The Law of God

There is a law of God that governs everything in His universe — a law of good. If we will acknowledge and then strive to live in accordance with that law, we will have a healthy and fulfilling life.

Mary Baker Eddy has written a statement in Science and Health, which I love. It states, “Truth, Life, and Love are a law of annihilation to everything unlike themselves, because they declare nothing except God.” (p. 243) There’s the law! Jesus knew that divine Truth, Life, and Love is a law of God, and that’s how he healed. That is how Christian Science heals.

There is a statement in the Bible that says, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2) I’ve been healed of many things in Christian Science, often with the help of a practitioner from this church. With every healing, I have found a greater sense of the presence and power of God, and a greater understanding of the law that God is. I have also found greater confidence in our God-given authority over sin, disease, and death. When you know your authority over sin, disease, and death, you become less fearful of anything. It is a liberating, wonderful way of life, knowing that no matter what problem you might have to face, there is a law of God that will see you through.
