THE FATHER’S WILL IN MAN: ITS UPRIGHT ORDER AND ITS UPSIDE-DOWN ORDER — 10TH MESSAGE.....(SUN PM 7/5/98)

(International Summer Convention) In our upright will of satisfaction, our first desire is for the LORD’s Name, and our second desire is for God’s Word. When our will is turned upside-down, we desire for our own name to be exalted and honoured in this world, and we desire for our own words to be heard. First John 2:15-17 tells us to love not the world.

There are two sides to the Message. On the spiritual education side of the Scales, we learn theoretical Truth concerning the Stature of the Son of God. Theoretical Truth builds Stature in us. However, others cannot see what is inside us unless we move over to the moral development side of the Scales and let the Father direct us, through Jesus Christ, to produce visible works that people can see. In order for us to be in the Bride, the stature of our righteous deeds or works in our moral development must match the stature of theoretical Truth that we gained in our spiritual education.
