THE fundamental basis of divine healing is the recognition of the fact that God is. It was undoubtedly the comprehension of this eternal verity that led to the discovery and founding of Christian Science by Mary Baker Eddy; and it is only by the realization of the omnipotence, omnipresence, and omniscience of God that the study and practice of this Science results in permanent healing. In the practical application of the teachings of Christian Science, it is this thought more than any other that enables even the so-called "unlearned" to be readily healed, and to be instrumental in healing others. What freedom comes to the sick or suffering when it is comprehended that God is present, never absent! Do we realize this, and think of it often enough?
Ever since mankind has given expression to thought, probably no subject has received more consideration than the question, Who, or where, or what is God? It was the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science who gave to the world in this age the most satisfying and demonstrable answer. In her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 465), Mrs. Eddy answers the question, What is God? as follows: "God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love."
All through Bible history there is a continued evidence that the more spiritually-minded were conscious of the presence and power of the one God, who could guide and protect them at all times.
