Mortals and Immortals

Mortals and Immortals

May 11 to May 17 – Do we live as mortals limited by time and matter, or as God’s immortal idea?

In Christian Science, we discover life is spiritual, not material, and eternal.

God created us in His image! We are like Him in many ways and we are spiritual, too.

“For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”

I Corinthians 15:53

“To be immortal, we must forsake the mortal sense of things, turn from the lie of false belief to Truth, and gather the facts of being from the divine Mind.”

Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 370:2–5
