THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE

From the April 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Thoughts suggested in answer to an inquiry by one who is seeking to learn the application of Truth, whereby sickness as well as sin may be overcome.

It is a principle in Science, that to reach a correct result our premise must be correctly stated, which is as follows, viz: Man is living under a belief of sin; and, as a legitimate result of sin, he has a belief of sickness also; the remedy for both of which is Christ—Truth—understanding received and scientifically applied.

The Master asked his disciples this question: "Whom say ye that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered and said unto him," Blessed art thou Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood have not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven;" and the further reply was: "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church," — which signifies, upon this Truth I will build my church, — "and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Thus the seeming power of sin should always be overcome by the ever-present, eternal Truth. "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven." Thus Christ—Truth —is the key of the kingdom of heaven,—the key which opens the door to every good thought which can emanate from Immortal Mind.
