Christian Science & Love
The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science is Love.
– Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science
Jesus’ example
Christian Science is based on the words and works of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Bible is our guide.
Jesus said, “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,…. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
Mary Baker Eddy talks about her discovery of Christian Science
For three years after my discovery, I sought the solution of this problem of Mind-healing, searched the Scriptures and read little else, kept aloof from society, and devoted time and energies to discovering a positive rule. The search was sweet, calm, and buoyant with hope, not selfish nor depressing. I knew the Principle of all harmonious Mind-action to be God, and that cures were produced in primitive Christian healing by holy, uplifting faith; but I must know the Science of this healing, and I won my way to absolute conclusions through divine revelation, reason, and demonstration. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 109:11-22
The revelation consists of two parts:
- The discovery of this divine Science of Mind-healing, through a spiritual sense of the Scriptures and through the teachings of the Comforter, as promised by the Master.
- The proof, by present demonstration, that the so-called miracles of Jesus did not specially belong to a dispensation now ended, but that they illustrated an ever-operative divine Principle. The operation of this Principle indicates the eternality of the scientific order and continuity of being. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures 123: 19-29
His [Jesus’] proof of Christianity was no form or system of religion and worship, but Christian Science, working out the harmony of Life and Love. Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 26:30-32
And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful just and pure.

“CHURCH. The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle.
The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.” – Mary Baker Eddy
