He continued, "Jesus also gave up his whole body and wanted to do God's will. So today, we must not have blind faith, but we must know God and our wishes and have His will done." He added, "We must follow God's will and come out to our neighbors. "We must love together," he emphasized.

Lastly, he said, "The number of people learning about the Book of Revelation, which is God's purpose written in the Bible, is increasing. I am grateful," and added, "Let's ensure that more people are saved through the Word. Let's work together to create a better world."

Meanwhile, Shincheonji Church of Jesus has achieved continuous development without a single episode of negative growth since its founding, despite the atmosphere of global Christian stagnation.
