The Bible reveals the law of God, the law of Life

WILLIAM C. FERGUSON with contributions from LUCINDA FERGUSON

The Bible reveals the law of God, the law of Life. This is especially evident in the life and example of Christ Jesus, who said (John 6:63), "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." And in this age, the truth that he taught is made absolutely clear through God's revelation of the Christ Science to Mary Baker Eddy.

Sometimes when I think of the implications of all this I say to myself: "You sure have a long way to go." But I am comforted by this thought: "We are not mortals striving to be perfect someday. In reality, we are God's immortal ideas right now." And armed with this truth, we can daily defeat a false sense of ourselves as mortals, as we "put off the old man with his deeds; and. .. put on the new man" (Col. 3:9, 10). Like a sculptor, we chip away false beliefs until the true concept shines forth.

Many years ago when I first took up the study of Christian Science, my parents, who were not Christian Scientists, were concerned, since I had given up periodic physical examinations. They warned that I was susceptible to a hereditary disease, diabetes. I told them that I would be all right. However, in my prayers I neglected to specifically handle fear—my parents' fear for me and my own.
