Accepting Immortal Testimony

ROBERT JOHN ROBERTS

"The scientifically Christian explanations of the nature and origin of man destroy all material sense with immortal testimony," Science and Health, p. 490; Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health. She adds, "This immortal testimony ushers in the spiritual sense of being, which can be obtained in no other way."

The efforts of students of Christian Science are therefore directed to gaining an understanding of God and man that will replace the material sense of creation with the immortal testimony of a true sense of being.

Through the study and application of Christian Science thought is gradually and spiritually educated away from contemplating man as a mortal, beginning and ending in matter, a physical entity subject to the various inharmonies that would seem to attach themselves to him and become an apparently legitimate part of him. The student begins to consider and understand man as an idea of God, divine Mind, knowing and manifesting nothing but the perfect spiritual qualities of his creator.
