Too good to be true?

From the November 1994 issue of The Christian Science Journal


How often we hear it said that something is "just too good to be true" or that because things are going so well, something bad is bound to happen. And who can deny that one's experience and health are directly influenced by such expectations? As Job put it, "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me." Job 3:25

It would certainly appear that life is made up of happenings and conditions that are both good and bad. Yet the Christ, revealing the timeless, irresistible truth of God and man, presents a fundamentally different concept of life as spiritual and entirely good. The Scriptures are filled with tender assurances that knowing and living the spiritual truth of being free us from the cruel effects of mortal ignorance and superstition.

Christ, Truth, reveals God, Spirit, as All and good, even perfect Love, the divine Principle of being. Reason insists that a wholly good God can express Himself only in goodness—in an entirely good spiritual universe and a wholly good spiritual man. Christly inspiration and every resulting spiritual healing throughout time have unveiled the truth that God is Spirit, the only cause, and the cause of good alone.
