God's children—never illegitimate

NATHAN A. TALBOT

Every child of God, every spiritual idea conceived by the divine law of Truth and Love, has purpose, legitimacy, divine destiny. Not a single spiritual idea is without place in God's plan. None falls outside God's infinite law.

God's creation is a universe of perfection. Ultimately, all mankind will surrender to this final truth. We will give up the limitations of mortality—the belief that materiality instead of Spirit is the basis of existence—and we will recognize the validity of God's pure idea.

This recognition is gained by degrees, as we relinquish beliefs of evil and accept the allness of God and His goodness. The legitimacy of each individual comes not from a mortal parentage but directly from divine Truth. Because God is the sole creator, man's true nature is entirely spiritual. The more clearly God is understood to be the only source of being, the more soundly will human events reflect the divine facts.
