of God's love, they would have been perfected.

In other words, they would have completed God's love. God wanted to bequeath to them, based on that condition, the ability to create the ideal of love, by which they also would have completed God's love. How precious, then, the value of such human beings would be! (130-022, 1983.12.11)

12. Those who would enter the heavenly kingdom must completely fulfill their portion of responsibility, thereby reaching the position where they become the children of True Parents, of their flesh and blood, and receive God's love directly. Heaven is where we go after having lived under the dominion of God's love.

Those who do not know this cannot enter heaven and register there. You cannot simply go there, in ignorance. That is why you need to know your portion of responsibility. Why did God give us a portion of responsibility? It was to bestow infinite value upon us.

It was to have us partake in God's work of creation. Had we not been given this portion of responsibility, we could not stand as God's object partners and receive His love. (143-077, 1986.03.16) 

13. God should not create and do everything for us. God is to fulfill 95 percent and human beings should fulfill the other 5 percent as their responsibility. Only after we fulfill our portion can we stand on an equal plane with God, acting cooperatively with Him.

Then we can rightfully give and receive love with God, the absolute subject partner, in an equal position as His object partners. This is how the ideal of love is fulfilled.

Without accomplishing our portion of responsibility, we cannot merit the honor of standing in an equal position with God and receiving His ideal love.

This is why God allocated to us a portion of responsibility, to give us the status whereby we can receive His love. (143-077, 1986.03.16) 

14. Human beings should fulfill our portion of responsibility while we are growing to maturity. This means we have to add our 5 percent to the 95 percent that represents what God has already created.

In this way, we fulfill the condition of having cooperated in God's work of creation and can share the authority of the Creator. If God had done everything for us as His beloved object partners, we would be no more than puppets, lacking any authority of our own.

God gave us our portion of responsibility as a privilege, to bestow upon us the right to become His object partners. It is a privilege with which even God cannot interfere. God gave us our portion of responsibility so that we could set the conditions for participating in our creation. (135-314, 1985.12.15) 

15. Human beings have a portion of responsibility. God's purpose in giving us responsibility is to enable us to take part in the monumental task of creation. In the creation of human beings, God creates 95 percent, and we are to complete the final 5 percent.

By fulfilling this condition, not only does God create us, but we also participate in our creation. Having our portion of responsibility endows us with equal value to God. This is a great thing. Only human beings have such a portion of responsibility. 

Despite this fact, ever since the dawn of human history, no one has fulfilled this responsibility. Indeed, we human beings did not even know about our portion of responsibility. (139-231, 1986.01.31)

16. Why did God give human beings a portion of responsibility? It was to have us partake in the glorious work of creation. Furthermore, by having us resemble God's creative nature, it qualifies us to take all things of creation under our dominion.

Further, it was to establish the absoluteness and perfection of the Principle. It was for these three reasons. You must participate in God's great work of creation. Even if human beings had not fallen, we would still have had such a responsibility.

The human portion of responsibility was not established due to the Fall; whether the Fall occurred or not, people would still have their responsibility.

Even with God fulfilling His 95 percent responsibility for the perfection of human beings, you still have to fulfill your 5 percent. God does not make an individual perfect. You must complete your responsibility to achieve perfection.
(115-066, 1981.11.04)

17. There are no exceptions to the Principle. We must go this way under any circumstances, even after we die. We must go this way even if it takes forever. Had God been able to do as He pleased, He would not have had to pass through the suffering course of the providence of restoration up to the present day.

But God restricts Himself because of His principle – the human portion of responsibility. It is for this reason that He has had to endure countless hardships to restore humankind.

The responsibility does not lie solely with God; He shares it with human beings. This would have been the case even if the Fall had not occurred.
(115-066, 1981.11.04) 

18. What is about fallen people today? Fallen human beings fail more than just their portion of responsibility. They violated 97 percent of the work of creation. For this reason, we must re-create everything. But what is re-creation?

It is not limited to fulfilling the human portion of responsibility; that is not everything. The whole process of creation has been ruined. So how difficult will it be to deal with this situation?

