NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD

From the January 1890 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Behold what manner of Love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should he called the sons of God; and such we are."  Yes; "now are we the children of God," and with this priceless knowledge gained through the revelations of Christian Science, we advance steadily in the sense of spiritual freedom and dominion. Let us sing praises to our God, our Father! Let us know ourselves as the beloved children of Omnipotent Love and Wisdom! Let us cast our sense of being in our Fatherland!

Knowing "that we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal (without beginning or end) in the heavens," should we not fearlessly encounter and destroy the claims of error?

Though many good and righteous men have desired to see this day, never until now has the world recognized how truly is the kingdom of Heaven in our very midst. Striving to escape from hateful, sinful self, yet reckoning it an entity, mortals cry out, each in his turn, "Who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?" At this moment of mortal woe does the "Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings." At the glory of His coming God is seen to be All, and self and sin are brought to nought. God and the man of His creating, in this great flash of Light, are seen to be beyond matter's claim.
