OUR CALL

A NEW REVELATION OF JESUS AND HIS KINGDOM

I THE CALL TO SERVICE

      On page 1114 The Urantia Book declares that, “living faith is God knowing and man serving.” In this short statement the revelators make clear that our service to others is an essential aspect of living faith. In fact we may easily conclude from this statement that if we are not engaged in such service to others, we are thereby lacking in living faith.

And who has not felt, from time to time, this call to service? this urge to serve our world, and immerse ourselves in the work to which we feel called?  So much of what we do in life is meaningless and without real import. But we know that the devoted service of God’s children here on earth is important. And when we are engaged in such service our lives gain new meaning and take on new value. We are no longer wasting the time and talents God has given us but are using them in a way that pleases Him.
