- John 15:4-5 4. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
- Revelation 22:12 12. “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
Even if a true persimmon tree is grafted into a date plum tree, it cannot give up the ‘deep-rooted nature, that is, the roots.’ When grafting a true persimmon tree to a date plum tree, the date plum tree is cut off but the roots are left intact. Then a ‘triangular wedge’ is cut out from the area that the true persimmon tree will be grafted into, and the true persimmon tree is cut to fit that wedge perfectly, and then it is grafted. Therefore, even if a true persimmon tree is grafted into a date plum tree, the ‘deep-rooted nature, that is, the roots,’ is still there.
The DEEP-ROOTED NATURE is the ‘deep-rooted tendencies that come from the bodies because human beings have bodies.’ Therefore, as long as we have ‘bodies’, the ‘deep-rooted nature’ remains even if we become united with the Holy Son. Each person has ‘good deep-rooted nature’ and/or ‘bad deep-rooted nature.’
BAD DEEP-ROOTED NATURE ultimately surge up even if you have become united with the Holy Son. They are things like, ‘anger, disposition of being impulsive, rage, profanity, words blurted out without control, stubbornness, and fundamental character.’ Even if you have become united with the Holy Son, GOOD DEEP-ROOTED NATURE also surges up.
They are ‘disposition to do things tenaciously, disposition to do things with dogged perseverance, good heart, pure heart, tenacity, loyalty, and disposition to do things whether you are given recognition or not,’ and so on. As for people who used to possess POSITIVE DEEP-ROOTED NATURE, when they become united with the Holy Son, they will do things even more positively with that positive deep-rooted nature. However, for people who used to possess BAD DEEP-ROOTED NATURE, anger comes out, disposition of being impulsive comes out, rage comes out, they speak recklessly, and are stubborn even if they become united with the Holy Son and the Lord. In this way, their ‘bad deep-rooted nature’ will keeps coming out.
DEEP-ROOTED NATURE is the ‘root of your heart and thoughts that lie in your brain.’ This DEEP-ROOTED NATURE is sometimes inherited from your parents through your genes, and sometimes are generated in the course of living your life. The deep-rooted nature of a date plum trees is the fact that ‘it has abundant roots.’ In accordance with that deep-rooted nature, the ROOTS OF THE DATE PLUM TREE absorb ‘water and fertilizer’ well. That is why even the grafted persimmon tree, ‘being affected by the influences of the date plum tree roots,’ absorbs nutrients well and so the true persimmon tree also grows well with thick foliage. People too. If they have GOOD DEEP-ROOTED NATURE, then according to that deep-rooted nature, their bodies, souls, and spirits all grow positively and well. As a result of that, both the ‘Holy Son’ who are like the true persimmon trees, also receive the good influence and fulfill the ‘abundant Will’ through those people.
If DEEP-ROOTED NATURES collide with each other, even between ‘spouses,’ ‘lovers,’ ‘friends,’ ‘siblings,’ and ‘superiors and subordinates,’ BIG WARS, or SMALL WARS will break out. NATIONS have ‘deep-rooted natures’ too. When DEEP-ROOTED NATURES OF NATIONS collide, ‘battles and cold-wars’ will break out and eventually, even ‘wars’ will break out.
Knowing this, if the DEEP-ROOTED NATURE surge up from one side, the other side must treat the other with DIVINE NATURE. If DEEP-ROOTED NATURE, which is like ‘bone,’ surges up from one side, the other side must treat it with DIVINE NATURE, which is like ‘flesh.’ It is to ‘treat people gently with love.’
When the ‘roots,’ which are the DEEP-ROOTED NATURE OF THE DATE PLUM TREE, are grafted with the ‘tree,’ which is the DIVINE NATURE OF THE TRUE PERSIMMON TREE, they become a match made in heaven and ultimately produce ‘true persimmon fruit.’ DEEP-ROOTED NATURE must become united with DIVINE NATURE. DEEP-ROOTED NATURE OF HUMAN BEINGS is an ‘extreme.’ Therefore, DEEP-ROOTED NATURES colliding with each other is like ‘extremes’ colliding with each other. When DEEP-ROOTED NATURE surges up, you will treat others without understanding of their *shimjeong. If you do not know the other person’s shimjeong, you will speak according to your deep-rooted nature and so your ‘words’ will become ‘whips’ and hit the other person. As a result, the other person will hear those words and get hurt. Even if people married out of love for each other, in the course of living together happily, they sometimes fight and even divorce. This happens because their DEEP-ROOTED NATURES collided with each other; so they got hurt, got upset, and were so tormented that they reached a point of being unable to live with each other. (*shimjeong-“in one’s heart of hearts” means “in one’s private thoughts and feelings; deep within one)
GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE HOLY SON are the ‘trees,’ and the LIVES ON EARTH are the ‘roots.’ Just as a tree and roots become one by being grafted, the ‘Trinity’ and ‘we’ must become united by being grafted. Living this way is the WILL OF GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE HOLY SON. Homosexual love and love between relatives are ILLEGAL and SIN in God’s point view. They are not the WILL. In this world too. People cannot marry members of their own family, right? ANGELS are beings that are born in Heaven as ‘spirits.’ So they are ‘like children to God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son.’ They are ‘trees’ that are the same nature as the Trinity. You cannot graft a tree into another tree. Therefore, the angels in Heaven, who are ‘like children,’ cannot be taken as ‘counterparts of love.’ That is why He created HUMAN BEINGS that He will take as the ‘counterparts of love’ and love forever, and created the EARTH for the human beings.
Even if you are by yourself, if the ‘deep-rooted nature’ shows up in your everyday life, you will keep sinning and giving up on yourself. The Holy Son said, “if you fail to fix your ‘bad deep-rooted nature,’ you cannot do according to My, the Holy Son’s Will. After hearing today’s message, I hope all people, obey the Will of Me, the Holy Son, and fix the ‘deep-rooted nature’ into something good. Live according to My Will and live united with Me.” I bless everyone to listen to the Word and live ‘according to the Almighty’s Will.’
