BEARING TRUE WITNESS

KATHLEEN C. BEARDSLEY

The Bible is full of statements made by God about His creation. One such statement is found in Isaiah (43:1), "Thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine." The fact that God created man in His image and likeness—as His perfect expression— may well be considered a pattern for our conversation.

Anything and everything we say should affirm the glorious truth of God's perfect, spiritual creation. Certainly nothing we say should ever contradict it.

"Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord" is recorded in the same chapter of Isaiah. A witness in any walk of life must be alert and observant. As God's witnesses, we should report nothing but the truth with respect to any of our experiences. We should witness only to God's creation and to what He has promised. Since, according to Christian Science, God is All, the only creator, infinite good, we truly have nothing but good to relate.
