Humanity in general loves fair play. Instinctively it resists and rebels at that which savors of unfairness, injustice, or oppression. This tendency towards goodness in human consciousness is based upon and impelled by the Christly quality of justice. Mrs. Eddy points out the metaphysical scope of this quality in her statement (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 391), "Justice is the moral signification of law." Continuing, she uncovers the false claims of its seeming opposite thus: "Injustice declares the absence of law."
One may with profit view and consider the healing work of Christian Science from the standpoint of justice versus the false claims of injustice. Particularly is this true because of the inseparability of spiritual law— through which healing is accomplished—and justice, as defined by our Leader.
Law in its highest sense is God's will. His creative mandate is orderly, lawful, imperative, irresistible. Any so-called law, unjust in result, is not from God and is no part of His creating. "The absence of law" is not a fact or condition, but is always illusion. Illusions, regardless of their seeming character, are subject to replacement by the positive spiritual qualities which accompany true law and signify justice.
