Christian Science healing is a deeply spiritual approach to health and well-being based on the teachings of the Bible and the example of Christ Jesus. So why don’t more people practice it?
One reason is that the study and practice of Christian Science require discipline, focus, and commitment. Healing through Christian Science is not a quick fix or passive process—it’s an active, prayer-based approach to life rooted in the teachings of Christ Jesus. It invites individuals to turn wholeheartedly to God, divine Love, for guidance, healing, and transformation.
As the Bible encourages, “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord” (II Corinthians 6:17). Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, echoes this call in her healing textbook:
Wherefore Christian Scientists must live under the constant pressure of the apostolic command to come out from the material world and be separate.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 451:2-4
Christian Science calls for a shift in thought—from fear to faith and understanding, from dependence on matter to trust in God, divine Love. That can feel unfamiliar at first. But as one begins to glimpse the power of God’s care and the reliability of spiritual truth, healing naturally follows.
In today’s world, with its distractions, doubts, and material pressures, it may feel easier to rely on conventional methods or to lose focus on spiritual growth. But the spiritual system of Christian Science healing is always available—open 24/7—to those seeking a higher sense of life, health, and peace.
Through dedicated study of the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, many people have found healing from illness, stress, addiction, and despair. These aren’t just historical accounts—they’re happening now, in everyday lives across the globe.
