RESPONSIVE READING: Romans 6
14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What hold can unreality have over reality? Or error over Truth? Or false beliefs over me, as God’s idea? None at all!

16. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Shall I serve all that is good and real, or all that is evil and unreal? Is it even a choice? Can I be unreal? No wonder I felt so empty before Christian Science. I cannot be unreal…but I certainly tried!

17. But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

By coming out of sin, even as far as I have, I know that the path is open for anyone else in thrall. How long can attempting to oppose reality bring even the counterfeits of fulfillment and joy? I know all mankind will find Truth and Love in their time of need just as I did when I was ready to listen.

22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

As I learn to serve only God, I realize that my truth is Truth, my love is Love, my principle is Principle, my mind is Mind, my soul is Soul, my spirit is Spirit, my works (my fruits) are His works, and my life is Life. To each there is no end! Why would I want to spend a lifetime lying to myself and end with nothing from my labors? How much better an eternity of being useful and full of purpose? Again…is that even a choice? As my practitioner says, “You’d have to be crazy not to want this Truth” and the more I learn about Christian Science, the more I see just how right that is! Thank you!
