The immediate availability of God's healing power

SHARON SLATON HOWELL

God, good, is all-powerful and ever present. And because He is, we don't have to feel afraid when confronted with sickness or any physical disability. The fact that God is always with us is more than comforting, however; it can be of practical benefit when we know how to avail ourselves of His healing power.

The purpose of Christ Jesus' unequaled example was not merely to inspire mankind but to show us what God is and how to avail ourselves of His power—how to be free from every form of material bondage, physical suffering included. The Master promised, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also."^{John 14:12.}

Christian Science accepts this statement as clear evidence that man is spiritual and perfect as the child of God. And that this spirituality can be demonstrated now as one understands the divine laws underlying Jesus' words and deeds. These changeless laws are explained fully and clearly in the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. The Science revealed in this book is based on the understanding that God is the divine Principle of all that is real, the Principle of Jesus' healing and teaching.
