WALKING WITH GOD, NOT WITH TIME

CLARA ARMITAGE BROWN

It is widely believed that man is a mortal, inexorably subject to time and possessing a material body which must eventually grow old and die. This is a devastating belief, against which, through an intelligent understanding of God and man, one rises in active and decided rebellion.

Man is not an aging mortal, bound by unrelenting, so-called laws of time and matter. On the contrary, man possesses immortal consciousness; he is constituted of God-bestowed, spiritual qualities and is subject only to the law of God. These qualities, held in eternal perfection by divine Mind, from which they emanate, cannot be touched by time or matter. They cannot grow old, wear out, or die.

In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, writes (p. 240), "Mortals move onward towards good or evil as time glides on." Christian Science discloses the great necessity to move on toward good, not evil; to make progress each day in overcoming the limitations of time, age, matter, and sin; and to grasp, as demonstrable now, the fact of man's goodness and agelessness.
