Christian Science declares that God, Spirit, Mind, is the perfect Principle of all that really exists; that the real universe, including man, is spiritual, perfect, harmonious, intact now and forever, and that this spiritual fact can never be changed. According to Christian Science the man of God's creating does not need to be healed or saved, because this man is neither sick nor a sinner. The realization of the spiritual fact corrects the mortal or Adamic concept of man and brings about what is known as Christian healing.

"Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick," Mrs. Eddy writes on page 476 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." When the student of mathematics corrects an error in a problem he does not suggest it away; he applies to it the basic rule of mathematics and the error disappears. When the student of Christian Science undertakes to heal the sick he does not use will-power; he realizes the truth of being. Referring to this purely metaphysical process, Christ Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Christian Science and the Christianity of Jesus are identical.
