I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing

Robert Creyk

I did not come into Christian Science for physical healing. Previous to the time that this teaching was brought under my notice, a loved wife had just passed on; and I rejected it, as I had the opinion that no one could tell me anything new about God or the Bible. I had always been a consistent church member, and all the time of my trial referred to, my faith in God never wavered, but a study of Christian Science showed me that my faith in God was a blind belief without knowledge and understanding. It became clear to me then, as the truth of Mrs. Eddy's teaching was grasped, that I needed mental healing and needed it very much, for I had allowed the temple of my consciousness to become a veritable den of thieves.

Christian Science taught me that the mortal concept of man which I had entertained, was an illusion; that the real man is spiritual, made in the image and likeness of God. With this understanding of the truth of being there came a complete transformation in my mentality, and I verified in my experience these words of Paul: "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." With the overcoming of sense testimony I enjoyed greater mental and physical freedom, thus entering into my God-given heritage of dominion. I am better now physically, morally, mentally, and above all spiritually, that I have ever been, and I look forward to still greater results as I attain unto the Mind "which was also in Christ Jesus." I have found that spiritual health means physical health; they cannot be separated.
