While Christian Science teaches the unreality of sin as it teaches the unreality of disease and disaster, it substantiates the correctness of its teaching by the overcoming of both sin and sickness.
In
dealing with the subject of seeming obstacles to our progress, let us picture to ourselves a mountain stream rippling and singing over its stony bed as, in response to the law of gravitation, it traces its unerring way down to the sea.
It
matters not where we choose to locate our thought, as the psalmist discerned so clearly, whether in heaven or in hell, for God, divine Love, infinite good, is ever with us.
Christian Science
lets in the light of divine Mind upon human affairs through correct reasoning based upon divine Principle as underlying all cause and effect, thus bringing out in logical sequence the necessary steps to be taken.
One
tendency of the human mind is to meddle with affairs which are of little or no importance, and which do not in any way promote moral or intellectual development, to allow non-essentials and petty annoyances to engross attention to the neglect of those things which should inspire mankind and lead to spiritual growth and progress.
If our critic's theory of the atonement is the correct one, the supreme sacrifice of Christ Jesus absolves us from the responsibility of working out our own salvation; he has worked out the salvation of all mankind for all time, and we have little more to do than to hold to this belief.
