THE ONLY MAN GOD KNOWS

MYRTLE A. CASH

Christian Science teaches that God is infinite, eternal Love, Principle, Spirit, Truth, Mind, Soul, Life. It further teaches that the only man known to God is the man of His creating, who, as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis, is made in His image and after His likeness.

Embraced in Mind's infinitude, God's idea, man, reflects the eternality of Life and the incorporeality of Spirit. Endowed with Soul's clarity of vision, he radiates health and happiness. With Truth as his origin, he cannot be confined in or subject to the whims of the flesh, the counterfeit of his spiritual identity. His only real identity, outside and independent of the false, material concept of body, is as perfect and eternal as is the unalterable divine Principle from which it springs. For, as the emanation of Love's all-wise, ever-active divine intelligence, man is the embodiment of spiritual understanding, energy, loveliness, integrity, and vigor.

An acceptance of these truths liberates men from fears attendant upon belief in human conception and in a nature that is materially predetermined and established. It leads to an understanding of the spiritual fact that, contrary to material sense evidence and education, each idea in Mind has an individual, indestructible, spiritually defined nature, and that the identity of each is entirely distinct from the identity of another, however closely related they may seem to be humanly. Each has specific, distinctive, and eternal identification as a child of God.
