If someone were to ask, "How large is your income?" one would perhaps think the question presumptuous and too personal. But when considered in the light of Christian Science, the question, "How large is your income?" demands a simple, direct answer.
Each of us can reply with assurance and truth, "My income is truly abundant." Yes, our income is abundant because it is supplied by God, Spirit, who constantly pours out riches and blessings to all His children. Our income is spiritual because as the children of God we are spiritual.
If we are to understand the teachings of Christian Science in regard to income and supply, "the scientific statement of being," given by Mary Baker Eddy in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," must be thoroughly understood. In this profound statement our Leader declares (p. 468): "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual."
