Salvation is the free gift of God, but those who are born of the spirit will immediately begin to show forth the fruits of the spirit in loving service to their fellow creatures. Fruits of the divine spirit... yielded in the lives of spirit-born and God-knowing mortals are: loving service, unselfish devotion, courageous loyalty, sincere fairness, enlightened honesty, undying hope, confiding trust, merciful ministry, unfailing goodness, forgiving tolerance, and enduring peace.
~ 193:2.2 The Urantia Book
It's crucial to set aside our ego to allow the teachings of the gospel of the kingdom to flourish. During Jesus' time, people didn't attribute everything He did to one person. This was intentional, as the Master understood that people are prone to venerate the teacher over the teachings. Despite His efforts, He didn't fully succeed in this regard.

“Why are you so slow to learn that the secret of greatness in the spiritual kingdom is not like the methods of power in the material world?”
Jesus, 179:3.8 (1939.6)
“The normal urges of animal beings and the natural appetites and impulses of the physical nature are not in conflict with even the highest spiritual attainment except in the minds of ignorant, mistaught, or unfortunately overconscientious persons.”

It is natural to want to share what we have discovered with others, since God has shared himself with us, and we deeply feel this truth. We are truly blessed to have received this gift of revelation
