Urantia Book - Paper 2 - The
Nature of God: (A partial synopsis from The Story of Everything by Michelle Klimesh)
Our understanding of God is handicapped because our minds are limited. Humans can best understand the nature of God as it has been revealed through the life and teachings of Jesus.
God the Father
unfailingly meets the ever-changing demand for himself all over the universe.
He knows everything. Universe Sovereigns may engage in adventure; the
Constellation Fathers may experiment; the system heads may practice; but the
Universal Father sees the end from the beginning. To God, all time is present,
there is no past or future. He is infinite in all of his attributes.
God is perfect. In the universes, perfection is relative, but on Paradise, perfection is undiluted. He is perfect in beauty and goodness; there is nothing lacking in his divine character. His justice is tempered with mercy. God is inherently kind, compassionate and merciful. It is never necessary to persuade him to love us; our need is wholly sufficient to insure the flow of his grace. (...finish reading synopsis here)
