Man is forever intact

ROBERT SIMON MARCUS

Man's true selfhood as the son of God is forever intact. This heartening fact derives from the very nature of true substance, the substance of God's being. In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy writes, "Substance is that which is eternal and incapable of discord and decay." And further on she adds, "The spiritual universe, including individual man, is a compound idea, reflecting the divine substance of Spirit." Science and Health, p. 468;

Man, whose identity and individuality are formed and created by Spirit, must perpetually experience inalienable good. His substance is necessarily inviolable and unerodible. Because there is no outside to God's kingdom and no imperfection within, man and all the right ideas that constitute his being are wholly exempt from opposition or loss.
