THE UNCHANGING NATURE OF GOD

MARIE EVA SCOTT

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Thus does James describe the unchangeable character of God (1: 17). When in our daily lives we find ourselves confronted with apparent discord and variable moods, it is a wonderful thing to be able to turn to God, the source of good and of nothing else.

Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 140): "The Jewish tribal Jehovah was a man-projected God, liable to wrath, repentance, and human changeableness. The Christian Science God is universal, eternal, divine Love, which changeth not and causeth no evil, disease, nor death."

This divine Love, the Giver of all good, is the Principle and cause of all that exists and does not send or sanction disease or disasters of any kind. When mankind see this truth clearly, sin, disease, and discord will disappear.
