Q9) What is religion?
Why do humans need it?

A9) In the Western world, jonggyo (Korean word for religion) is referred to as religion. What does it mean? Jonggyo means “highest teaching.” Because it teaches people about the things seen in heaven, it is the teaching of God. The meaning of the word ‘religion’ is the teaching which reconnects the lifeline that was previously cut off. It is not teachings based on knowledge of the world but on the knowledge of heaven.

Why do humans need this teaching?

Whether a child behaves well or badly, what kind of parent would not wish for their child to receive a good education? The Creator is the Father of all creation and all creation are His children. What heaven wants to make known is not the things of this world, but the things of heaven and of God. 

The Bible contains content such as the history of belief in God, teachings, prophecy, and fulfillment. Religion teaches these things and, in particular, with regards to creation, prophecy, and fulfillment in the Bible, they are fulfilled according to what is seen in heaven. 
(Refer to the Lord's Prayer - Matt 6:10)

The reason people need this teaching, which is the teaching of heaven, is because religion educates people, who are captured by sin, with the things of heaven. This is so that people can come out from sin (devil), return to God (cross over from death to life), receive salvation, and live together with God in His kingdom of heaven.
