ABIDING IN GOD

DELLA M. WHITNEY

In the definition of God on page 587 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy gives to the world such a complete, satisfying concept of Him that all who study it desire to understand Him better, walk more closely with Him, and be obedient to His laws. It reads: "God. The great I am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence."

Studying the synonyms for God given in this definition and realizing, as Christian Science teaches, that man is the full and complete reflection of Him, gives the foundational truths for working out each and every problem. It enables us to understand how to put into practical use the beautiful promises of the Bible which we have long read and desired to make our own.
