7:4.1 The Eternal Son is in everlasting [[liaison]] with [[the Father]] in the successful prosecution of the [[divine]] plan of [[progress]]: the [[universal]] plan for the [[creation]], [[evolution]], [[ascension]], and [[perfection]] of [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]]. And, in divine faithfulness, the Son is the eternal [[equal]] of the Father.

7:4.2 The Father and his Son are as one in the formulation and prosecution of this gigantic [[attainment]] plan for advancing the [[material]] [[beings]] of [[time]] to the [[perfection]] of [[eternity]]. This project for the spiritual elevation of the [[ascendant]] [[souls]] of [[space]] is a joint [[creation]] of the Father and the Son, and they are, with the [[co-operation]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]], engaged in [[associative]] execution of their divine [[purpose]].

7:4.3 This divine plan of [[perfection]] [[attainment]] [[embraces]] three [[unique]], though [[marvelous]]ly correlated, enterprises of [[universal]] [[adventure]]:

*1. 7:4.4 1. ''The Plan of Progressive Attainment''. This is the Universal Father's plan of [[evolutionary]] [[ascension]], a program unreservedly accepted by the Eternal Son when he concurred in the Father's proposal, "Let us make mortal creatures in our own image."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.1] This provision for upstepping the [[creatures]] of [[time]] involves the Father's bestowal of the [[Thought Adjusters]] and the endowing of material creatures with the prerogatives of [[personality]].
*2. 7:4.5 2. ''The Bestowal Plan''. The next [[universal]] plan is the great Father-[[revelation]] enterprise of the Eternal Son and his [[Paradise Sons|co-ordinate Sons]]. This is the proposal of the Eternal Son and consists of his bestowal of the Sons of God upon the evolutionary creations, there to [[personalize]] and factualize, to [[incarnate]] and make real, the [[love]] of the Father and the [[mercy]] of the Son to the creatures of all [[universes]]. Inherent in the bestowal plan, and as a provisional feature of this ministration of [[love]], the [[Paradise Sons]] act as rehabilitators of that which misguided creature will has placed in [[spiritual]] [[Risk|jeopardy]]. Whenever and wherever there occurs a delay in the [[function]]ing of the attainment plan, if [[rebellion]], perchance, should mar or complicate this [[enterprise]], then do the emergency provisions of the bestowal plan become [[active]] forthwith. The [[Paradise Sons]] stand pledged and ready to [[function]] as retrievers, to go into the very realms of [[rebellion]] and there restore the [[spiritual]] [[status]] of the [[spheres]]. And such a heroic service a co-ordinate [[Creator Son]] did perform on [[Urantia]] in connection with his experiential [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL bestowal career] of [[sovereignty]] acquirement.
*3. 7:4.6 3. ''The Plan of Mercy Ministry''. When the [[attainment]] plan and the bestowal plan had been formulated and proclaimed, alone and of himself, the [[Infinite Spirit]] projected and put in operation the tremendous and universal [[enterprise]] of [[mercy]] [[ministry]]. This is the service so [[essential]] to the practical and effective operation of both the attainment and the bestowal undertakings, and the [[Paper 34 - The Local Universe Mother Spirit|spiritual personalities]] of the [[Third Source and Center]] all partake of the spirit of mercy ministry which is so much a part of the nature of the Third Person of Deity. Not only in [[creation]] but also in [[administration]], the Infinite Spirit functions truly and literally as the conjoint executive of the Father and the Son.

7:4.7 The Eternal Son is the personal trustee, the divine custodian, of the Father's universal plan of [[creature]] [[ascension]]. Having promulgated the [[universal]] [[mandate]], "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect,"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_5] the Father intrusted the execution of this tremendous undertaking to the Eternal Son; and the Eternal Son [[shares]] the fostering of this supernal enterprise with his divine co-ordinate, the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Thus do the [[Deities]] effectively [[co-operate]] in the work of [[creation]], [[control]], [[evolution]], [[revelation]], and [[Service|ministration]]—and if required, in restoration and rehabilitation.
