Bible Lessons

From the July 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896:Mis. 196:28-199:10


"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."—Acts 16:31.

The scriptures require more than a simple admission and acceptance of the truths they present, they require a living faith in them that so incorporates their lessons into our lives they become the motive power of every act.

The text we have selected is one more frequently used than many others perhaps, to exhort people to turn from sin and to strive after holiness. But we fear the full meaning of this text is not accepted. It means a full salvation—man saved from sin, sickness and death, wholly fit for heaven, the way which Jesus marked out and bade his followers pursue.
