To the inhabited worlds the quickeners of morality portray mortal life as an unbroken chain of many links. Your short sojourn on Urantia, on this sphere of mortal infancy, is only a single link, the very first in the long chain that is to stretch across universes and through the eternal ages. It is not so much what you learn in this first life; it is the experience of living this life that is important. Even the work of this world, paramount though it is, is not nearly so important as the way in which you do this work. There is no material reward for righteous living, but there is profound satisfaction -- consciousness of achievement -- and this transcends any conceivable material reward.39:4.13 https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_039.html#39:4.13
