"The power of an endless life"

John J. Selover

Underlying, permeating, and supporting all true being is the infinite, divine power, which cannot be depicted or destroyed. Speaking of God, the Psalmist said (Ps. 66:7), "He ruleth by his power for ever."

Christian Science presents the truth of creation, as set forth in the first chapter of Genesis. There it is proclaimed that God made all that was made, including man, and that He made it very good. Man, then, has nothing to do with matter or flesh. He is perfect, spiritual, and everlasting because he is made by God, eternal good.

It is futile and indeed harmful to think of man as formed by material or mortal means and hence subject to physical laws of growth, decay, and death. Discord, deterioration, and dissolution do not touch the real man. They pertain only to the false or counterfeit sense of man. Materiality and mortality do not enter into the description of our real selfhood, which exists in and is empowered by God forever.
