God is the one and only self-existent, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving Supreme Being. Apart from Him there are no real beings, creatures, or things. God alone exists at the standpoint of causation. Consequently, He is the one and only cause and creator. God produces and preserves all realities, and these realities coexist with God and are perfect and eternal.
God must be and is ceaselessly, eternally, completely expressed. As the infinite cause and creator, God is forever expressing Himself. This He does by producing, preserving, loving, blessing, and governing His eternal, indestructible, complete, and perfect creation. God is Spirit. Consequently, His entire creation is spiritual; and the beings He produces, loves, and preserves are spiritual. God is eternal, self-existent, infinite Life. He is divine Love. In expressing Himself as eternal, limitless Life and Love, God naturally and inevitably causes all of His beings and creatures to live forever.
When Mary Baker Eddy discovered Christian Science, she perceived these facts. She explains them in her published writings. She proved them to be facts when, by relying upon them, she healed the sick and raised the dying. She saw that an understanding of these divine facts inspired, comforted, empowered, and protected those grand workers whose lives, words, and works are recorded in the Bible.
