Do you and I really understand Paul's dynamic statement, "Behold, now is the day of salvation"? II Cor. 6:2;
Do we know that every time we read this statement it is true for us at that moment? It does not apply only to the time it was first written by him. For our relationship with God as His spiritual creation is a present one. It exists in the eternal now. The terms "past" and "future" imply the passage of time, and although some may think of eternity as a never-ending progression of years, it is not. Christian Science explains that eternity is the ever-present now. Mrs. Eddy states in Science and Health, "Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time is no part of eternity." Science and Health, p. 468;
Because our relationship with God as His expression is a harmonious, eternal reality, inharmony has no past, present, or future. To accept inharmony as real in the many forms it assumes—including hatred, dishonesty, evasion, and distrust—is foolish. All around us is God and His creation.
