The Holy Spirit
Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” (John 20:21-22)
By what means can we unite Christianity throughout the world? By the Holy Spirit—hence the name “Holy Spirit Association.” Not by fists or bayonets, but by the Holy Spirit. We cannot unite by human power, but by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity
May 1, 1981
Without receiving the Holy Spirit, we cannot understand or receive salvation. Why should we need the Holy Spirit to come upon us? The Holy Spirit moves our mind to a relationship with Christ and eventually God, but why specifically do we need the Holy Spirit? What steps should take place as she helps to bring us to heaven and God? The first thing the Holy Spirit helps us to do is repent.
The Age of Repentance
September 1, 1978
The Holy Spirit is in charge of obtaining pardon from heaven for our sinfulness. This is because humankind does not have a direct relationship with either God or Jesus, who are in heaven. Therefore, we need to receive the cooperation of the Holy Spirit who is working on the earth. The way to redemption has been opened because of the crucifixion of Jesus, but the one who actually toils to take charge of our sins is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit stands in the position of a mediator for our sake, representing us miserable sinners.
What kinds of ordeals is the Holy Spirit going through? The exertion of Jesus, who passed away on the cross while responsible for our sins, and the ordeals of the Holy Spirit, crying with us when we cry and are hung on the cross, are very much with us.
Even today, Jesus is undergoing the crisis of crucifixion for your sake. You should understand this clearly. When the toils of Jesus and the exertion of the Holy Spirit are joined as one with us in the center, and we reach the standard that God requires, then all the sins that we have committed on the earth will be redeemed….
Consequently, when we face evil and go forward, we should recognize that because of our sins, the Holy Spirit has labored on the earth on our behalf, and Jesus died on the cross on our behalf. Wherever we go, we should realize that we are sinners who cannot be unshackled from the grievances of heaven. Therefore, by offering all of our minds and bodies to take the burden of heaven’s toil, we should rely on the Holy Spirit and assist Jesus in his work.
Why Did Jesus Become the Lamb Who Bore All the Sins of This World?
July 11, 1956
When Jesus came, the male element or essence was given to him as the male Word of God. But there was no woman on earth to whom the female element could be given. So when Jesus was working in spirit after his crucifixion, this female element of God worked with him as the Holy Spirit.
On Prayer and the Spirit World
March and April 1965
We study about the Holy Trinity—God, the Holy Son, and Holy Ghost. What exactly does that mean? We say God, Holy Son, and Holy Ghost, but there is something lacking—the Holy Christian, making the family. So the Holy Ghost must be the spouse to the Holy Son, and with those two united in divine love, multiplication can come about, giving birth to children in the Holy Family.
