Whoever we are and wherever we are, the cultivation and protection of a right sense of home are vitally important. Originating in, continuing in, and controlled by divine Mind, or God, in whom is all real being, the perfect idea of home is always asserting itself. It makes an impression upon individual human consciousness as each of us is ready for it.
Consecrated Christian Scientists undertake to establish their human homes under the control of God and to safeguard themselves against the vexatious intrusions of fear, illness, delinquency, and decrepitude. For such protection they know that they must be mentally vigilant and demonstrate pure affection and goodness in every practical way.
It is the mission of Christian Science to define and demonstrate spiritual Life, Truth, and Love, and thus lift human thought and experience above a limited, discordant sense of existence. As false concepts and unwholesome traits are replaced by a diviner consciousness and a purer life, one progresses in the realization that in man's eternal dwelling place, his spiritual home, there cannot be a single element of ignorance, sin, or materiality, hence not a single aspect of precariousness to be guarded against. "In infinite Life and Love," writes Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health (p. 381), "there is no sickness, sin, nor death, and the Scriptures declare that we live, move, and have our being in the infinite God."
