THE KINGDOM WITHIN BRINGS SECURITY AND HAPPINESS

FLORENCE ADAMS MC GILL

Christ Jesus gave the answer to mankind's problem of fear. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness," said the Master, "and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33). He also said (Luke 17:21), "The kingdom of God is within you."

What is this kingdom within? How did Jesus know that each one has within himself the power to meet successfully the fears and doubts attendant upon a material sense of existence and find security and happiness in God?

Christian Science reveals that the kingdom of God within is harmony, the spiritual consciousness of reality, which is possessed by man, the real selfhood of each of us as the reflection of the one Mind, God. God's kingdom includes divine qualities of thought, which Paul called "the fruit of the Spirit" (Gal. 5:22). Some of these qualities are love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, and faith.
