God's Building

Alan A. Aylwin

Writing to the Corinthian church, Paul makes this provocative statement: "Ye are God's building." I Cor. 3:9; If this is so, what, then, are God's building blocks? Are they atoms or thoughts? Did infinite Spirit create His universe of matter-stuff or of spiritual thought-qualities and ideas?

These questions pose much more than a mere philosophical problem. They touch upon a deeply practical subject that is basic to the well-being of all mankind, for Christian Science reveals that an understanding of what substance really is can be of inestimable value in solving the multitudinous problems that beset humanity.

To the five physical senses matter seems obviously substantive. Every waking moment one is conscious of its presence as his own body, the visible identity of others, and the objects and conditions in one's environment.
