FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness must be so complete that, at translation time, no un-forgiveness exists within your
consciousness.
Otherwise, how can you expect to be completely forgiven by God.
The Urantia Book
P.755 - §1 Error suggests lack of intellectual keenness; evil, deficiency of wisdom; sin, abject
spiritual poverty; but iniquity is indicative of vanishing personality control.
P.755 - §2 And when sin has so many times been chosen and so often been repeated, it may
become habitual. Habitual sinners can easily become iniquitous, become wholehearted rebels
against the universe and all of its divine realities. While all manner of sins may be forgiven, we
doubt whether the established iniquiter would ever sincerely experience sorrow for his misdeeds or
accept forgiveness for his sins.
P.984 - §7 The possibility of the recognition of the sense of guilt is a badge of transcendent
distinction for mankind. It does not mark man as mean but rather sets him apart as a creature of
potential greatness and ever-ascending glory. Such a sense of unworthiness is the initial stimulus
that should lead quickly and surely to those faith conquests which translate the mortal mind to the
superb levels of moral nobility, cosmic insight, and spiritual living; thus are all the meanings of
human existence changed from the temporal to the eternal, and all values are elevated from the
human to the divine.
P.984 - §8 The confession of sin is a manful repudiation of disloyalty, but it in no wise mitigates the
time-space consequences of such disloyalty. But confession--sincere recognition of the nature of
sin--is essential to religious growth and spiritual progress.
P.985 - §1 The forgiveness of sin by Deity is the renewal of loyalty relations following a period of
the human consciousness of the lapse of such relations as the consequence of conscious
rebellion. The forgiveness does not have to be sought, only received as the consciousness of
re-establishment of loyalty relations between the creature and the Creator. And all the loyal sons
of God are happy, service-loving, and ever-progressive in the Paradise ascent.
