DIVINE HEALING VERSUS PHYSICAL DIAGNOSIS

From the October 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


More and more frequently people are asking, "What is Christian Science?" Its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy, in answer to the question, "How would you define Christian Science?" says, "As the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony" (Rudimental Divine Science, p. 1).

The law of God is ever active and irrevocable. It is fact and not theory. It has the "certainty" which the writer of Proverbs mentions (22:19-21): "That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth?"

Healing in Christian Science is divine healing. It comes direct from God and has no connection with matter and its methods. This Science enables the honest seeker to understand God aright and to utilize the law of God, infinite good. Because God is omnipresent and omnipotent, disease has no origin or activity, and it has no history with which to perpetuate itself.
