"And if you are the sons of God, then have you been born of the spirit of God; and whosoever has been born of the spirit has in himself the power to overcome all doubt, and this is the victory that overcomes all uncertainty, even your faith." ~Jesus~ 142:5.3 | http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_142.html#142:5.3
It therefore is evident that the true and inner religion of the kingdom unfailingly and increasingly tends to manifest itself in practical avenues of social service. Jesus taught a living religion that impelled its believers to engage in the doing of loving service. But Jesus did not put ethics in the place of religion. He taught religion as a cause and ethics as a result. 170:3.8 http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_170.html#170:3.8
God is not only the determiner of destiny; he is man’s eternal destination. All nonreligious human activities seek to bend the universe to the distorting service of self; the truly religious individual seeks to identify the self with the universe and then to dedicate the activities of this unified self to the service of the universe family of fellow beings, human and superhuman.5:4.3 | http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_005.html#5:4.3
