Mary Baker Eddy, in her definitive work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, includes a profound proclamation known as “the scientific statement of being.” Read at the end of every Christian Science Sunday church service, this statement of God’s supremacy declares in part, “All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all” (p. 468).
The amazing fact of God’s allness was quite a revelation to me. As a child, I loved God but was never quite sure of His nature. Since starting to study Christian Science, I have learned to worship God as all-power and all-presence. This perception has brought about a great change in my thinking and resulted in many healings.
When we realize that God is All, good things occur—including healing. This understanding puts our trust totally in God. We move away from a matter-based sense of things and begin to exercise our native spiritual sense. Embracing God as All positions thought to see everyone made in His image and likeness.