Human beings need to fulfill a responsibility corresponding to 97 percent; otherwise, they will never find a way to fulfill their original portion of responsibility. We must re-create everything.

The dispensation of restoration is the dispensation of re-creation. But why is re-creation necessary? It is because of human responsibility. To fulfill this responsibility and reach the point where it is completed, we must necessarily undergo the process of re-creation. (115-067, 1981.11.04) 

The human portion of responsibility and the accomplishment of the Will

19. Fulfilling the providential Will requires a subject partner and an object partner. The subject partner is God. The object partners are human beings. The object partners must unite with the subject partner centered on the providential Will; otherwise, there can be no basis for victory.

Why did God not create the object partners in oneness with the subject partner, rather than creating them to have to become one? It is because of the human portion of responsibility. It is because of this that complex problems have been passed down through the ages.

If we did not have this portion of responsibility, God would have started with a victorious history, followed a victorious course, and would have already arrived at the final destination in triumph. (109-066, 1980.10.04) 

20. The realm of responsibility remains with you, the descendants of the Fall. If you ask whether you have accomplished your responsibility, through the Principle, to reach a level of perfection that qualifies you to connect to God's love in the realm of His direct dominion, the answer is no.

Restoration through indemnity is necessary to separate Satan from human beings.

Unless you separate yourself from Satan, it is impossible to complete your portion of responsibility.

You should know, however, that if you had followed the path of responsibility and reached maturity at about the age of seventeen or eighteen, as a man you would need a woman, and as a woman, you would need a man. (148-149, 1986.10.08) 

21. Why did God give human beings a period to fulfill their portion of responsibility? 

Why did He make it such that God and human beings meet each other through the process of fulfilling their portions of responsibility? Why is it that both God and humans hope to reach a time when they achieve their common goal of fulfilling the great work of creation?

It is for love, nothing less. Maturity is the time when young people are supposed to come into full bloom, spiritually as well as physically. 

Human beings reach maturity at around the age of eighteen. If an individual's physical self and spirit self are united, at the time of maturity he or she fully blossoms, spiritually and physically, as God intended. 

Human beings are the center of the created world. Had they put forth fragrant blossoms, the whole universe would have entered the season of spring. It would have been springtime for human beings and God.

Responding to their spring fragrance, God would have sung and danced, expressing His joy. Had this happened, the realm of God's perfect life would have begun right there, for the first time. (130-020, 1983.12.11) 

22. No matter what, the center of love is not human beings, but God. Thus in the Principle, the completion of the human portion of responsibility means that our human love becomes one with God's love.

God's love is eternal; hence, when we become one with God as His partners centered on His eternal love, it creates oneness with God that is eternal. In that state, we will never separate from Him. (212-015, 1991.01.01) 

23. By completing his portion of responsibility, Adam would have fulfilled his responsibility and laid, in his one generation, the foundation for the fulfillment of the responsibilities of the family, tribe, people, nation, world, and cosmos.

Then Adam's descendants would have stood in the realm where they could complete their historical portions of responsibility on the world level, under the direct governance of the heavenly kingdom.

In such a place there would have been no world-level or national-level portion of responsibility remaining ahead of us. Adam's perfection naturally would have led to the fulfillment of the world-level portion of responsibility.

His completing the human portion of responsibility would have connected the realm of dominion based on accomplishments through the Principle to the realm of God's direct dominion. (148-148, 1986.10.08)

24. Love is the starting point of the path connecting the realm of indirect dominion to the realm of God's direct dominion. The connection is made by love and creates a bridge of love between God and human beings.

Only through that connection does the bridge of love appear. If we do not fulfill our portion of responsibility, the original ideal bridge of love between God and human beings cannot be built. Ideal love is realized only when we fulfill our portion of responsibility. (148-148, 1986.10.08)

25. What is the realm of God's direct dominion? Based on love, God finally comes to function as the subject partner, and each being emerges centered on that love. This creates a realm in which every being is connected, according to the desire of the subject partner.

