The Bible says that “God is love” (I John 4:16). God’s love is at the core of Christian Science. Mary Baker Eddy wrote that “Divine Love is the substance of Christian Science, the basis of its demonstration, yea, its foundation and superstructure.” Those who practice Christian Science do their best to live the bold, generous, and compassionate love that Christ Jesus laid out in his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7). This is the heart of its Christianity.

Christian Science is also a science because it’s based on God as infinite Principle as well as unchanging Love. God loves all of us unconditionally and is the only true power and source of all good.  Christian Science explains the spiritual laws of Love that Jesus relied on to heal sickness and sin.  These laws are reliable and can be proven. People are doing the same kind of healing today as they learn more about what God really is.

Christian Science Practitioners

Sometimes an individual might feel overwhelmed by the challenges facing him or her and might even doubt his or her ability to heal the situation the way Jesus did. For this reason The First Church of Christ, Scientist, keeps a directory of Christian Science practitioners, who can support that individual through prayer. You can find the directory at https://directory.christianscience.com/
