It was an awakening to understand that to be able to rebuke with Love is in obedience to that command to Love one another.

Invincible Truth is working in us if we are seeking Truth diligently. One of the most beneficial effects of this is the courage gained to Love Truth coupled with the ability to act when God directs. Prior to this greater conviction of the need to Love divinely, I only loved selfishly; I was too conscious of what someone might think or say about me because of my actions. But to love in the way we are commanded to love one another includes the ability to rebuke error and correct wrong behavior with unselfed intent. To awaken one to their folly in allowing “the deceiver” to lead them into temptation or deceive them into believing they are what God did not create; e.g. that they are a fearful sick person, selfish, depressed, greedy, egotistical, impatient, angry, irritable, proud etc., all qualities non- existent in the real man, the man God created in God’s own image and likeness.

This Truth inspired way of loving our brother, as Jesus demonstrated, in how He rebuked and corrected, in order to bring people back to what is their true being, is much needed everywhere. Christian Science gives the courage to live that way because it makes God, all that matters.
