Substance

Substance

March 10 to March 16 – In Christian Science, substance isn’t material—it’s spiritual. True substance is found in God and is unchanging Love, Truth, and Life. Rather than relying on material things, we discover lasting fulfillment through understanding God as our source of all good.

…ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

Hebrews 10:34

“The reign of harmony in divine Science; the realm of unerring, eternal, and omnipotent Mind; the atmosphere of Spirit, where Soul is supreme.”

Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
