Intelligent creatures are beings who could know God, receive the divine affection, and love him in return.
The transcendent goal of the children of time is to find the eternal God, to comprehend the divine nature, to recognize the Universal Father.
Focusing in thine thoughts and feelings upon the First Source and Divine Center and His Individualized Presence brings the twin atonement of God's benevolence upon the individual personality: Integration of all lifetimes for the personality and Unification of the total personhood with Divinity. To understand this Eternity Activity is to enter into God's Holy Will and Kingdom.
The myriads of planetary systems were all made to be eventually inhabited by many different types of intelligent creatures, beings who could know God, receive the divine affection, and love him in return.
The universe of universes is the work of God and the dwelling place of his diverse creatures.
“God created the heavens and formed the earth; he established the universe and created this world not in vain; he formed it to be inhabited.”
The enlightened worlds all recognize and worship the Universal Father, the eternal maker and infinite upholder of all creation.
The will creatures of universe upon universe have embarked upon the long, long Paradise journey, the fascinating struggle of the eternal adventure of attaining God the Father.
The transcendent goal of the children of time is to find the eternal God, to comprehend the divine nature, to recognize the Universal Father.
God-knowing creatures have only one supreme ambition, just one consuming desire, and that is to become, as they are in their spheres, like him as he is in his Paradise perfection of personality and in his universal sphere of righteous supremacy.
From the Universal Father who inhabits eternity there has gone forth the supreme mandate, “Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.”
In love and mercy the messengers of Paradise have carried this divine exhortation down through the ages and out through the universes, even to such lowly animal-origin creatures as the human races of Urantia.