Such a world would be perfection, from the perfection of Adam's family to the perfection of the whole. In that world, there would be no Satan; it would not be the fallen world we experience today.

In fact, in the realm where Adam and Eve were first given their portion of responsibility to fulfill, Satan did not exist. (148-283, 1986.10.25)

26. Once Adam and Eve complete their portion of responsibility within the realm of indirect dominion and enter the realm of God's direct dominion, God will dwell with them. Then the actualization of true love will begin, starting in their family.

That family is not just an individual family; it represents the entire cosmos and the entire world. It is a family that represents all the world's nations and all the world's peoples, tribes, families, and individuals.

Thus, that family stands representing individuals, families, tribes, peoples, nations, the world, and the cosmos in reverse order. From the bottom up they constitute the cosmos, world, nation, people, tribe, family, and couple.

When centering on love, these representatives become one with Heaven, they will establish a kingdom where everyone lives as one interconnected heavenly family. (204-283, 1990.07.11) 

27. Heaven, earth and human beings are all divided; where can we reconnect them? A boy grows to maturity, a girl also learns many things and grows to maturity, and then they finally come to know each other as a man and woman. At this point, they have become two connected and acting as one. 

The 5-percent portion of responsibility described in the Unification Church entails reaching this state. It is the state where heaven and earth unite. It is the place where the world unites as one horizontally and where heaven and earth join as one vertically, where everything in the universe joins as alpha and omega. 

Men and women were divided from the origin; hence they must return to that one point. We are the very center of the universe, but we have to recover that most precious central point. The path to recovering that position is not by money, knowledge, or power. It is by nothing other than true love. (228-081, 1992.03.15) 

28. Man and woman are the nucleus of the cosmos; they are the cosmos in microcosm. When husband and wife share true love, the entire universe is involved. Man and woman were born for the sake of love.

The realm of God's direct dominion is vertical; human beings were created to be vertical. When they fulfill their portion of responsibility, they can secure their position as owners in their vertical relationships and then as owners in their horizontal relationships. This is accomplished through true love.
(218-136, 1991.07.14) 

29. To move from the realm of indirect dominion into the realm of God's direct dominion, we need to reach full maturity and then marry. By doing so, we fulfill our portion of responsibility.

Children born of couples who are connected to God according to this absolute standard are children of God's absolute lineage. It is our responsibility as human beings to set this as our goal and achieve it. (171-262, 1998.01.02) 

30. To fulfill our responsibility, we must unite the realm of indirect dominion and the realm of God's direct dominion, unite the earthly and heavenly worlds, and unite our minds and bodies. God and the horizontal True Parents are one.

The issue is how to attain oneness in love that connects heaven and earth, love in which body and mind are one, and love that joins man and woman. Attaining oneness in love is the foundation that connects us to God's love, life, and lineage for the first time. When it is expanded and developed horizontally in all directions, the right of kingship arises. (218-124, 1991.07.14)

31. The reason God could not intervene with Adam and Eve is because of the human portion of responsibility. If only Adam and Eve had fulfilled their 5-per-cent human portion of responsibility by going through the formation and growth periods and receiving the Blessing in the state of perfection, the realm of God's direct dominion, everything would have been completed.

That would have been the new beginning of their individual life and family life, and God would have seen the completion of His Will at the beginning of history.

Had that happened, Adam and Eve would have emerged as the True Parents of true love, of God's lineage.

They would have brought forth true children, a true tribe, a true people, and a true nation. The nation they would have formed would have been the ideal nation of God's desire. It would have been the kingdom of heaven on earth.
(252-227, 1994.01.01)

32. If Adam and Eve had fulfilled their portion of responsibility, we would never utter the words. “bitter sorrow.” Due to their inability to fulfill that responsibility, the footsteps of bitter sorrow remain in the course of history.

If only they had fulfilled their portion of responsibility, human beings, the angelic work, and the entire created world would have come under the dominion of God, amid joy and glory.

