GOD II LOVE-
It Is reported Of . certain lawyer
that he asked the Master, "What shall
l do to inherit eternal Ife!" To thi.
the Master replied: "Thou shalt IsvS
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy
strength, and with all thy mind; a.d
thy neighbor as thyself." In theA.
words the Master linked eternal life
with love, setting down love for Go.
and man as a necessary step toward tis
attainment of eternal life. John, tn,
beloved disciple, who defined God a
Love, also stated, "He that loveth no
his brother abideth in death" Mr..
Eddy has brought out this same essen
tial connection between Life and Love
by the statement in her work eth
First Church of Christ, Scientist, an.
Miscellany" p.ls5): "Life is the
spontaneity of Love, inseparable fron.
Love-
To conceive of Love as being spsn
taneous Immediately brings the concept
of Life into thought. Therefore the con
sideration of God first as Mind, with
out an opposite mind, then as LIZ.
without life in matter, leads direetly
and inevitably to the glorious perosp
tion of God as Love, as universal m
impartial in character and incapable
of being perverted with jealousy, ~
understanding Of God as Love hunAS-
ity may rest withSS full assurance tbs.
this definition is ffkal and all inclusive
More cannot be asked of the power gos-
erning the universe, of the creator, Of
the Father r-Mother, of the ofiginal
source of all being, than is comprised
in the word Love.
Since God is Love, there is no need I,
dread the past or fear the future. Since
God is Love, sin, sickness, suffering
want and woe, apprehension and tyrar
ny, cannot be of His creation. Tkev
cannot be true, real, or essential in HIS
eternal realm. They must be mistake
illusion, error, and falsehoOd. Hence
they are not obligatory. They are 40
enforced by divine law. They arg l.
legitimate, unnatural, and abnormal
and belong to the realm of nothingnesc.
