THE DESIGN OF LOVE

From the May 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Now the Lord had said unto Abraham: "Get thee out of thy country-and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee." Genesis xii. 1.

The purpose of Love—to create trust in Good, faith in the Divine Love and Eternal Principle of Being—is clearly illustrated in the history of the Patriarch Abraham, and manifested in human experience, down through the ages, even until the present day, gathering to itself through the multiplying thought of Love, begetting its kind, which (spiritually understood) is designated the Seed of Abraham.

The demand to leave his old home, which was met with such filial obedience, and the attendant results, in the blessing Abraham received, are types of the prerequisites to spiritual understanding, and the reward of fidelity in the Spirit and power of demonstration, which is the legitimate result of the teachings of Christian Science.
