Stand Forth in Righteousness

Thou fellows of Michael Of Nebadon Worldwide City...

And even you who fail now to comprehend what I have been saying .. I shall maketh all things new for thee only as you give yourselves completely in loving dedication and wholehearted faith to the Father's Adjuster Life in you.

Have I not all this time taught you that your connection with the kingdom is spiritual and individual, wholly a matter of personal experience in the spirit by the faith-realization that you are a son of God? 

What more shall I say? The downfall of nations, the manifestation of pandemics, the crash of empires, the destruction of the unbelieving ones, the end of an age, even the end of the world, what have these things to do with one who believes this gospel, and who has hid his life in the surety of the eternal kingdom? 

You who are God-knowing and gospel-believing have already received the assurances of eternal life. 

Since your lives have been lived in the spirit and for the Father, nothing can be of serious concern to you. 

Kingdom builders, the accredited citizens of the heavenly worlds, are not to be disturbed by temporal upheavals or perturbed by terrestrial cataclysms. 

What does it matter to you who believe this gospel of the kingdom if nations overturn, the age ends, or all things visible crash, since you know that your life is the gift of the Son, and that it is eternally secure in the Father? 

Having lived the temporal life by faith and having yielded the fruits of the spirit as the righteousness of loving service for your fellows, you can confidently look forward to the next step in the eternal career with the same survival faith that has carried you through your first and earthly adventure in sonship with God.

Each generation of believers should carry on their work, in view of the return of the Son of Man at this time of the 21st century, exactly as each individual believer carries forward his lifework in view of inevitable and ever-impending natural death. 

When you have by faith once established yourself as a son of God .. a daughter of God, nothing else matters as regards the surety of survival. 

But make no mistake! this survival faith is a living faith, and it increasingly manifests the fruits of that divine spirit which first inspired it in the human heart. That you have once accepted sonship and daughtership in the heavenly kingdom will not save you in the face of the knowing and persistent rejection of those truths which have to do with the progressive spiritual fruit-bearing of the sons of God in the flesh. 

You who have been with me in the Father’s business on earth at this more midern time can even now desert the kingdom if you find that you love not the way of the Father’s service for humankind.

I sayeth .. continue to see and to penetrate thyselves. Stand forth in righteousness. Aruse in your character growth. Stir thyselves in consciousness. The Kingdom of Love and Reality hath a grace and generosity for all, yet she and he who give themselves to its demands for purity and truth .. they shall stand equipped to receive of the Father and I.

The Celestial Revelatory Corps

The enlightened worlds all recognize and worship the Universal Father, the eternal maker and infinite upholder of all creation. The will creatures of universe upon universe have embarked upon the long, long Paradise journey, the fascinating struggle of the eternal adventure of attaining God the Father. 

The transcendent goal of the children of time is to find the eternal God, to comprehend the divine nature, to recognize the Universal Father. God-knowing creatures have only one supreme ambition, just one consuming desire, and that is to become, as they are in their spheres, like him as he is in his Paradise perfection of personality and in his universal sphere of righteous supremacy. 

From the Universal Father who inhabits eternity there has gone forth the supreme mandate, “Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.” 

In love and mercy the messengers of Paradise have carried this divine exhortation down through the ages and out through the universes, even to such lowly animal-origin creatures as the human races of Urantia.

This magnificent and universal injunction to strive for the attainment of the perfection of divinity is the first duty, and should be the highest ambition, of all the struggling creature creation of the God of perfection. 

This possibility of the attainment of divine perfection is the final and certain destiny of all man’s eternal spiritual progress.

Urantia mortals can hardly hope to be perfect in the infinite sense, but it is entirely possible for human beings, starting out as they do on this planet, to attain the supernal and divine goal which the infinite God has set for mortal man; and when they do achieve this destiny, they will, in all that pertains to self-realization and mind attainment, be just as replete in their sphere of divine perfection as God himself is in his sphere of infinity and eternity. 

Such perfection may not be universal in the material sense, unlimited in intellectual grasp, or final in spiritual experience, but it is final and complete in all finite aspects of divinity of will, perfection of personality motivation, and God-consciousness.

This is the true meaning of that divine command, “Be you perfect, even as I am perfect,” which ever urges mortal man onward and beckons him inward in that long and fascinating struggle for the attainment of higher and higher levels of spiritual values and true universe meanings. 

This sublime search for the God of universes is the supreme adventure of the inhabitants of all the worlds of time and space.
