"By Him all things consist"

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!

    “He was before all things, and by him all things consist.” Colossians 1:17.

    CONSIST: (1828 Webster Dictionary) “To stand together; to be in a fixed or permanent state, as a body composed of parts in union or connection. Hence, to be; to exist; to subsist; to be supported and maintained.”

    That’s pretty wonderful! All of God’s creation, everything and everyone, permanently united in one body—and all supported and maintained by God. So, in Truth, our nation, and the world, cannot be ripped apart by any beliefs of selfishness, hate, war, or division of any kind. “By Him all things consist”!

    Thanks for this helpful post. The idea, “by him all things consist,” had intrigued me, but I hadn’t gone very far with it, and had found a more limited definition. Wonderful inspiration as to how it applies to our world as well.