This was heavenly law. Instead, due to human beings' failure to fulfill their portion of responsibility, Satan's world was formed, and this earth remains under Satan's dominion. Due to human beings' inability to fulfill their responsibility, even God has been toiling hard, enduring a painful course to this day. 

Responsibility remains in every age, for the individual, the people,e and the world. Each individual must, during his or her life course, seek and fulfill that portion of responsibility. (63-320, 1972.10.22)

33. Although God accomplished the great work of creation, He has been unable to see the fruition of His Will. Although human beings have served God throughout history, they still moan in pain, unable to see the completion of the Will.

When will the day of God's liberation come? When will the day of humanity's liberation come? That liberation depends on the fulfillment of the portion of responsibility. 

Otherwise, the ideal world that humanity longs for is impossible, and the kingdom of heaven on earth that the Unification Church seeks to realize is impossible. People who have fulfilled their portion of responsibility are perfect as God is perfect.

God contributed 95 percent in creating them, but only when people accomplish their 5 percent portion of responsibility do they qualify as perfected created beings. 

Therefore, fulfilling our responsibility leads to human perfection and also to the perfection of God's great work of creation. Completing the great work of creation means the fulfillment of God's Will, and the fulfillment of God's Will means the perfection of God Himself. (130-019, 1983.12.11)

The importance of the human portion of responsibility 

34. God is both the center of all life and the center of love. Life is the center of love, and love is the center of life. Knowing that human beings are living in pain and agony, why doesn't God intervene so that human beings can be happy?

Some people quickly raise the question, “Why, if God or the Absolute Being exists, is it the destiny of human beings to endure lives of trials and tribulations? Why have they wandered about throughout history, with an uncertain future?”

People who look at life from this standpoint can readily conclude that the God of love does not exist. (149-213, 1986.11.23)

35. Throughout the miserable history of restoration, even God with His almighty power could not do whatever He liked. This is because the 5-percent human portion of responsibility remained unfulfilled. 

God could do nothing about that, no matter how many tears He shed. Human beings must meet that crucial standard. It is human beings who must accomplish that responsibility, yet until now, they have been unaware of this.

Many people of faith believe that God can do whatever He wants because He is omnipotent. Yet, there are certain things that even God cannot do.
(14-341, 1965.01.28)

36. Why did God not intervene when human beings fell? God is the absolute Creator. Since He recognizes human responsibility, He must leave human beings to bear that responsibility on their own until they complete it.

If God were to intervene in the middle of their course, His standard of absolute authority would collapse. God is a great being. He refrains from intervening with human beings to bestow upon them the authority of second creators.

Further, God created human beings as individual embodiments of truth; hence He cannot simply do with them as He pleases. (256-108, 1994.03.12)

37. That abhorrent and bitter phrase, “restoration through indemnity,” came to exist based on the clear understanding of a principle – the human portion of responsibility. In the course of restoration through indemnity, God cannot help you. You must go through it alone.

If you received His help, it would not be indemnity. Why is that? Since the principle of the human portion of responsibility exists, if you received His help, then according to that principle, indemnification would not occur.

If He could have helped, at the time of the Fall He would have intervened with Adam and Eve and prevented them from falling. Yet, He could not do so due to the human portion of responsibility. (124-303, 1983.03.01)

38. So far, although many theologians and spiritual mediums have known of the existence of Satan, they have not been able to understand why the all-knowing and almighty God could not block Satan from opposing Him.

This is a question even for those who communicate with the spirit world. Whenever we try to go to God's side, Satan inevitably interferes. Satan opposes us from many directions, not just one. But why did God not intervene and restrain him?

This has remained a riddle. It is unknown even to those who can communicate with the spirit world. Why have we come to live in such a sorrowful reality, where Satan is uncontrolled, and why have the spirit world and the earthly world come to be in such a state?

We must find the answers to these questions. Even though God knows the answers, He cannot tell us. That too is because we have our portion of responsibility. (133-086, 1984.07.10)

39. Adam and Eve were supposed to fulfill their portion of responsibility, perfect themselves without falling, and become True Parents. This was the Parents' portion of responsibility, and only they could accomplish it.

