Christian Science confirms what the Apostle John recorded on the mount of revelation, namely that the spiritual creation of God, including individual man, is perpetually new. God, divine Mind, declared (Rev.21:5), "Behold, I make all things new."
Mind's creation of spiritual ideas is new, not in the sense of having existed for a short time, but in the sense of being different or distinguished from the material concept of creation. It is not new in the sense of having been brought into existence only to grow old and terminate in its turn, but new in the sense of being eternal, without beginning or end. John records (Rev. 21:1), "I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away." John's spiritual sense of the eternally new creation of Mind exposed the falsity of a creation in which matter and time are elements.
Matter and time are unreal concepts of the so-called mortal mind. Finite objects of sense, which begin and end, mortal mind calls matter; the duration between a moment of beginning and a moment of ending it calls time. None of the elements of infinite Mind, however, are finite. They neither begin nor end. Therefore, Mind's creation must be forever matterless and timeless.
