Healing sins of omission

WILLIAM E. MOODY

Christian Science challenges us to examine our lives carefully and consistently. What are we thinking? What are we believing? What is motivating us? What are we doing and saying?

When we honestly question ourselves in this manner and pray to be obedient and steadfast in fulfilling God's perfect will, we are faithfully preparing the ground for spiritual growth and ongoing regeneration. And as we strive to correct specifically any shortcoming or error that may be uncovered in our thinking, we are meeting Christ's demand to vanquish sin.

Sin can be classified in broad terms as whatever would presume to separate us from God, whatever would tempt us to act contrary to the divine purpose, whatever would obscure the light of divine Truth. Sin is mental darkness. When entertained, it causes individuals to lose sight of man's blessed unity with divine Love, which is the true, permanent heritage of God's child, His image and likeness.
