"TRUTH IS AFFIRMATIVE"

MARTHA BEMAN

Who does not wish to establish harmony in his experience—harmony in his home, his business, in all his human relationships? Christian Science teaches and proves that by reflecting and maintaining active, affirmative spiritual ideas ideas—emanating from God, divine Mind—all may realize this happy state.

Mary Baker Eddy states in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 418), "Truth is affirmative, and confers harmony." Truth is God. Truth, therefore, must be infinite, affirming harmony infinitely, leaving neither place nor opportunity for negation.

In the first chapter of Genesis we read that man is made in God's image and likeness. Every prayer, or Christian Science treatment, is based upon the realization of this fundamental Scriptural truth, upon man's immortal, eternal status as the perfect child, or reflection, of God, the divine Principle of his being.
