THE FAITH OF JESUS POINTED THE WAY OF FINALITY OF HUMAN SALVATION

(101:6.8)
The teachings of Jesus constituted the first Urantian religion which so fully embraced a harmonious co-ordination of knowledge, wisdom,
faith,
truth,
and love
as completely and simultaneously to provide temporal tranquillity, intellectual certainty,
moral enlightenment, philosophic stability,
ethical sensitivity, God-consciousness,
and the positive assurance of personal survival.

The faith of Jesus pointed the way to finality of human salvation, to the ultimate of mortal universe attainment, since it provided for:

1. Salvation from material fetters in the personal realization of sonship with God, who is spirit.

2. Salvation from intellectual bondage: man shall know the truth, and the truth shall set him free.

3. Salvation from spiritual blindness, the human realization of the fraternity of mortal beings and the morontian awareness of the brotherhood of all universe creatures; the service-discovery of spiritual reality and the ministry-revelation of the goodness of spirit values.

4. Salvation from incompleteness of self through the attainment of the spirit levels of the universe and through the eventual realization of the harmony of Havona and the perfection of Paradise.

5. Salvation from self, deliverance from the limitations of self-consciousness through the attainment of the cosmic levels of the Supreme mind and by co-ordination with the attainments of all other self-conscious beings.

6. Salvation from time, the achievement of an eternal life of unending progression in God-recognition and God-service.

7. Salvation from the finite, the perfected oneness with Deity in and through the Supreme by which the creature attempts the transcendental discovery of the Ultimate on the postfinaliter levels of the absonite.

(101:6.16)
Such a sevenfold salvation is the equivalent of the completeness and perfection of the realization of the ultimate experience of the Universal Father.

And all this, in potential, is contained within the reality of the faith of the human experience of religion.

And it can be so contained since the faith of Jesus was nourished by, and was revelatory of, even realities beyond the ultimate;

the faith of Jesus approached the status of a universe absolute in so far as such is possible of manifestation in the evolving cosmos of time and space.

(101:6.17)
Through the appropriation of the faith of Jesus, mortal man can foretaste in time the realities of eternity.

Jesus made the discovery, in human experience, of the Final Father, and his brothers in the flesh of mortal life can follow him along this same experience of Father discovery.

They can even attain, as they are, the same satisfaction in this experience with the Father as did Jesus as he was.

THE RELIGION OF JESUS

In the Master’s life on Urantia, this and all other worlds of the local creation discover a new and higher type of religion,

religion based on personal spiritual relations with the Universal Father and wholly validated by the supreme authority of genuine personal experience.

This living faith of Jesus was more than an intellectual reflection, and it was not a mystic meditation.
~TUB, (196:0.4)

The religion of Jesus is the most dynamic influence ever to activate the human race.

Jesus shattered tradition, destroyed dogma,
and called mankind to the achievement of its highest ideals in time and eternity—to be perfect, even as the Father in heaven is perfect. ~ TUB, (99:5.3)

Said Jesus:

"We ... begin the bold proclamation of a new religion—a religion which is not a religion in the present-day meaning of that word,

a religion that makes its chief appeal to the divine spirit of my Father which resides in the mind of man;

a religion which shall derive its authority from the fruits of its acceptance that will so certainly appear in the personal experience of all who really and truly become believers in the truths of this higher spiritual communion."

~ TUB, (155:5.12)

The religion of Jesus does not seek to escape this life in order to enjoy the waiting bliss of another existence.

The religion of Jesus provides the joy and peace of another and spiritual existence to enhance and ennoble the life which men now live in the flesh.
~ TUB, (194:3.3)

In religion, Jesus advocated and followed the method of experience, even as modern science pursues the technique of experiment.

We find God through the leadings of spiritual insight,

but we approach this insight of the soul through the love of the beautiful, the pursuit of truth, loyalty to duty, and the worship of divine goodness.

But of all these values, love is the true guide to real insight.
~ TUB, (195:5.14)

The three apostles were shocked this afternoon when they realized that their Master’s religion made no provision for spiritual self-examination.

All religions before and after the times of Jesus, even Christianity, carefully provide for conscientious self-examination.

But not so with the religion of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus’ philosophy of life is without religious introspection.

The carpenter’s son never taught character building;

he taught character growth, declaring that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.

But Jesus said nothing which would prescribe self-analysis as a prevention of conceited egotism.

~ TUB, (140:8.27)

This new religion of Jesus was not without its practical implications, but whatever of practical political, social, or economic value there is to be found in his teaching is the natural outworking of this inner experience of the soul as it manifests the fruits of the spirit in the spontaneous daily ministry of genuine personal religious experience.

~ TUB, (140:10.6)
