The first act of Jesus on arising from the tomb was to greet Gabriel and instruct him to continue in executive charge of universe affairs under Immanuel, and then he directed the chief of the Melchizedeks to convey his brotherly greetings to Immanuel. He thereupon asked the Most High of Edentia for the certification of the Ancients of Days as to his mortal transit; and turning to the assembled morontia groups of the seven mansion worlds, here gathered together to greet and welcome their Creator as a creature of their order, Jesus spoke the first words of the postmortal career. Said the morontia Jesus: “Having finished my life in the flesh, I would tarry here for a short time in transition form that I may more fully know the life of my ascendant creatures and further reveal the will of my Father in Paradise.”
189:1.11 (2022.2) After Jesus had spoken, he signaled to the Personalized Adjuster, and all universe intelligences who had been assembled on Urantia to witness the resurrection were immediately dispatched to their respective universe assignments.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ

have you ever asked yourself how paradise look like?

Human beings are the lowest level of freewill creatures in the universe.
We are all born as children of the Paradise Father. Yet, to be resurrected, we must exercise faith and trust in our Heavenly Father.
After resurrection, we start our new life where we left off on earth.
When we awaken from the sleep of survival, we will recognize our family, friends, and acquaintances, and they will recognize us.
After checking in on the mansion worlds, our first ten days are spent on vacation. During this time, we can visit family and friends who have gone before us, explore our new home, and look over plans for the immediate future.
After we die, we are not permitted to communicate with anyone still living on earth. The spirits of the dead don't come back. There are no ghosts.
Men and women always retain their gender characteristics. Even after we have journeyed to Paradise and are full spirit beings, opposite genders will continue to fascinate and comfort one another.
On most of the heavenly worlds there are enormous circular crystal receiving stations. One of these stations was described by John in the Bible as "the sea of glass." Some measure nearly one hundred miles in circumference and thirty miles in depth. These crystals function as receiving and broadcasting stations and as landing fields. We will spend many hours around these seas of glass, listening to news, attending cultural perfomances, and worshiping the Paradise Father.
The experience of loving and serving others increases as we progress toward Paradise. The universe is dominated by love. "The more one loves, the nearer he approaches God, for God is the spirit of infinite love." ~ R. W. Trive
On the heavenly worlds we interact with resurrected mortals from many different planets. Even though all of us had different intellectual, spiritual, physical, and racial backgrounds, as former humans we shared these common features: we all stood erect, we were either male or female, we had two arms and two legs, we possessed the freewill to either accept or reject God, and we all had the opportunity for resurrection after death.
On older, more evolved worlds, the departure of a loved one is not generally met with great sorrow or grief. Death is seen as a passage or a graduation, anticipated with happy expectations of the worlds ahead.
A child who dies before having the opportunity to make a freewill faith decision to accept God will be resurrected when either parent is resurrected.
Days are much longer as we get closer to Paradise. One day of mansion world time is equal to about three earth days. One day of local universe time is equal to about eighteen earth days. One day of superuniverse time is equal to thirty earth days. One day on Paradise is equal to almost one thousand earth years.
The universe is a big school. We spend a great amount of time in education programs. When we are not working in service missions or playing, we are in training. As we progress from earth to Paradise, specialized techniques are used to communicate knowledge. One hour of training on Paradise equals ten thousand years of memory methods on earth.
Our earthly material bodies have five physical senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Our morontia bodies have the potential of seventy senses.

If they had faith in God to do the things that He required of them, Jesus promised them that nothing will be impossible to you. God does not desire that we prove anything to Him. God desires that we trust Him. He is interested in our relationship with Him that is based on love and trust.

BE A PEACEMAKER.

It is so easy to get worked up about things; people who wrong us, family drama, church drama, etc. But resolve to be the one who brings peace. Don’t spread the rumors, don’t listen to the stories, don’t join the clique. Be the one who initiates peace and unity.

Urantia Book describes an endless destiny for humankind, teaching that living faith is the key to personal spiritual progress and eternal survival.

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

So then, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless.1 Corinthians 15:57-58

For the poor in spirit, “theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Those who mourn “shall be comforted.” The gentle “shall inherit the earth.” Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness “shall be satisfied.” The merciful “shall receive mercy.” The pure in heart “shall see God.” The peacemakers “shall be called sons of God.” ...

How to Know God Personally

What does it take to begin a relationship with God?
Home How to Know God Personally
Should you devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that God will accept you?

You may be surprised that none of those things will work. But God has made it very clear in the Bible how we can know Him.

The following principles will explain how you can personally begin a relationship with God, right now, through Jesus Christ…

Principle 1:
God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
God’s Love
“God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” 1

God’s Plan
[Christ speaking] “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly” [that it might be full and meaningful]. 2

Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life? Because…
Principle 2:
All of us sin and our sin has separated us from God.
We Are Sinful
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 3

We were created to have fellowship with God; but, because of our stubborn self-will, we chose to go our own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.

We Are Separated
“The wages of sin is death” [spiritual separation from God]. 4

This diagram illustrates that God is holy and people are sinful. A great gulf separates us. The arrows illustrate that we are continually trying to reach God and the abundant life through our own efforts, such as a good life, philosophy, or religion — but we inevitably fail.

The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf…
Principle 3:
Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for our sin. Through Him we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our life.
He Died in Our Place
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” 5

He Rose From the Dead
“Christ died for our sins…He was buried…He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures…He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred…” 6

He Is the Only Way to God
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.'” 7

This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf which separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.

It is not enough just to know these three principles…
Principle 4:
We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives.
We Must Receive Christ
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.” 8

We Receive Christ Through Faith
“By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.” 9

When We Receive Christ, We Experience a New Birth

We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
[Christ speaking] “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him.” 10

Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for your sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. You receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.

These two circles represent two kinds of lives:

Which circle best describes your life?

Which circle would you like to have represent your life?

The following explains how you can receive Christ:
You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer
Prayer is talking to God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”

If this prayer expresses the desire of your heart, then you can pray this prayer right now and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.

Does this prayer express the desire of your heart?
If yes, pray now and according to his promise, Jesus Christ will come into your l
