As Gucheon Daewon Johwa Jushin, Sangje supervised His reignover the Three Realms and descended to human form to the Gang family in 1871 after His Great Itineration of Heaven and Earth. To create a paradise in a world without conflict, Sangje reorganized Heaven and Earth, both of which have lost their ways of high morals, to perform His Reordering of Heaven and Earth from 1901 to 1909. Worshippers pledged to engrave the truth of resolving grievances for the mutual beneficence of all life and reciprocation of favors for the mutual beneficence of all life into their hearts to honor Sangje’s wishes through the three essential attitudes of sincerity, respectfulness, and faithfulness.
