The result of God's being

The Editors

There is one Supreme Being, Christian Science teaches, and that Being is God, who is infinite divine Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, and Love. Each of those synonyms for God reveals something awe-inspiring about the essence and nature of the Supreme Being. God is always being God, always at full strength. The brilliant result of this action is you and me. God being God gives you existence. It’s described simply by Mary Baker Eddy this way: “Man is the expression of God’s being” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 470).

In the entirety of creation, you have been given a most significant role. Imagine all the jobs you could have been given, but you have been assigned the most important one, and that is simply to be part of “the expression of God’s being.” Since God’s being is infinite, you reflect the fullness and limitless goodness of God. To honor this in yourself is always powerful prayer.

No mortality or limitations are found in God’s being. There is no resentment or regret there, either. Just perfection and wholeness, without stain. With only one Being, there is nothing from which you could obtain lack, sin, or sickness. The Supreme Being is supreme good!
