Claim. Fallen people have virtually none of their original value; they recover it only by being reborn through Jesus as True Parent and engrafted to him as branches to a true vine, becoming children whose value equals Jesus’s.

Elaboration. Per dp-3-jesus-and-fallen-people, “A fallen person has nothing of the value of a true person who has completed the purpose-of-creation… he looks up to the angels, who were created to be his subordinates.” Original sin gives Satan a standing invasion-condition; fallen people cannot fathom God’s Will and Heart while Jesus experiences God’s Heart as daily reality.

Value-recovery comes via rebirth-through-Jesus: “If he were to be reborn spiritually and physically through Jesus, the True Parent, and become his good child cleansed of the original-sin, he would be restored as a true person who has perfected the purpose of creation, like Jesus Christ himself.” The parent-child relationship preserves vertical order — Jesus remains the head — but “their original values do not differ in the least.”

DP marshals four NT typologies for engrafting: head-and-body, temple (“Jesus is the main temple, and we are the branch temples”), vine-and-branches, and olive engrafting (17: “wild olive shoots… engrafted with Jesus, the true olive tree”). 2 promises “when he appears we shall be like him.” Jesus is the “first fruits”; we are the next at his return.

The atomic specifies the route by which Ch 7’s cosmic-value anthropology applies to fallen humanity: only through True-Parent rebirth can fallen people reclaim the standing the §1–§2 atomics describe.
