Understanding God's Law

HARRIET LEITH COLLIE

On page 172 of "Miscellaneous Writings" Mrs. Eddy writes: "That which is termed 'natural science,' the evidences whereof are taken in by the five personal senses, presents but a finite, feeble sense of the infinite law of God; which law is written on the heart, received through the affections, spiritually understood, and demonstrated in our lives." The great problem that confronts humanity is how to live in conformity with God's law. The ceaseless struggle to meet the constant demands of material existence, engendering factions and strife of every kind, the unavailing striving in many cases for health, happiness, and harmony—all are caused by lack of the knowledge of the true source of all, God, the divine Principle, and of His law.

Our Master said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The Christ, Truth, brought to us by Jesus of Nazareth and in this present age by Mary Baker Eddy, will alone satisfy the longing within each of us for something more than what human existence offers, for that which will meet the constant daily demands, and will satisfy the higher aspirations, the deeper affections, even the longing for the eternal and indestructible.

In the grand verity that life emanates from God alone, from infinite good, and that this infinite good can be brought into our daily experience, lies the salvation of mankind. This truth is the law of Life. And in the proportion that we claim it and lose our belief that life is in or of matter, it increases longevity, eliminates fear, and brings an ever increasing sense of the fuller joys and harmonies that constitute life in Spirit, God. This truth is even now unfolding to humanity a broader outlook, permeating the consciousness with higher ideals, purer motives. aspirations, and desires.
