195:10.5 (2084.5) In winning souls for the Master, it is not the first mile of
compulsion, duty, or convention that will transform man and his world, but
rather the second mile of free service and liberty-loving devotion that
betokens the Jesusonian reaching forth to grasp his brother in love and
sweep him on under spiritual guidance toward the higher and divine goal of
mortal existence. Christianity even now willingly goes the first mile, but
mankind languishes and stumbles along in moral darkness because there are
so few genuine second-milersso few professed followers of Jesus who
really live and love as he taught his disciples to live and love and serve.

193:0.3 (2052.3) “And now you should give ear to my words lest you again
make the mistake of hearing my teaching with the mind while in your hearts
you fail to comprehend the meaning. From the beginning of my sojourn as
one of you, I taught you that my one purpose was to reveal my Father in
heaven to his children on earth. I have lived the God-revealing bestowal
that you might experience the God-knowing career. I have revealed God as
your Father in heaven; I have revealed you as the sons of God on earth. It is
a fact that God loves you, his sons. By faith in my word this fact becomes
an eternal and living truth in your hearts. When, by living faith, you become
divinely God-conscious, you are then born of the spirit as children of light
and life, even the eternal life wherewith you shall ascend the universe of
universes and attain the experience of finding God the Father on Paradise.

162:7.2 (1796.4) “If my words abide in you and you are minded to do the will
of my Father, then are you truly my disciples. You shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free. I know how you will answer me: We are the
children of Abraham, and we are in bondage to none; how then shall we be
made free? Even so, I do not speak of outward subjection to another’s rule;
I refer to the liberties of the soul. Verily, verily, I say to you, everyone who
commits sin is the bond servant of sin. And you know that the bond servant
is not likely to abide forever in the master’s house. You also know that the
son does remain in his father’s house. If, therefore, the Son shall make you
free, shall make you sons, you shall be free indeed.
