Fearless Being

From the March 1969 issue of The Christian Science Journal


There is nothing quite so reassuring as working out the problems of a human sense of existence through the study and application of Christian Science. Whatever problem may arise, Christian Science enables us to challenge it with dominion and fearlessness. Dedication is demanded to bring human thinking and living into alignment with true being, but this work can be done joyously. We can know with assurance that in the degree that consciousness reflects God, good, healing inevitably follows.

Too often we approach daily life with an underlying sense of fear. Even the fear that certain problems are unsolvable may haunt us. But the fearless sense that Christian Science bestows comes in the measure that identity is acknowledged as God's reflection, dependent solely upon Him for existence.

The gnawing fear that haunts human beings originates in the supposititious belief that health and well-being are dependent upon the physical body and human circumstances. When we think that our peace is at the disposal of materiality and subject to the instability of matter, we are beset with fear. But in the degree that being is understood spiritually God's law is acknowledged as supreme and matter is brought under the control of divine Mind.
