"The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof"
In the Bible we read, "God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Gen. 1:31; God made creation spiritual and perfect. Our progress in Christian Science corresponds to the unfolding of God's spiritual creation. "God said, Let there be light: and there was light." v. 3;
This light of Christ, Truth, comes to us as we seek it and constantly turn away from the material sense of things to the spiritual sense. We waken progressively from the belief of life in matter to the understanding of life in Spirit. And when spiritual reality starts to appear, we begin to ascend from the darkness of materiality into the sunshine of Truth; when we overcome the belief in a material creation, we become increasingly conscious of the spiritual creation—the only one there is.
It is sin—envy, jealousy, lust, dishonesty, revenge, rivalry, and selfishness, all only temporal—that appears to hide good from us. Error is only a dark shadow of thought that would hide the truth of our unity with God and His perfect creation. Nothing can really hide good from us. Our failure to acknowledge God in all our ways brings about apparent failure and the fear of failure. In belief, fear stops progress. But, Mrs. Eddy tells us, "Remember God in all thy ways, and thou shalt find the truth that breaks the dream of sense, letting the harmony of Science that declares Him, come in with healing, and peace, and perfect love."
