The practice of Christian Science healing has resulted in significant cures of physical, mental and personal problems for over a century. The Bible gives us a standard of healing resting on timeless spiritual laws as shown to us by Jesus Christ.

Anyone can learn and apply these spiritual scientific ideas to the demands of today and find resolutions that proves God’s goodness. We all want to be healthy, happy, and fulfilled.

We all want to feel a sense of purpose to our lives, to feel secure and valued, to love and be loved. Good health is vital whether we’re talking about our bodies, relationships, finances, or environment.

Christian Science and its healing ministry rests entirely on the affirmation from the Bible that “God is love” (I John 4:16). Those who practice it strive to live the bold, compassionate, pure, generous love that Christ Jesus embodied and taught in his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7). This is the heart of its Christianity.

Christian Science is also a science because God is understood to be unchanging Love—the infinite Principle that is constant, universal, inclusive, eternal, the only true power and source of all good. It explains the spiritual laws of Love that enabled Jesus to heal sickness and sin. This divine Science also answers our fundamental questions about evil, reality, and eternal life. And as the word science implies, it is reliable, consistent, and provable, bringing healing to individuals and humanity through a deeper understanding of God.

By understanding the complete goodness of God and our inseparability from that goodness, inspired men and women have found answers to the wide spectrum of human needs as well as transformation of character and lives. These experiences are “not supernatural but supremely natural,” (Science and Health, p. xi) as Christian Science explains. Anyone can learn and apply these spiritually scientific ideas to the contemporary demands we face and find resolution that proves God’s goodness.

This unique approach to healing has proven effective for generations of Christian Scientists, many times after a medical diagnosis indicated a condition was incurable. Christian Science healing is not faith healing, positive thinking, or self-hypnosis. It calls for Christian faith in and understanding of God as unconditionally and dependably good, to whom nothing is impossible. Its practice is Christian—living according to Jesus’ teaching and example. And its practice is scientific—living according to the spiritual laws of God that can be learned, understood, and proven through healing and regeneration.

Christian Scientists are always free to choose for themselves and their families the kind of health care that meets their needs. However, by practicing Christian Science, many have lived happy and healthy lives free of drugs and other systems of physical care.
