                                         HOW WOULD JESUS WALK THE DIVINE TALK ?

 

 

During sojourn on Urantia the man’s soul passes through a short and intense test during

its initial life of material existence.

On the mansion worlds and up the local system, constellation, and local universe of Nebadon, the man traverses the morontia phases of its ascension.

On the training of the superuniverse the man passes through true spirit stages of progression and prepares for eventual transit to central universe of Havona, where on its seven circuits, man as the experiential, intellectual and spiritual creature, continue to accomplish very definite tasks on each of these Havona’s spheres.

Life on the divine worlds of the central universe of Havona is so rich, complete and replete, that it wholly transcends the human concepts of anything that created being could possibly experience on the evolutionary worlds.

The social and economic activities of this eternal creation are entirely dissimilar to the

occupations of material creatures living on the evolutionary world like Urantia, that even

the technique of Havona thought is unlike to the process of thinking of Urantian’s.

 

                                                                 *****

 

The question, that remains for man to answer, is: “What is for the evolutionary man to do,

to “walk the cosmic talk”, and to be saved from the grasps of the material evolutionary mortal pseudo-reality? How can the man earn the eternal life and the way to the central

universe of Havona and Paradise, the abode of man’s creator-God the Father?”

 

                                                                   ***

 

The way of man’s salvation has been repeatedly revealed to man by the Father’s Sons,

and all down through the ages have these cosmic revelations saved faithful God’s children,

while judging the faithless in God.

 

By faith, 6,000 years ago, was the Abraham justified and made aware of salvation by the teachings of Melchizedek.

4,000 years ago Moses was given Ten Commandments to take to the faithless and materially oriented children of Israel, worshiping “golden calf” instead of Yahweh, their God.

Jesus, the Son of God and the son of man has, 2,000 years ago, made the salvation by faith more real and acceptable for man to understand. The Christ Michael of Nebadon has restated the need for men to seek their Creator, the one God of all and in all, and to follow the way to their Father through their faith and the unity of all men, planetary and cosmic.

 

In this age the planetary man is facing the same challenges, and needs to choose again between the worship of the “golden calf” of this faithless material and sensual world, while drowning further in his ignorance and the lack of will to know the God the Father, or to

follow in His Son’s footsteps, find his God and earn the fruits of the eternal life.

 

So, to answer the above question, in order to be saved, the evolutionary Urantia man needs to follow the teachings of God’s Sons. The Christ Michael of Nebadon, the Son of God and the Creator Son of this local universe, incarnated in Jesus two thousand years ago as the

son of man, has stated :

 

“When men and women ask what they should do to be saved, they first need to know

that they need to believe in the gospel of Father’s kingdom (in God as Creator of universe, and the universe laws, which govern also the evolutionary planets and its creatures).

 

The faith in God is the only way for man to receive Father’s divine forgiveness (of sins).

By faith will the man recognize the indwelling spirit of God, whose acceptance will make

the man become the son of God. This was stated well in the scriptures:

 

‘My soul shall be joyful in the love of my God, for He has clothed me with the garments

of salvation and has covered me with the robe of His righteousness.’

‘Take away the filthy rags of self-righteousness and clothe my son with the robe of

divine righteousness and eternal salvation.’

 

It is forever true that ‘the JUST (man) shall LIVE BY FAITH’.

Man’s salvation (spiritual self-elevation) is Father’s gift to man.

The man’s entrance into the Father’s kingdom of heaven is wholly free, but the man’s

growth and progress in God’s grace is dependent upon man’s continuance therein.

 

Acceptance by faith on man’s part makes the man the partaker of God’s divine nature,

a son or daughter of God, and by this same faith will the man be eternally advanced in

the way of God’s progressive and divine perfection.

 

You cannot buy salvation, nor you can earn righteousness.

Salvation is the gift of God to man, and righteousness is the natural grown fruit of the

spirit-born sons of God, ascending in the kingdom of heaven.

 

The man will not be saved because he lives a righteous life; rather it is that the man

lives righteous life because his soul is being saved, while recognizing his sonship with God and the gift of eternal life given to man by the spirit of God.

Righteous man feels supreme delight having faith in the kingdom of heaven, while serving his divine purpose (dharma, man’s life pattern or “duty” blueprint) while sojourning on earth.

 

When the man begins to believe in the gospel of heaven, which is the revelation of the

goodness of God, then will the man voluntarily surrender and repent of all of his known sins.

Man’s realization of his sonship with Father is incompatible with his desire to sin anymore,

because kingdom believers hunger for righteousness and thirst for divine perfection.”

 

                                                                 *****

 

And so it always was, is, and will be- “BY FAITH THE MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND ONLY BY FAITH WILL HIS SOUL BE SAVED TO THE ETERNAL KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
