Urantia Paper 8—The Infinite Spirit—Part 3: §3. Relation to the Father & the Son

This week on the Cosmic Citizen we continue our study of Urantia Paper 8, The Infinite Spirit. This paper explores the origin, nature, and attributes of the Infinite Spirit, the Third Person of Deity and the Conjoint Creator of all things. We will be covering Section 3. Relation of the Spirit to the Father and the Son. and who knows, maybe we'll get to Section 4. The Spirit of Divine Ministry.

Paralleling the physical universe wherein Paradise gravity holds all things together is the spiritual universe wherein the word of the Son interprets the thought of God and, when “made flesh,” demonstrates the loving mercy of the combined nature of the associated Creators. But in and through all this material and spiritual creation there is a vast stage whereon the Infinite Spirit and his spirit offspring show forth the combined mercy, patience, and everlasting affection of the divine parents towards the intelligent children of their co-operative devising and making. Everlasting ministry to mind is the essence of the Spirit’s divine character. And all the spirit offspring of the Conjoint Actor partake of this desire to minister, this divine urge to service.

God is love, the Son is mercy, the Spirit is ministry — the ministry of divine love and endless mercy to all intelligent creation. The Spirit is the personification of the Father’s love and the Son’s mercy; in him are they eternally united for universal service. The Spirit is love applied to the creature creation, the combined love of the Father and the Son.  (94.3–4) 8:4.1–2

Indeed is this Spirit “the eyes of the Lord which are ever over the righteous” and “the divine ears which are ever open to their prayers. (95.3) 8:4.8
