DEMONSTRATING LOVE

ELIZABETH G. GLAZIER

"Love for mankind is the elevator of the human race; it demonstrates Truth and reflects divine Love. Good is divinely natural. Evil is unnatural; it has no origin in the nature of God, and He is the Father of all." So writes Mary Baker Eddy on page 288 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany."

God's ever-present infinitude of love for His creation, man and the universe, must be and is recognized through spiritual sense, for material sense can take no cognizance of it. How can we bring this love into our own experience and make it practical? By letting thought dwell upon the fact of God's impartial and enduring love and expressing it. The individual expression of Love brings to light man's at-one-ment with God, as His son.

In order to understand God as Love, we must make a distinction between God's man, the real man, and the allegorical man of the Adam-dream. Love does not create a sinning, sick, suffering, dying, unloving mortal. Such a man was never created; therefore mortal man must be an illusion, the supposititious unlikeness of God, a misconception of the real man.
