40:6.1 The [[mortal]] [[races]] stand as the [[representatives]] of the lowest order of [[intelligent]] and [[personal]] [[creation]]. You [[mortals]] are [[divinely]] beloved, and every one of you may [[choose]] to accept the certain [[destiny]] of a [[glorious]] [[experience]], but you are not yet by [[nature]] of the [[divine]] order; you are wholly [[mortal]]. You will be reckoned as [[ascending]] sons the instant [[fusion]] takes place, but the [[status]] of the [[mortals]] of [[time and space]] is that of [[faith]] sons prior to the [[event]] of the final amalgamation of the [[surviving]] [[mortal]] [[soul]] with some [[type]] of [[eternal]] and [[immortal]] [[spirit]].

40:6.2 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."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_John#1st_Letter_of_John.2C_III] "As many as received him, to them gave he the power to recognize that they are the sons of God."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter] While "it does not yet appear what you shall be,"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_John#1st_Letter_of_John.2C_III] even now "you are the faith sons of God"; " for you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship, whereby you cry, `our Father.'[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans#The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans.2C_VIII] " Spoke the prophet of old in the name of the eternal God: " Even to them will I give in my house a place and a name better than sons; I will give them an everlasting name, one that shall not be cut off. "[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.56] "And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Galatians#The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Galatians.2C_IV]

40:6.3 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. 40:6.4 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. 40:6.5 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. 40:6.6 You are sons because the [[Spirit of Truth|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 [[the Sons of God|divine Son]], who is its [[source]], and toward the [[Paradise Father]], who is the [[source]] of that divine Son.
*4. 40:6.7 Of his [[divine]] [[Free will|free-willness]], the [[Universal Father]] has given you your [[creature]] [[personalities]]. You have been [[endowed]] with a [[measure]] of that [[divine]] [[spontaneity]] of [[Free will|freewill]] [[action]] which [[God]] [[shares]] with all who may become his sons.
*5. 40:6.8 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]].
