The Law of Health Annuls False Health-laws

Naomi Price

It is normal to be healthy. Everyone should express wholeness, activity, and freedom in both mind and body. In Truth we are all the offspring of God, and nothing less than total well-being represents humanly the individuality of the real, spiritual man, who is the manifestation and exact likeness of God, divine Spirit.

Perfect, permanent, normal health is not bestowed by God in a haphazard way on a chosen few or for a limited period. Under the rule of the impartial, immutable law of eternal Life, everyone can expect to display and enjoy the vitality and freedom of health, not just sometimes but always, regardless of age or human conditions. Mrs. Eddy writes, "According to Christian Science, perfection is normal,—not miraculous. Clothed, and in its right Mind, man's individuality is sinless, deathless, harmonious, eternal."^{Miscellaneous Writings, p. 104;}

In this era, when more working hours are wasted through sickness, more pills consumed, more hospital beds occupied, than ever before, it may seem rash to make this assertion that health is the law of God and the normal condition of man. But nonetheless it is true. An understanding of this divine law of health not only was proved by Christ Jesus and his followers but can be proved now, equipping one with the power to annihilate mental and physical disease and establish healthy conditions of mind and body in human experience. The Apostle Paul wrote, "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."^{Rom. 8:2.}
