Why I follow Christ Jesus and Christian Science --
From a Bible Lesson written by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy:
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved -- Acts xvi.31.
The Scriptures require more than s simple admission and feeble acceptance of the truths they present; they require a living faith, that so incorporates their lessons into our lives that these truths become the motive-power for every act.
Our chosen text is one more frequently used than many others, perhaps, to exhort people to turn from sin and to strive after holiness; but we fear the full import of this text is not yet recognized. It means a full salvation, -- man saved from sin, sickness and death; for, unless this be so, no man can be fully fitted for heaven in the way which Jesus marked out and bade his followers pursue."
(Miscellaneous Writings, pp. 196, 197)
I truly believe and have experienced over many years as both a follower of our dear Master and a student of the teachings of divine Science contained in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy that one needs both, as the above text points out, to be completely saved and free as God intends.
