Christian Science teaches that it is our false views of life that are at the root of our problems. It emphasizes that it is imperative that we understand the science of life. We cannot go through life in ignorance; we need wisdom and the bible teaches that God is the source of wisdom. Paul tells us that we must work out our salvation from sin, disease, and death.
It is not the will of God that we should suffer, as Jesus tells us. Then it must be our will that is causing our problems, and we must stop fooling ourselves that we can have the best of both worlds.
God is divine Principle and our lives must be governed by His laws. No one in his right mind
would try to solve a problem in mathematics by disrespecting its laws; and yet that is precisely
what we are trying to do with God, ignoring Him. Moses, the prophets, and above all, Jesus, have
given us spiritual laws or truths to prove that life is good and there is no evil in it.
The law is clear: Love God completely and our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus said, If a man loves me
he will keep my words: and my Father will love him and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Knowing the truth that God is good and that we are His perfect, spiritual expression and therefore subject to only good will operates as a law to free us from our problems. This is the prayer of faith; It focuses on the truth, not the problem.
