The Law of Continuance

Violet Ker Seymer

"Whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it." Then man, begotten of God, changeless Mind, is expressing perpetual fruitage and unfoldment, for every effect of God, the continuing cause, is immune from fluctuation. Spiritual law provides for the continuous manifestation of all that God has created. his creation is as permanent as Himself.

Perhaps Jesus had in thought the divine law of continuance when he said to his followers that they glorified the Father by bringing forth much fruit, and that he had come in order that they might have life more abundantly. In the infinite God and his manifestation there are no spent, and no suspended resources. All true thinking is abundant thinking, whether it be applied to health, love, strength, intelligence, joy, or any other fruit of the Spirit.

In "The People's Idea of God" (p. 1) Mrs. Eddy writes, "Even the pangs of death disappear, accordingly as the understanding that we are spiritual beings here reappears, and we learn our capabilities for good, which insures man's continuance and is the true glory of immortality." Christian Scientists, being faithful, refuse to entertain a temporal concept of themselves or of others, for by so doing they would be thinking in disobedience to the law of eternal Life. The continuance of divine Mind provides for nothing discontinuous; every faculty that exists at all exists in Mind and forever. The permanence of Life and all its faculties is independent of the physical body and of the almanac, for the demonstration of eternal life rests upon conscious unity with Spirit. Spiritual man is inseparable from the indestructible cause which enfolds and maintains every effect in everlasting harmony; so there is no place in real consciousness for anything insubstantial or temporal.
