Why do humans need this teaching?

Whether the child is good or bad, what kind of parents would not wish for their child to receive a good education? The Creator is the Father of all creation and all creation, which has been created, is his children.

What heaven wants to make known is not the things of this world but the things of heaven and the things of God.

The Bible contains contents such as the history of believing in God, teachings, prophecy and fulfillment. Religion teaches these things, and in particular, with regards to creation, prophecy and fulfillment, they are fulfilled according to what is seen in heaven.

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 people could come out from sin (devil), return to God (cross over from death to life), receive salvation and live together with God in his kingdom, heaven.
