Breaking the Chains of Fear

ELIZABETH BICE LUERSSEN

"Man, the idea of God, is never afraid and is never in danger, since he is indestructible, eternal"

Fear is a recognized detriment to health, happiness, and harmony. Nobody really wants to be afraid, and the encouraging message of Christian Science is that nobody needs to be afraid. This religion echoes the words of Christ Jesus (Matt. 14:27), "Be not afraid," and demonstrates that there is nothing to fear, for there is no power opposed to God; therefore no thing, person, or condition can harm or destroy God's creation, man, and there is nothing outside God's spiritual, safe, eternal, wholly good universe.
