"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Rom. 8:35, 37). How clearly the Apostle Paul stated the case for Truth in these ringing words. Through the love and understanding of Christ, God's spiritual idea, the conquest of evil is achieved and its unreality proved. To the followers of Christ there is one infinite God, the divine All-power, and one perfect universe and man, His wholly spiritual reflection. This truth of being, presented and practiced by Christ Jesus, is revealed to this age by Mary Baker Eddy as demonstrable Christian Science. Students of this Science, understanding God's allness, learn to conquer evil on the basis of its nothingness. This is indeed a scientific method, the efficacy of which is attested by healing signs.
Christian Science brings to light the verity that man cannot for an instant be separated from the one perfect Mind; that he cannot cease being the sinless incorporeal expression of Soul. In reality, man is not physical; nor is he the victim of famine, peril, or sword. He is an immortal idea of God, indestructible in Life. In Christian Science we learn that it is the knowing, loving, and living of this spiritual truth which makes us more than conquerors in Christ. Indicating the efficacy of this scientific, method of proving the unreality of evil through the understanding of God's allness, Mrs. Eddy writes (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 339): "You conquer error by denying its verity."
The Bible records inspiring evidences of this mighty conquest over the false belief in a power apart from God. In the days of the early disciples of Christian healing, the cruelty and malignity stemming from ignorance of God did not succeed in putting out the flaming torches of Spirit. Through their love of the Christ ideal, as presented by Jesus, the followers of Truth grew stronger in God. Their lamps of spiritual illumination burned more brightly.
