TO KNOW AS WE ARE KNOWN

From the February 1966 issue of The Christian Science Journal


WE read in I Corinthians (13:12), "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

How are we known to God? Surely as His image and likeness, as He created man. And since God is Spirit, His image and likeness must be known to Him as spiritual.

Why did Paul say, "Now we see through a glass, darkly"? Is not the darkened vision the result of accepting a material creation instead of the true spiritual one? Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health (p. 263), "When mortal man blends his thoughts of existence with the spiritual and works only as God works, he will no longer grope in the dark and cling to earth because he has not tasted heaven."
