“…believe on the name of the Son of God”

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know the ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

    When looking up this passage in my Spurgeon Study Bible I found this commentary which I found most helpful, “…Every person who believes in the Son of God has eternal life. We may not doubt this. It is not a matter of inference and deduction but a matter of revelation from God. We are not to form an opinion about it but to believe it, for the Lord has said it. It is right for a child of God to know that God is his Father and never to have a question in his heart as to his sonship. It is right for soul that is married to Christ to know the sweet love of the bridegroom and never to permit a cloud of suspicion to come between himself and the full enjoyment of Christ’s love.”

    “Believing-Firmness and constancy; not a faltering nor a blind faith, but the perception of spiritual Truth” (S&H pg.582)
