LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE

From the January 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans viii. 2.

The understanding that God is our Life; that there is no mortal life, no mortal mind; giving up our claim to a life separate from God; yielding to the divine law, and understanding that mortality is nothing but an illusion, an error, the work of evil, and that we have all this time been in bondage to it,—slaves not knowing our way out into the light,—all these ideas are included in the text.

"Oh fools and blind," to yield to low beliefs, letting them master us at every turn; even after we are taught, wandering in the wilderness of doubt and fear, not being brave enough to start out. Oh, the light of the glorious Gospel of Truth, which sets us free from this law of sin and death! Oh, the blessedness of this knowledge of the infinite Love of God!
