Get to Know God - a 28-day Project - Epilogue

30/10/2013

This is not the end, it is just the beginning!  Keep asking questions!  Here's one more:
"Question. — What is God?
Answer. — God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.
Question. — Are these terms synonymous?
Answer. — They are. They refer to one absolute God. They are also intended to express the nature, essence, and wholeness of Deity. The attributes of God are justice, mercy, wisdom, goodness, and so on."  (SH 465:8-15)


   We have just scratched the infinitesimal surface of a new point of view on how to Get to Know God.   We only explored 4 qualities for each synonym for God and there are a whole lot more!  If you wish to continue to your exploration of God in this way, here is a list of several more qualities organized under the seven synonyms for God.
If you really want to deepen your understanding of God in this way, I urge you to get the comprehensive work on this subject, Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy which can be purchased online.  Or, if you want to buy one at a bookstore and be able to chat with someone about it, check your local White or Yellow Pages listings for a Christian Science Reading Room near you.


If you just want someone to talk to about it, don't hesitate to contact me and we can continue the conversation.


Above all, have fun Getting to Know God!!

God is Truth
Day 7 – Fidelity

fidelity /fi-del-i-tee/ η: 1 strict observance of promises, duties.  2 loyalty.  3 conjugal faithfulness.  4 adherence to fact or detail.  5 accuracy; exactness:



“God’s readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation [the state of being protected from harm] is available for everyone! We’re being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now,” (The Message, Titus 2:11-12)
Contemplate the idea that God loyally, faithfully, and with strict observance adheres to imparting divine qualities without fail, or cessation, and with absolute fidelity.  Think, too, about what is indulgent in your life and how dropping that for strict adherence to expressing God-qualities might bring more fulfillment.

Awareness Exercise:  Become aware throughout your day of how you can count on certain good qualities to happen in your life.  For example, you can start with observing the certainty that each morning when you awake, there is light.  Or, you might be aware of breath, or intelligence.  Notice how you express this truth in your life.

“… the spiritual forces of divine Mind, whose potency is Truth, whose attraction is Love, whose adhesion and cohesion are Life, perpetuat[e] the eternal facts of being.” (SH 293:13-16)

Next we'll look at God is Truth:  Authenticity
