*"When you enter the kingdom, you are reborn. You cannot teach the deep things of the '''spirit''' to those who have been born only of the flesh. First see that men are born of the spirit before you seek to instruct them in the advanced ways of the '''spirit'''. Do not undertake to show men the beauties of the temple until you have first taken them into the temple. Introduce men to '''God''' and as '''the sons of God''' before you discourse on the doctrines of the fatherhood of God and the sonship of men. Do not strive with men -- always '''be patient'''. It is not your kingdom. You are only '''ambassadors'''. Simply go forth proclaiming, this is the kingdom of heaven -- '''God is your Father and you are his sons''', and this '''good news''', if you wholeheartedly believe it, is '''your eternal salvation'''."
