DIVINE LOVE IS SUPREME

LOIS M. CONOVER

In general, humanity thinks of love as a human emotion separate from God and at the disposal of persons. Yet the Bible declares that God is Love and that He is omnipresent and omnipotent. Even a slight grasp of what this implies begins at once to dispel the heartache, uncertainty, loneliness, and despair consequent upon believing love to be finite and personal and capable of making us happy or miserable.

Reasoning from the unquestionable basis of the omnipresence and omnipotence of God, divine Love, who is the creator of all reality, one necessarily arrives at the conclusion that there is no place where Love is not. According to the teachings of Christian Science, the whole universe, including man, is divine Love's expression of its infinite allness. This universe is entirely governed by Love. Since Love is infinite, nothing can exist that Love has not created, and there can be no opposition to its all-governing power. Any evidence to the contrary is proved false in the degree that Christian Science is understood and demonstrated.

The Christian world accepts the fact that God is Love. Christian Science reveals the tremendous significance of this fact and shows how, when scientifically understood, it may be applied to every problem with healing effect, as it was in Jesus' time. Mary Baker Eddy, speaking of the Master, says in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 286), "He knew that the divine Principle, Love, creates and governs all that is real." The student of Christian Science who understands that all authority and power belongs to divine Love contributes much to the ultimate harmony of world affairs. Similarly he is able to demonstrate happiness and harmony in his own experience and to correct whatever may appear discordant.
