Meeting the moral demand

MARGARET COLEMAN BROWN

What is the moral demand of God, and why is it so important to spiritual progress?

There was a time in my life when I thought that meeting the moral demand was simply being good. But after I became a student of Christian Science, it dawned on me that morality means infinitely more. It means forsaking the false, material beliefs that deny divine omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence and striving to replace these beliefs with the understanding of God's allness and the nothingness of evil and matter.

The moral demand is that we help establish the kingdom of heaven, or reign of harmony, on earth by following in the footsteps of Christ Jesus, who mapped out the way for us.
