Life is eternal.

Time to pull out the secret weapon. The main issue, the end all and be all. And as you will see it is by no means some "secret weapon" at all, but it is fact, and lives have proven it, now it's time for you and me to prove it.

And we do this with the little things.
We prove this fact, “Life is eternal,” through practical demonstration relating to the little lies (and what sometimes seem big lies) that we each face today. We accept the challenge to prove the ultimate, by living the fact in our moment to moment existence.

What you face today, whatever problem, no matter how seemingly large or small, is your opportunity to prove the fact of existence, Life is eternal.

"Life is eternal." That's it. That is the fact. That is the truth. And that is the truth for all time and eternity

King James Bible

"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."

What lasts? What endures? Suffering? No, suffering does not last forever. Disease and sickness? No, disease doe not and cannot last forever. Matter? No matter is not eternal, but temporary and fleeting. Discord, conflict, fear, doubt, worry, mistrust, pain, disease, death? Nope, all are temporary.

Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy:
324:32 “ Jesus said substantially, "He that believeth in me shall not see death." That is, he who perceives the true idea of Life loses his belief in death.”
426: “ If the belief in death were obliterated, and the understanding obtained that there is no death, this would be a "tree of life," known by its fruits.”

It is comical, tragic, and very revealing that every attempt to discredit our Saviour, Christ Jesus, was built upon lies, false witness, and witnesses that had been paid for and had their own agenda.

It is equally comical, but also tragic and revealing that attacks on the credibility of Mary Baker Eddy, and the message of her discovery, Christian Science, are all based on already refuted lies, rehashed misstatements, and self-serving remarks of critics.

The proof is in the pudding.

Matthew 7:20 “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”

The fruit of Life is life, not death. The fruit of Life is harmony, not discord or disease. The fruit of Life is life harmonious, (See page 495 in Science and Health).
“Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious—as Life eternally is—can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not.”

And this could actually be thought of as the punch line for this week’s Bible Lesson on Everlasting Punishment, “Of course punishment is not everlasting, because only God, Life is everlasting.”
