Dominion over fear

From the July 2025 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In today’s world, anxiety and fear seem to dominate the headlines. Some have termed it an “epidemic of fear.” But living in a state of fear is not really living. Christ Jesus told his followers, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). To experience this abundant life, we need to know and trust God as divine Love.  

Anxiety would unsettle us and disturb our peace. But it has no legitimate basis. The truth of God’s spiritual creation is that from the beginning man was made in the image and likeness of God and given dominion by his creator over all the earth. This includes dominion over earthly states of thought such as sin, fear, and disease. 

Anxiety has no legitimate basis.
