Good Must Overcome

Naomi Price

Truth will always be victorious over error, love over hate, harmony over discord. Is this hard to believe? This is a fact and can always be proved by those who have faith in God and who steadfastly hold to the Christian concept of God's all-power and ever-presence.

God is Truth and Love. These are names for the one, omnipotent creator. Harmony and goodness are His attributes, so we can know that these qualities are real and eternal, whereas error, hate, discord—all evil—are unreal, temporal, and temporary. They exist only in belief and persist in belief only as long as the belief of their existence is retained in human consciousness.

Mary Baker Eddy once wrote, "Falsehood is on the wings of the winds, but Truth will soar above it." And farther on she continues: "The archers aim at Truth's mouthpiece; but a heart loyal to God is patient and strong. Justice waits, and is used to waiting; and right wins the everlasting victory."^{Miscellaneous Writings, p. 277;}
