1. God is a Personal Being and a Loving Father
“God is a transcendent reality, not merely man's traditional concept of supreme values. God is not a psychological focalization of spiritual meanings, neither is he ‘the noblest work of man.’ God may be any or all of these concepts in the minds of men, but he is more. He is a saving person and a loving Father to all who enjoy spiritual peace on earth, and who crave to experience personality survival in death.” 1:2.2
2. A Fragment of God Lives Within Each of Us
“There lives within every human mind a divine spirit, the gift of the Father in heaven. This good spirit ever strives to lead us to God, to help us to find God and to know God.” 133:3.7
“What a mistake to dream of God far off in the skies when the spirit of the Universal Father lives within your own mind!” 5:2.3
3. Human Life Has a Divine Purpose
“There is in the mind of God a plan which embraces every creature of all his vast domains, and this plan is an eternal purpose of boundless opportunity, unlimited progress, and endless life. And the infinite treasures of such a matchless career are yours for the striving!” 32:5.7
4. We Live in a Universe Filled with Trillions of Inhabitable Worlds
“Seven superuniverses make up the present organized grand universe, consisting of approximately seven trillion inhabitable worlds.” 15:2.9
“Your world, Urantia, is one of many similar inhabited planets which comprise the local universe of Nebadon.” 0:0.5
5. The Afterlife is Real
“Love of adventure, curiosity, and dread of monotony—these traits inherent in evolving human nature—were not put there just to aggravate and annoy you during your short sojourn on earth, but rather to suggest to you that death is only the beginning of an endless career of adventure, an everlasting life of anticipation, an eternal voyage of discovery.” 14:5.10
6. Science and Religion are Compatible
“The ideal human estate is that in which philosophy, religion, and science are welded into a meaningful unity by the conjoined action of wisdom, faith, and experience.” 98:2.12
“Science guided by wisdom, may become man's great social liberator.” 81:6.22
7. Jesus Reveals God
“Jesus is the spiritual lens in human likeness which makes visible to the material creature Him who is invisible. He is your elder brother who, in the flesh, makes known to you a Being of infinite attributes whom not even the celestial hosts can presume fully to understand.” 169:4.13
“He unifies life, ennobles character, and simplifies experience. He enters the human mind to elevate, transform, and transfigure it. It is literally true: ‘If any man has Christ Jesus within him, he is a new creature; old things are passing away; behold, all things are becoming new.’” 100:7.18
“Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it.” 196:1.3