Then, as the Parents, they were supposed to teach their children about this portion of responsibility. Since it was their portion, after they failed and the world as it is today emerged as a result, God was unable to teach this to anyone.

Had the words “portion of responsibility” not been disclosed by the Unification Principle, there would be no way to solve the fundamental issues of history.
(133-087, 1984.07.10) 

40. It is a serious problem if you do not know about the human portion of responsibility. We cannot understand the history of religion unless we know that we are undergoing a course of indemnity to turn history right side up, based on our responsibility.

Unless you understand this, you will not be able to resolve anything, even after you go to the spirit world. Indeed, you will have no way to resolve anything. 

You may think that the phrase “portion of responsibility” is simple, but it is momentous. It is historic good news for humankind. (133-100, 1984.07.10) 

41. The Unification Church principle that human beings have their portion of responsibility is a cosmic discovery. The discovery of this principle is incomparably greater than the invention of the atomic bomb or Einstein's discovery of the theory of relativity.

That is because without knowing this principle, nothing in history can be resolved. The relationship between God and human beings has been obscured throughout all history.

No historian or philosopher has been able to explain why righteous people were sacrificed and why their names were recognized only after their time had passed. (124-303, 1983.03.01)

42. If you could truthfully assert that you have accomplished your portion of responsibility, Satan's world could not appear before you. Yet, Satan's world appears before all of you, does it not?

Therein lies the problem. If I did not know about this portion of responsibility, which determines the providence of restoration and the state of the world today, there would be no possibility of returning to our homeland in glory or of reaching the realm of liberation.

Our challenge is to uncover the unresolved issues of the Old Testament Age and the New Testament Age and resolve them by fulfilling the human portion of responsibility. This has been the hope and desire of the New Testament Age and the Old Testament Age. 

Why do we need the Messiah?

The Messiah is the person at the apex of the realm of the portion of responsibility. Satan cannot invade if you become one with the Messiah. Satan's world has no basis to oppose the person who appears with the authority of Heaven on the foundation of having completed his portion of responsibility and with the authority of the lineage aligned with God's love.

Why, then, does the Messiah face opposition? It is because he strives to save the people in Satan's world; because he will not give up on people in Satan's world, even risking his life, even if Satan stirs up society to crucify him.

Those who do not fulfill their portion of responsibility are not entitled to enter heaven, no matter what. Even Adam and Eve, who were not of Satan's lineage, were dragged away by Satan because they did not fulfill their portion of responsibility. (139-245, 1986.01.31)

43. Without restoration through indemnity, the realm of Abel cannot be recovered. Unless the realm of Abel is recovered, there is no way for the Parents to come forth. Unless the Parents come forth, there is no way to recover the original ideal world envisioned by God.

Thus, everything depends on fulfilling our insertion of responsibility and our family's portion of responsibility. Then it depends on fulfilling our tribe's portion of responsibility, and the people's, nation's, and world's portions of responsibility. 

Failure to resolve all these problems has caused even the spirit world to split into heaven and hell. The reason even the spirit world, which is eternal, is split into heaven and hell is because the matter of the portion of responsibility remains unresolved. The people in hell belong to Satan.

They have no relationship whatsoever with God. So fulfilling the portion of responsibility and restoration through indemnity are necessary.
(133-100, 1984.07.10) 

44. How many times a day do you think about your portion of responsibility? You have to remember it and recite it over and over; when you are eating, holding a spoon, when you are washing the dishes, when you are in the restroom, and while you are walking.

Adam and Eve did not think about their portion of responsibility, and that is why they came to ruin. You, too, will go to ruin unless you fulfill your responsibility. We must not become people who, like Adam and Eve, fail to fulfill our portion of responsibility and fall.

To become people who can be restored and be victorious, we have to honor and bear in mind our portion of responsibility twenty-four hours a day.
(124-102, 1983.01.30)
