Christian Scientists agree with the statements that "all human beings have sinned," and that "without some forfeiture God cannot pardon the offender." In fact, they declare that the forfeiture must be complete, a yielding of all that is unlike God. Christian Science, however, does not teach that Jesus was crucified to appease the wrath of a revengeful god. It shows God to be a God of love, and that Jesus permitted the wickedness of this world to crucify him that he might prove to sinning and suffering humanity that Life is immortal.

It must be remembered that the average Christian Scientist has run the gamut of medical practice and in most cases turned to Christian Science as a last resort. They do not, therefore, repudiate material means for healing merely to be fanatically true to their religious convictions, but because their experience has proved to them irrefutably that God's way is the better way. Christian Science has not only healed them physically, but has given them an enlarged understanding of God and man, a more comprehensive outlook upon life, and that moral and spiritual impetus which accompanies unbounded faith and trust in God.
