Epilogue

This book has presented a fresh, non-traditional look at the Bible and Christian orthodox teachings. If the concepts presented here resonate with you and make sense, you have an exciting spiritual journey before you and a glorious destiny to work toward.

Adherents to all major religious traditions seek to find meaning to their life, both here and beyond. Most acknowledge the existence of a Higher Power as they understand it, such as the Source of all that is. Divine Love, the essence of a loving Creator God that He offers to share with humans if they wish to receive it, transcends all religions. If these teachings are true, they can be seen as a transcendent religion and a universal way to God and salvation (as opposed to the traditional belief that people have to become Christians and accept Jesus’ sacrifice as a payment for their sins before they can be saved).

In a way, the overarching teaching of the availability of the Divine Love as a means for reaching a state of at-onement with God can be integrated into other religions. Believers of various persuasions, who already strive for a life of love, morality and ethics can adopt the concept and through earnest prayer, have their souls transformed by the Divine Love. If and when this happens, their very partial understanding of the ultimate reality (which we all have) will also gradually grow.

People of different faiths hope and believe that this life is not all there is. If that’s the case, it behoves all of us to gain more understanding of the next life and prepare for it here and now. I believe that seeking and growing in the Divine Love is the best answer. However, each person has to decide for themselves.

Ideally, humans need to ponder these important truths in this life as the spirit world will not greatly help them of and by itself to obtain a more enlightened insight. A spirit is only a human without a physical body and the accompanying cares of earthly life. Some, however, retain these cares for a long time after coming to the spirit world and are only relieved of them by paying the penalties of a violated law. By contrast, those spirits who resist the temptations to indulge their previous life passions and appetites are able to turn their thoughts to higher things and may soon realize that only the New Birth brought about by soul transformation through the Divine Love of the Father can help them reach their highest potential. This is a glorious destiny as immortal divine angels in the Celestial Kingdom of God of unlimited joy, beauty and happiness.

If you are ready to test the truth of the message in this book, why not commit to personally start praying for the Divine Love? Use the prayer following Chapter 12, or ideas from it or the biblical prayers that resonate with you, or simply your own sincere and heartfelt prayer. In a few weeks of earnest and consistent prayer, you are likely to notice greater peace and closeness to the Creator, as well as more love, joy, happiness and serenity.

As you continue praying, your life will become more loving and less stressed. You’ll grow in understanding of vital truths. And when your time comes to leave this world and enter the spirit world, you will be well on the way to the Celestial Kingdom of God that Jesus spoke about where unsurpassed bliss and happiness await those who have achieved at-onement with their Heavenly Father through soul transformation from divine image into divine substance by the Divine Love.
