Christian Science teaches us the unity of man with God—teaches us that man and the universe proceed from Spirit and are spiritual. This means that all the objects of creation can reflect only God’s harmony and perfection, and that anything that does not reflect divine harmony is erroneous. Nothing less than perfection can come from God, Spirit, Life, Love, Truth. As the Bible says, “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. . . . And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” (Genesis 1:27, 31).
God, Spirit, is the only foundation. The understanding and consciousness of this truth drives away error, evil, and brings healing. Why? Because an understanding of Truth is the light that dispels mistaken perceptions of ourselves and of the world.
Christ Jesus taught this, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). And he proved it through his healing works.
