Existence as understood in Christian Science is spiritual and eternal—all that is embraced in God and His creation. Sickness and evil do not have these qualities of being, because they are not creations of God.

The commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," and many other passages of the Scriptures, preclude the thought that there is more than one creator; and as sickness and evil are no part of God's creation, they cannot have a real existence, but must be the result of erroneous beliefs and human misconceptions. It must be assumed that if God had created sickness and evil, Jesus would not have destroyed them, and therefore his works and the works of Christian Science are entirely in harmony with his profound statement to all his followers, "If ye continue in my word, . . . ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
