"the first duty"

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!

    “You will learn that in Christian Science the first duty is to obey God, to have one Mind, and to love one another.”

    This sentence stood out to me because I grew up in Science… and yet…. I was in the dark. I had no idea what it really meant to be obedient; I had no clue about the difference between the one Mind and the human mind; and I had little understanding of what it truly meant to “love one another”. I must say that after coming here to Plainfield and getting correct teaching on Christian Science–I would even say, some much-needed “tough love”–this one short sentence in Science & Health now makes sense to me. It came alive for me; they were no longer words I just glossed over. This was a seismic shift for me and I can’t thank the teachers here enough!
