We hope you are finding answers to your questions about what Christian Science is and its practical applicability to healing challenges of all sorts including those that are physical, emotional, or hereditary.   

Christian Scientists believe in one, infinite God who is All and all-good.
They believe that God is not distant and unknowable, but that God is all-encompassing and always present, and that each individual is loved by God, cared for by Him, and made in God’s image—spiritual, not material ..

Christian Science provides answers to everyday challenges.  For example:

 • Do I have to go through illness - NO!
Christ Jesus proved that illness is not a condition that an individual needs to accept as God as good, only provides health and wholeness for His/Her children.
• If I have been mistreated by family members do I have to forgive them - YES! 
Christ Jesus reminds us to forgive our debts as we forgive our debtors.
• Can Christian Science help me overcome my drug habit or alcoholism - YES! 
Christ Jesus reminds us to rely on God, divine Love to handle all our challenges.
•  I go to church regularly, but everybody is attacking me.  Is there an answer - YES! 
Evil wants top claim it is as powerful as God, good, but Christ Jesus proved evil to be powerless.
• My coworkers pick on me, bully me, and humiliate me.  Is there an answer - YES! 
Christ Jesus proved that God, as divine Love, is the only power.  Holding to this spiritual law will bring healing, just as it did for Christ Jesus. 
• I need a job.  Can God help me – YES! 
God knows our every need and will supply it!
 

Christ Jesus stated and provided that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.  We too can experience this state of thought today!
