Of Good Report

Living under God’s government

From the November 2024 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We learn in Christian Science that God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. And since God is good, we would naturally expect His government to be good—to be fair and just, to express kindness, honesty, incorruptibility. 

As the Bible puts it, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25). 

So how do we experience this reality in our daily lives? We can begin by acknowledging what is true. “The starting-point of divine Science is that God, Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there is no other might nor Mind,—that God is Love, and therefore He is divine Principle,” writes Mary Baker Eddy in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. “To grasp the reality and order of being in its Science, you must begin by reckoning God as the divine Principle of all that really is” (p. 275).
