      117:4.14 God's gifts -- his bestowal of reality -- are not divorcements from himself; he does not alienate creation from himself, but he has set up tensions in the creations circling Paradise. God first loves man and confers upon him the potential of immortality -- eternal reality. And as man loves God, so does man become eternal in actuality. And here is mystery: The more closely man approaches God through love, the greater the reality -- actuality -- of that man. The more man withdraws from God, the more nearly he approaches nonreality -- cessation of existence. When man consecrates his will to the doing of the Father's will, when man gives God all that he has, then does God make that man more than he is.

        What You're Becoming
        "Your actual achievement is not so important as the fact that the direction of your progress is Godward. What you are becoming day by day is of infinitely more importance than what you are today." Jesus, 147:5.7 | https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_147.html#147:5.7

          How Does Jesus Affect You?
          Devoted men and women loved Jesus with a well-nigh superhuman affection. And the better they knew him the more they loved him. And all this is still true; even today and in all future ages, the more man comes to know this God-man, the more he will love and follow after him. 149:2.14 | https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_149.html#149:2.14

                One notable quote from the Urantia Book I like about faith is:

                "Faith is the foundation of all real knowledge; it is the cornerstone of all true wisdom."
                It emphasizes the importance of faith in understanding and wisdom.

                Thanks for sharing.

                How did Jesus act?
                There was so little of the professional, the well-planned, or the premeditated in the Master's earthly ministry. He dispensed health and scattered happiness naturally and gracefully as he journeyed through life. It was literally true, "He went about doing good." 171:7.9 | https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_171.html#171:7.9

                  Universe Frames for thought
                  Conceptual frames of the universe are only relatively true; they are serviceable scaffolding which must eventually give way before the expansions of enlarging cosmic comprehension. The understandings of truth, beauty, and goodness, morality, ethics, duty, love, divinity, origin, existence, purpose, destiny, time, space, even Deity, are only relatively true. God is much, much more than a Father, but the Father is man’s highest concept of God; 111:4.3 | https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_115.html#115:1.2
