FREEDOM FROM MISTAKES

THOMAS B. HUDSON

Among the benefits derived from the study of Christian Science is the overcoming of the tendency to make mistakes. The ever-increasing freedom from errors is not something that just happens; it is the result of scientific education.

The Science of being is based on the fact that man is God's image and likeness; that is, that man expresses God. Therefore, since man expresses God, it would be necessary for God to err before man could do so. In this age when God is becoming increasingly understood as Love, infinite intelligence, divine Mind, unerring Principle, and invariable Truth, no enlightened Christian really believes that God is capable of making a mistake. It must follow in logical sequence that God's image is just as incapable of making a mistake.

To the human sense of things, one's experience does not always work out in this way, for the mortal concept is never accurate. The only correct testimony is found in spiritual understanding. Because God is Love, Spirit, intelligence, and never is seen or known through material sense, the understanding of Him must be based on spiritual sense.
