The realization of the True Parents came on the foundation of Jesus Christ, who commissioned the Rev. Moon to complete his unfinished work. Jesus works closely with the Rev. Moon. Our theology gives a deep appreciation of Jesus' suffering life and self-sacrifice. He is our elder brother, ancestor, and role model. Thus members of the Unification Church have a close personal relationship to Jesus, though perhaps not in the same terms as many traditional Christians do.
Salvation is defined as restoration to the prelapsarian state.
Restoration is to repair what has been broken due to the fall. That restores Adam and Eve's disobedience. This restores Cain's murder of Abel. The making of this foundation gives religious significance to all sorts of acts, secular as well as religious, where hatred is overcome through love. Salvation requires both God's grace and human effort.
