Truth's Bounty

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!

    Romans 11:34-35
    “For who hath known the mind of the Lord: or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?”
    I pondered this last verse the past few days, and finally looked in Dummelow to see what was given there. He explains it as: “His bounty is unmerited.” Webster defines unmerited as “given without service.” To me this meant that we are given Truth freely, bountifully, before we have even given service to God. What a comforting thought! It is always there for us to use, in every situation.
    Thank you for these lesson-sermons — they are wonderfully inspiring.

    Thank you for your post. This however makes me ask myself that if so much is given me am I showing my genuine gratitude by obeying these:

    1st Mark 12:29-31
    29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
    30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
    31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

    2nd Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

    It feels to me that the more I obey the above the more I feel the spirit of the great bounty that awaits us all.

    Absolutely! With bountiful giving from God, comes dutiful gratitude and obedience to His Law. Did not mean to imply anything less. Thanks, Florence.
