Christian Science teaches that Jesus, through his death, resurrection, and ascension, demonstrated certain facts concerning the Science of being which are necessary to be understood in order that mortals may follow the Scriptural injunction, "Work out your own salvation;" and the plan of salvation involves—first, repentance, that is, the recognition that sin is wrong; second, the absolute abandonment of that which is discovered to be wrong, in order that sin may be eliminated from the life of the individual and he may attain to spiritual and Christlike manhood.
