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 6 – Integrity

integrity /in-teg-ri-tee/ η: 1 the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished.  2  a sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition.  3 the underlying principle of good morals and ethics; soundness of moral character; honesty.  


 “Before time itself was measured, the Voice was speaking.  The Voice was and is God.  This celestial Word remained ever present with the Creator; His speech shaped the entire cosmos.  Immersed in the practice of creating,
all things that exist were birthed in Him.  His breath filled all things with a living, breathing light—Then God surveyed everything He had made, savoring its beauty and appreciating its goodness…” and all Creation was done; it was complete. (The Voice, John 1:1-4 & Gen. 1:31)
Contemplate the idea that God’s work, - Her Creation, - is beautiful, good and complete.  Now compare that Creation with the world you see around you.  How are they similar?  How are they different?

Awareness Exercise:  Notice how what’s different about “the world” compares with the presence or absence of the qualities you’ve been exploring for the past 5 days.  Now, being aware of things and/or situations that good qualities seem to be absent from, fill your thoughts about them with good qualities.  Has anything changed?  If so, notice how and make note of it.


“ … rejoice in the small understanding [you] have already gained of the wholeness of Deity, and work gradually and gently up toward the perfect thought divine. This meekness will increase [your] apprehension of God, because [your] mental struggles and pride of opinion will proportionately diminish.  (Unity of Good, by Mary Baker Eddy 5:3)


Tomorrow we will take a look at God is Truth:  Fidelity
