In Christian Science, salvation is not about being saved from sin in a traditional sense but about awakening to our true, spiritual identity as God’s perfect creation. Jesus’ life and teachings showed that salvation comes through understanding God’s infinite Love and growing in our relationship with Him.
Through spiritual growth, prayer, and Christ’s example, we are freed from sin, sickness, and limitation—experiencing true redemption and healing in our lives. Salvation is not a one-time event but an ongoing journey of awakening to God’s ever-present goodness.
Quotes about Salvation
Christian Scientists believe that salvation is here and now as the Bible states.
”Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ.”
Revelation 12:10.
Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 39:18-22.
“’Now,’ cried the apostle, ‘is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation,’ – meaning, not that now men must prepare for a future-world salvation, or safety, but that now is the time in which to experience that salvation in spirit and in life.“
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 291:12-13
“Universal salvation rests on progression and probation, and is unattainable without them.”
For Christian Scientists salvation is achieved through reform. Paul said, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Understanding Life, Truth and Love and demonstrating them in our lives, will destroy sin, sickness and death. The daily study of the Bible and the textbook, Science and Health, brings into our consciousness the power of God unto salvation.
