Even a degree of spiritual understanding compels social awareness, responsibility, and action. An increasing understanding of Christian Science leads one naturally to expand his horizons until all mankind are included in one healing affection.
As the Christian Scientist gains a clearer and clearer realization that God's kingdom is come, that the reign and rule of Spirit is a present reality "in earth, as it is in heaven,"Matt. 6:10; entrenched hatred, envy, greed, prejudice, jealousy, are rooted out. Whatever is ungodlike in thought and life gives way to increased spiritual understanding.
Freed of befogging and limiting beliefs and convictions, thought is open to new views, to more spiritual and moral ways to resolve the manifold problems of mankind. Turning from mesmerized, willful thinking, and opening thought to divine guidance, individuals are led to take whatever human steps are necessary to improve the human condition.
