Complete Salvation Through Christ

Complete Salvation Through Christ.
Concerning the diyino Christ there is
among. men much conflict OF opinion. Most
Christians believe He was the Son Of God
and was dicinely commissioned: that His
mission was 10 preach tho gospel Of reform
and regeneration, TO SGT forth the way and
OF His mediatorial ntonenlcnt II is ne.
lieved that incidentally lie did many mighty
works IL is also affirmed that He is tho
only Messiah, or sayior. and That His way is
the only way Of salvation.
Christian Scientists believe ell this and
yet their sense Of Christianity differs from
vas and rs divine; is our Savior Mes
siah; is The Way and we can prove II
We are confident that when this way is
scientifically understood and becomes scion
tiacslly operative. it will manifest its saw
ing efficacy by transforming the race.
We believe that Christ Jesus was tho rep
was the yoice Of wisdom and Intelligence,
and that lie knew more about God man.
and the universe than all other people com.
bined. We believe He came 10 do the will
Of God and to fulfil law. What God, and
what law? The God that is good and whose
law is the law Of life. health harmony and
holiness We believe Hc came ''to seek and
20 save that which was lost. and that He
found the sinner and the sick man We
believe that lie came to destroy the works

Christ as a Healer.
Unless He was destroying the works OF the
devil when Ue healed the sick, there must
have becn time when Ho was not in the
fulfllment OF His mission. for He gave
much attention to the euro of disease and
part. of His works. We believe this
healing was natural and lawful; tina, all His
works wcTc done in exquisite accord with
the eternal law OF changoless God. Wo
ence through Mrs. Eddy removes the ministry
Of Jesus from the realm Of mystery and
brings i, within the range o. law, order and
scientific modus operandi Wo believe
the; God and His Christ are too wise TO be
unlawful or to procure or induce or make
use Of that which is in ocntruvention OF
lew. We believe that the unlimited divine
volition docs not need TO upset or undo
any natural law in order 20 no good
We believe that the Christ ministry is an
object lesson in demonstration OF tho inn
miuent ever-svailable power OF Spirit, God,
to destroy evil We believe that Jesus
manifested tho supremacy OF spiritual low
which is the law OF life, and its power
the fictitious Law Of sin and death.
An Unmysterious Salvation,
Christian Science teaches that this proof
the deeds, the achieved results. the mighty
worSs-is 10 illustrate the way OF salvation,
and that Christian salvation is for tho sick
As well tho sinner. All this is dif-
icrent from the belief that lis work was
miraculous, meaning that it was mysterious
and in the way OF Intervention OF of violation
OF law and nature.
Jesus never iuimated that His work was
mysterious. On tho contrary, Be indicated
