What Man Really Is

John J. Selover

While scholastic theology and physiology picture man as material, made of the dust of the ground, having, perhaps, an eternal soul, Christian Science accepts the inspired account of the Bible, where it is recorded that God (not the Lord God) made man in His own image and likeness. What man really is in Science is what we are eternally.

To distinguish the false concept of man from the true, the language of Christian Science makes use of words such as "in reality," "actually," "in Science," "in truth," and the like. We may assert that each one of us is actually the child of God, perfect, harmonious, spiritual, and eternal.

That which is actual or real is that which is incorporeal and spiritual. It is that which cannot be destroyed. It never had a beginning. It is exactly as it was when God "spake, and it was done" (Ps. 33:9).
