The most heartening thing about Christian Science is that it is demonstrable; it can be proved in human experience in tangible, satisfying ways. In fact, Christian Science has justification only as it is so proved through healing and regeneration. And essential to this healing is an understanding of man's nature as the spiritual reflection of the one God, who is infinite Spirit.
The Biblical account of creation in the first chapter of Genesis describes man in terms of this reflection: "God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." The writer to the Hebrews carried out this thought when he referred to the Christ as "the express image of his person" (1:3). And Paul declared (II Cor. 3:18), "We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Mrs. Eddy declares in Science and Health, "The one Ego, the one Mind or Spirit called God, is infinite individuality, which supplies all form and comeliness and which reflects reality and divinity in individual spiritual man and things" (p. 281). She also speaks of the Ego-man as being the reflection of this Ego-God.
