The Number One describes the wholeness and indivisibility of creator and creation—of Principle and idea, God and man, divine Mind and expression. Man is God's expression, and the term man refers to everyone's true selfhood. As the expression of God, we are one with God, yet we are distinct from Him as His idea. And because we are the expression of God, we can't in any way be divorced from Him. Idea dwells eternally in the divine consciousness, or Mind. The Apostle Paul saw this oneness vividly when he declared, "In him [God] we live, and move, and have our being." Acts 17:28.
The supreme demonstrator of man's unity with God was Christ Jesus. His whole mission illustrated our inseparability from our creator. Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10. This concept of abundant life embraces all aspects of human experience. By proving through his resurrection and ascension man's oneness with the Father, Jesus was showing us what is also ours to demonstrate—namely, our incontestable sonship with God, our unbreakable oneness with Him, which includes abundant good.
