The great cry of mankind is for completeness. Some feel that good health brings it. Others seek in security, companionship, and peace of mind their answer. But Christian Science shows completeness to be an actuality which can be demonstrated now through the scientific understanding of man's eternal oneness, as God's reflection, with all good.
Few persons would deny the completeness of God. He has been accepted by those who acknowledge Him as the supreme, infinitely good Being, who lacks nothing. How, then, can we doubt the completeness of man, who the Scriptures declare was made "in the image of God" (Gen. 1:27)? Does not the self-completeness of God actually assure the self-completeness of man as God's expression? Yes, man in God's likeness necessarily is perfect, whole, entire, needing nothing.
Christian Science makes comprehensible and provable man's already established spiritual identity as God's likeness by revealing God to be Mind and man to be the idea, or image, of Mind. Speaking of God's creation, Mary Baker Eddy says (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 502, 503), "This creation consists of the unfolding of spiritual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite Mind and forever reflected." And she adds, "These ideas range from the infinitesimal to infinity, and the highest ideas are the sons and daughters of God."
