The Liberator—Love

Duncan Sinclair

The real universe is Love's universe, for God is Love. How feebly sometimes we realize this great fundamental truth! The days of mortals are spent amid material surroundings, in a world where there seems to be for many a perptual struggle for existence, where animal preys upon animal and men often vie with each other ruthlessly. If we are deceived by the material senses and allow ourselves to believe what they tell us, then we shall certainly be blind to the harmonies of the spiritual universe—Love's perfect universe.

Christian Science is before the world today as the scientific exponent of spiritual truth, the absolute truth about God and His creation. It is telling mankind that God is good; that He is Love, and that He exists without an opposite. And since God is Love and altogether good, His creation must be like Him—perfect. The real creation, which is God's manifestation of Himself, has not trace of evil about it; neither is it material, but spiritual. The ideas which constitute the real creation never war against each other, never vie with each other, never hurt each other, since the Principle of their being is Love. As this is understood and the false nature of the material sense of creation is discerned, one begins to have the mastery over false material sense.

God is Love. How do we define Love? We might declare, as Christian Science does, that Love is divine Principle, infinite good, the cause of all that really exists. We might declare, further, that Love is synonymous with Life; and that would be to affirm an immortal truth. But these would not exhaust the definition—far from it; and for the reason that God, Love, is infinite. It were well that we should stand with reverence as we contemplate God as Love. It were well that we should practice doing so; for this mental attitude will help to free us from the mesmerism of materiality, with its debasing tendencies, its false beliefs of oppression and cruelty, sin, disease, and death.
