Far from the Old Testament God of old, before whom mankind, even to this day cowers in fear, the revelation of the Universal Father in The Urantia Book shows us the eternal truth of a God so large and embracing and good that there is no room in his nature for negative thought or intention; no thoughts of vengeance or retribution. Far from a niggling dread that his Divine will may be something we need fear, The Urantia Book's teachings about God help us to welcome and seek his will in our lives - to embrace it and dedicate our own free will to its realization. His spiritual reality, his loving-kindness, his matchless personality, and above all, his attitude of Fatherly affection for all of his children are just a few of God's adorable qualities.
Said Jesus: "You have been taught that you should `fear God and keep his commandments, for that is the whole duty of man.' But I have come to give you a new and higher commandment. I would teach you to `love God and learn to do his will, for that is the highest privilege of the liberated sons of God.' Your fathers were taught to `fear God—the Almighty King.' I teach you, `Love God—the all-merciful Father.' ~ The Urantia Book, (149:6.7)
We are blessed to belong to a time in history when the truth of God is finally re-told...
