THERE ARE NO SCARS IN GOD'S REALM

PEARL IRENE REID

Christian Science teaches us that man, made in the image and likeness of God, is and always will be at the standpoint of perfection. Sickness, sin, death, or any other inharmonious condition can never alter man, for nothing can mar or blemish the perfect reflection of God.

The material person may seem to go through phases of deterioration; but there is never any change or decline in God; so there can be no change nor decline in man, His image.

Mary Baker Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 402), "The material body manifests only what mortal mind believes, whether it be a broken bone, disease, or sin." So if we would be well, we must accept as true only the good, and we must deny as untrue whatever is not in accordance with the perfect reflection of God.
