Long Distance View
There are cities “whose builder and maker is God.” In spirit counterpart we have all that you mortals are familiar with and inexpressibly more. We have homes, spirit comforts, and morontia necessities. For every material satisfaction which humans are capable of enjoying, we have thousands of spiritual realities that serve to enrich and enlarge our existence.
Nothing More Enthralling
"There is no adventure in the course of mortal existence more enthralling than to enjoy the exhilaration of becoming the material life partner with spiritual energy and divine truth..." Jesus, 130:2.4
The greatest of human knowledge
Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it. 196:1.3
Socialization of Religion
There is a real purpose in the socialization of religion. It is the purpose of group religious activities to dramatize the loyalties of religion; to magnify the lures of truth, beauty, and goodness; to foster the attractions of supreme values; to enhance the service of unselfish fellowship; to glorify the potentials of family life... 99:6.2
A mind of perfect poise
"It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function — when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development — that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being." 110:6.4
Spiritual Destiny
"Spiritual destiny is dependent on faith, love, and devotion to truth — hunger and thirst for righteousness — the wholehearted desire to find God and to be like him." 156:5.7
The Maturing Person
"The evidence of maturity of personality consists in the transformation of human desire so that it constantly seeks...those values which are highest and most divinely real." 160:1.13
Where God Leads
"The goodness of God leads to repentance; the beneficence of God leads to service; the mercy of God leads to salvation; while the love of God leads to intelligent and freehearted worship." ~Jesus~ 149:6.4
Tuning In The Soul
As prayer may be likened to recharging the spiritual batteries of the soul, so worship may be compared to the act of tuning in the soul to catch the universe broadcasts of the infinite spirit of the Universal Father. 144:4.8
A Dominant Faith
"...believe with a whole heart; your faith shall dominate the combined attitudes of body, mind, and spirit." ~Jesus~ 155:6.17
