The following declaration from John's first epistle is both inspiring and comforting: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God." The truth of this statement does not depend upon any particular epoch, creed, or race for its fulfillment. It bridges time with the perfection of eternity, supersedes mere material opinions with spiritual reality, and rests on the unshaken foundation of God, Spirit.
Although there may be many mortals who are entirely ignorant of these words and their true import, yet there is in the individual human consciousness an inherent desire for a more reasonable explanation of existence than has been and is being presented by the schools of medicine, theology, and physical science. To the queries of the how, when, and what of existence, Christian Science offers to the receptive and humble thought satisfactory answers.
The Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, reveals the absolute truth about God, man, and the universe in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the textbook of Christian Science. This book not only iterates and reiterates the true concept of God and His creation, but likewise points out logically the fallacy of material conjectures about existence. And the student of this Science soon learns that an understanding of this is necessary for the accomplishment of his salvation.
