Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man

By HENRY L. UPTON.

A thought which has been very helpful to me, since taking up the study of Christian Science, is the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.

In considering this subject let us turn to the Scriptures, which were given to us by the holy men of God, who wrote as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost, and study them carefully and prayerfully, in connection with our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

It is written, "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him." "The Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves." "Have we not all one Father? hath not one God created us?" "Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." By considering these passages in the light of Christian Science, it is evident that God is our Father,— yea, more than that, He is our Mother, our All-in-all; for He is the only Creator, the only Source from which we derive our real life. Paul says, "One God and Father of all, who is above all, through all, and in you all."
