If you ask how God made people

Rose M. Henniker-Heaton

How did God make people? To answer that we have to find what God is.

Jesus said that God was his Father. Everything real about him—everything he really was—came from God. This real self— we call it the Christ—was what made him a wonderful healer. God is divine Mind. So Jesus knew that his intelligence came from God. God is Love.^{See I John 4:16;} So Jesus knew that all the love he had for everyone came to him from God. Mrs. Eddy says this of Christ Jesus in Science and Health: "He claimed no intelligence, action, nor life separate from God."^{Science and Health, p. 136.}

You and I can be followers of Jesus and claim the same. Everything we have that is real and good comes from God. Christian Science shows how to discover and prove what we really are. It does this partly by explaining what God is. But I understand your question. You want to ask: "What about our bodies? They look solid, and you can pinch them."
