Uplifting the Spiritual Idea

ALICE SHERIDAN

In accordance with the first chapter of Genesis, in which we read that "God created man in his own image," and with the declaration of Jesus, "God is a Spirit," Christian Science teaches that man is wholly spiritual, and explains the relationship of God and man as Father and son. This scientific truth is unchangeable, immutable, immortal, and nothing can hinder or prevent each one from eventually realizing and thus demonstrating it.

In the first epistle of John, third chapter, the apostle proclaims the real nature of man when he says: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."
