Sep-LaborDay114

Section 1

The Bible
R omans 9:8 They (to : )
8 They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God:

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy
572:8
In Science we are children of God; but whatever is of material sense, or mortal, belongs not to His children, for materiality is the inverted image of spirituality.

Sep-LaborDay114

Section 2

I Corinthians 15:53
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

409:20
The real man is spiritual and immortal, but the mortal and imperfect so-called “children of men” are counterfeits from the beginning, to be laid aside for the pure reality. This mortal is put off, and the new man or real man is put on, in proportion as mortals realize the Science of man and seek the true model.

Sep-LaborDay114

Section 3

Romans 12:2 be
2 be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

492:3
For right reasoning there should be but one fact before the thought, namely, spiritual existence. In reality there is no other existence, since Life cannot be united to its unlikeness, mortality.

Sep-LaborDay114

Section 4

Isaiah 9:2
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

215:12
Whatever is governed by God, is never for an instant deprived of the light and might of intelligence and Life.

Sep-LaborDay114

Section 5

Matthew 5:16
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

266:27–29 (to 1st . )
Man is the idea of Spirit; he reflects the beatific presence, illuming the universe with light.

Sep-LaborDay114

Section 6

Ephesians 5:1, 8
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

288:31–1
The eternal Truth destroys what mortals seem to have learned from error, and man’s real existence as a child of God comes to light.
