The object of Christian Science is to advocate the righteous cause of Jesus Christ, to heal the sick and reform the sinner—to practicalize words with works in demonstration that his method is not a lost art.
In thus "contending earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints," it recognizes but one God, Soul of the universe, whose name is Love, in whose image and likeness we are, and that this "Life of our spirit" is the Absolute of its opposite named matter.
It holds the position that there is no law against goodness; that sin, sickness, and sorrow are abnormal and unnecessary, and are the fruit of erroneous beliefs, whose name is ignorance, and whose genesis is nothing.
