Christian Science has come to the world to dissolve all evil. It may be said to be the "pure river of water of life" of which John speaks in Revelation (22:1) and which he describes as "proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb"; it is divine Love's remedy for adamantine error. When human consciousness humbly bathes in the stream of the pure teachings of Christian Science, it is cleansed of destructive, degrading beliefs and is redeemed in God's own way.
On page 242 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy writes: "There is but one way to heaven, harmony, and Christ in divine Science shows us this way. It is to know no other reality—to have no other consciousness of life—than good, God and His reflection, and to rise superior to the so-called pain and pleasure of the senses." She adds in the next paragraph, "In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error,—self-will, self-justification, and self-love,—which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death."
"To know no other reality—to have no other consciousness of life—than good" is actually to reflect the infinite Mind, or divine Love, which is too pure to behold evil and cannot "look on iniquity" (Hab. 1:13). It is to obey Paul's command (Phil. 2:5), "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." The Godlike purity of Christ Jesus manifested no other consciousness of life than good. Had it not been so, Jesus could not have instantaneously healed so-called incurable disease and inveterate sin, which dissolved before the touch of his spiritual understanding. His promise of the Comforter has now been fulfilled in the advent of Christian Science, which once again heals by the consciousness of God as Life and of man as His reflection and which helps us "to rise superior to the so-called pain and pleasure of the senses."
