Urantia Paper 8—The Infinite Spirit—Part 4: §4. The Spirit of Divine Ministry

The Cosmic Citizen

This week on the Cosmic Citizen we continue our study of Urantia Paper 8, The Infinite Spirit. This paper explores the origin, nature, and attributes of the Infinite Spirit, the Third Person of Deity and the Conjoint Creator of all things. We will be covering Section 4. The Spirit of Divine Ministry and, who knows, maybe we'll get to Section 5. The Presence of God. 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. The Spirit is the personification of the Father’s love and the Son’s mercy; in him are they eternally united for universal service. The Spirit is love applied to the creature creation, the combined love of the Father and the Son. 8:4.1–2 (94.3–4) When a Creator Son of God accepts the creatorship charge of responsibility for a projected local universe, the personalities of the Infinite Spirit pledge themselves as the tireless ministers of this Michael Son ...all this work of creature ministry is done in perfect harmony with the purposes, and in close association with the personalities, of the Creator Sons of these local universes. 8:4.4 (94.6) As man learns more of the loving and tireless ministry of the lower orders of the creature family of this Infinite Spirit, he will all the more admire and adore the transcendent nature and matchless character of this combined Action of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son. Indeed is this Spirit “the eyes of the Lord which are ever over the righteous” and “the divine ears which are ever open to their prayers.” 8:4.8 (95.3) Join us for this Third Person study! http://tobtr.com/12309347
