Living by the rules

From the January 1995 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Life without rules. Sounds ideal? You might imagine a world where no one tells you what to do, a world where you're free to go where you like and do what you please. Would a rule-free world really be as blissful as we might imagine? Do rules actually get in the way of living a happier, freer life?

Rules designed to keep us from having or doing that which is truly good certainly would be undesirable. In fact, they'd be just plain wrong!

No such rules come from God, the one lawmaker, who is Love and who is all good. Well, then, what kind of rules do come from Him? Rules that produce good, produce health and happiness.
