The Family of God

The Family of God is the Kingdom of God; the Father's fold; the fellowship of faith-liberated sons and daughters of God. They family of God is broad and vast - way, way, way beyond our present comprehension. Seek to understand your place in God's family. Understand and appreciate your role and your rights and privileges. Be empowered. Be blessed. And lead a life of faith, love and service. Hallelujah! Amen.

"The next evening, having gathered together the twelve apostles, the apostles of John, and the newly commissioned women's group, Jesus said: "You see for yourselves that the harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Let us all, therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest that he send forth still more laborers into his fields."" - Urantia Book Paper 150:4.1
"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." - Jesus, Matthew 11:12

To love AS Jesus loved

#Love
Jesus seeks to take us deeper for he said: LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I LOVE YOU. 
THAT'S DEEP! 

We are not expected to just love others as we love ourselves. We are encouraged to climb higher - inwards: TO LOVE AS GOD LOVES. 
We are to go far beyond the beautiful human capacity to LOVE. We are to ascend higher into the greater divine capacity to LOVE. 
Stop and meditate on this for a minute...

John 13:34-35 Darby Translation (DARBY)
34 A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all know that ye are disciples of mine, if ye have love amongst yourselves. 

Urantia Book 180:1 - THE NEW COMMANDMENT. 
JESUS to his disciples, "...You well know the commandment which directs that you love one another; that you love your neighbor even as yourself. But I am not wholly satisfied with even that sincere devotion on the part of my children. I would have you perform still greater acts of love in the kingdom of the believing brotherhood. And so I give you this new commandment: That you love one another even as I have loved you. And by this will all men know that you are my disciples if you thus love one another." - UB180:1.1
