| “All Urantia is waiting for the proclamation of the ennobling message of Michael, unencumbered by the accumulated doctrines and dogmas of nineteen centuries of contact with the religions of evolutionary origin. The hour is striking for presenting to Buddhism, to Christianity, to Hinduism, even to the peoples of all faiths, not the gospel about Jesus, but the living, spiritual reality of the gospel of Jesus.” (94:12, 1041)
To the apostles and nearly forty believers: “The persistent preaching of this gospel of the kingdom will some day bring to all nations a new and unbelievable liberation, intellectual freedom, and religious liberty. . . . Remember that you are commissioned to preach this gospel of the kingdom–the supreme desire to do the Father’s will coupled with the supreme joy of the faith realization of sonship with God–and you must not allow anything to divert your devotion to this one duty. Let all mankind benefit from the overflow of your loving spiritual ministry, enlightening intellectual communion, and uplifting social service; but none of these humanitarian labors, nor all of them, should be permitted to take the place of proclaiming the gospel.” (178:1, 1930.6, 1931.2) To 25 women believers: “You also are called to publish the good news of the liberty of mankind through the gospel of sonship with God in the kingdom of heaven. Go to all the world proclaiming this gospel and confirming believers in the faith thereof. And while you do this, forget not to minister to the sick and strengthen those who are fainthearted and fear-ridden.” (190:3, 2033.1) To eighty believers in Alexandria: “You are all to proclaim this gospel of love and truth by the lives which you live in the flesh. (191:6, 2044.3) To about eighty Jerusalem believers: “You are to go forth preaching the love of God and the service of man. That which the world needs most to know is: Men are the sons of God, and through faith they can actually realize, and daily experience, this ennobling truth. (193:0, 2052.4) |
