SELF-CONDEMNATION OVERCOME

RENÉ H. SCHUBERT

God, infinite Love, is aware only of perfection and harmony. Evil is contrary to His nature and finds no part in Him. The Bible says of God (Hab. 1:13), "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity."

So the real man, reflecting God, can experience only a state of sinlessness. He is governed by Soul, not by sense. The realization that man is God's beloved child, encompassed by the allness of divine Love, enables one to understand that he cannot in reality be attacked by the suggestion of past sins and mistakes, and this realization brings freedom from self-condemnation.
