Five reasons to be sure of your Sonship status

[Vern]

While “it does not yet appear what you shall be,” even now “you are the faith sons of God”

It is a solemn and supernal fact that such lowly and material creatures as Urantia human beings are the sons of God, faith children of the Highest. “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God.” “As many as received him, to them gave he the power to recognize that they are the sons of God.” While “it does not yet appear what you shall be,” even now “you are the faith sons of God”…   [Paper 40:6.2, page 448:1] emphasis added

Five reasons to be sure of your sonship status

1. You are entitled to believe in the reality of your sonship, thereby your reality is confirmed.
2. Elder brother Michael/Jesus, has same Father as you do.
3. Spirit of Son has been freely given to you, spirit which draws you to his presence and thereby, the presence of your Father, his Father.
4. Your Father has given you personality that he can individually recognise you.
5. You are directly related to the Father of all sons of God, he’s traversed space and time from his eternal abode to be with you already.

All evolutionary worlds of mortal habitation harbor these faith sons of God, sons of grace and mercy, mortal beings belonging to the divine family and accordingly called the sons of God. Urantia mortals are entitled to regard themselves as being the sons of God because:

1. You are sons of spiritual promise, faith sons; you have accepted the status of sonship. You believe in the reality of your sonship, and thus does your sonship with God become eternally real.

2. A Creator Son of God became one of you; he is your elder brother in fact; and if in spirit you become truly related brothers of Christ, the victorious Michael, then in spirit must you also be sons of that Father which you have in common—even the Universal Father of all.

3. You are sons because the spirit of a Son has been poured out upon you, has been freely and certainly bestowed upon all Urantia races. This spirit ever draws you toward the divine Son, who is its source, and toward the Paradise Father, who is the source of that divine Son.

4. Of his divine free-willness, the Universal Father has given you your creature personalities. You have been endowed with a measure of that divine spontaneity of freewill action which God shares with all who may become his sons.

5. There dwells within you a fragment of the Universal Father, and you are thus directly related to the divine Father of all the Sons of God. [Paper 40:6.3–8, page 448:2–7] emphasis added
