Claim. Families inherit the Kingdom of Heaven by expanding practiced family love to all humanity.
Elaboration. SMM calls the family “the smallest unit within the training center” and “a textbook for entering the Kingdom of Heaven” (CSG 4.3 §3, 143-285, 1986.3.20). Its levels expand outward into grandmothers and grandfathers, mothers and fathers, peers, spouses, sons, and daughters across humanity. Only families that love all human beings as their own family members “can inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.” The section explicitly joins the two great commandments: if one loves God and humanity, “everything will be accomplished.” Religious discipline fails if it cannot produce this love. The family is therefore not a private refuge from mission; it is the official training ground for loving the world.
