CHRISTIAN SCIENCE reveals that all needs are met by divine Love alone, and that the law of Love cannot possibly be reversed. This means that divine Love alone performs this service, and that it is futile to look to any other cause for good. It means that God's provision for all His children is eternally present, and that we cannot be restrained from turning our thoughts to where His unfailing care may be seen and demonstrated. It means also that every possible need already is met, since God's work is done.
This religion shows that mortals misinterpret God's loving care and their real needs, because they believe existence to be material, instead of seeing that it is spiritual.
Christian Science treatment always begins from a fixed spiritual premise. It always rests on the sure foundation of the truth about God and man. Of Christ Jesus, Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 26), "His mission was to reveal the Science of celestial being, to prove what God is and what He does for man." In feeding the multitudes and overcoming sin, disease, and death, the primary purpose of Jesus doubtless was to reveal to receptive thought the truth about the unchanging, eternal Principle of all real being, and the truth about man in God's image.
