This week on the Cosmic Citizen we continue our study of Urantia Paper 8, The Infinite Spirit.

Relation of the Spirit to the Father and the Son. and who knows, maybe we'll get to Section 4. The Spirit of Divine Ministry.

But in and through all this material and spiritual creation there is a vast stage whereon the Infinite Spirit and his spirit offspring show forth the combined mercy, patience, and everlasting affection of the divine parents towards the intelligent children of their co-operative devising and making. Everlasting ministry to mind is the essence of the Spirit’s divine character. And all the spirit offspring of the Conjoint Actor partake of this desire to minister, this divine urge to service. God is love, the Son is mercy, the Spirit is ministry — the ministry of divine love and endless mercy to all intelligent creation.
