The triune Principle called God

From the January 1986 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Every true name for Deity represents a momentous breakthrough in the understanding of God's oneness and allness. It's a further appearing of the deific nature as it already exists in eternity. It's the result of divine revelation, and not of human invention. It's fact, not speculation.

By reason of His infinite intelligence, God doesn't permit ignorance in Himself or about Himself. Therefore it's only divinely logical, inevitable, foreordained, that the coming of the promised Comforter—"the Spirit of truth," which Jesus said would teach us "all things"
See John 14:16, 17, 26.— would include a new name for God. A name destined to reveal not only the wholeness (the fatherhood and motherhood) of Deity but also our actual oneness with the Divine: the absolute unity of Parent and child as Mind and its idea. The advent of Christian Science signifies God's final revelation of Himself as divine Principle.

This revelation has come none too soon. Humanity hungers for unity. We all long for everything to fit together, to hold together. But all too often we're dismayed at what we see around us: broken marriages, lost jobs, ruined health, church schisms, violent crime, wars the world over and rumors of still more wars to come—all depicting a supposed state of existence separate from God, from His happiness, health, peace, and love. What ultimate validity is there to mortal life when it can crumble away at a moment's notice?
