If one believes in the existence of God, there is a fundamental point he should be certain of. Do we accept without question that the God we believe in is truly good—infinite good, all good? Trusting radically in the fact and law of God's absolute goodness is essential to the successful practice of Christian healing.
The human mind, however, tends to reason from the limited perspective of what the physical senses report about reality. And this kind of reasoning—limited in its premise—can lead only to inexact conclusions about the nature of God and His goodness. Material conclusions are always without the power or constancy of spiritual truth, which alone heals.
There have of course been many human misconceptions of God, portraying Him as manlike, wrathful, changeable, capable of sending both good and evil to mankind. These conclusions may conform to the way variable material existence appears to corporeal sense. Yet they are totally at odds with what spiritual sense reveals to us about God, who is invariable Love, and about His spiritual creation, including man in God's likeness.
