This post explores why the Children of God are all in One and should be Peacemakers.

Children of God and Brotherly Love

In Deuteronomy 6:5, we learn the truth, *Love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind, and love your neighbour as yourself.*
We can love God because God first loved us, and we are able to love our neighbour in the Christian sense only because God first loved us.

Psalm 133:1 The psalmist sings, *How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity!*
Those who truly live in unity with their brothers have a constant source of joy.

MBE says, in SH 340:21 *The one, infinite God, the good, unites people and nations; establishes the brotherhood of man; ends wars;*
The enemies of unity are envy, gossip, accusations, fault finding, and lack of love. Psalm 133 by McDonald: https://bible.by/mcdonald/19/132/

St.Paul in his epistle to Galatians 3:28 underlines clearly for the whole humanity,
*There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.*
Barclay interprets this Bible’s verse here https://bible.by/barclay/55/3/ thus
“When we are grateful for God’s grace and clothe ourselves in Christ, then, and only then, will we all be one. Not human strength, but only God’s love can unite a disunited world.”

True Brotherhood of man is established in the individual consciousness of a person and does not depend on the establishment of Truth in the consciousness of all humanity.
In the Miscellany 281:10, the MBE also proclaims, *On the statement “On earth peace, good will among men,”* the brotherhood of all peoples is established;

One God, One Mind, and “Love thy neighbour as thyself”— this is the basis through which the infinite God, goodness, Father-Mother Love, is ours, and in divine Science we are His.
MBE confirms this in her healing book Scзence Health with key to the Scriptures 467:11-13 *As the fact of loving one’s neighbour becomes manifest, humanity will improve, wars will cease, and true brotherhood of man will be established.*

MBE confirms that idea if unity thus in SH 518:14-18,
*The rich in spirit help the poor in spirit in one, great brotherhood, for all share the same Principle, or Father; And blessed is the man who sees his brother’s need and supplies it, finding his own benefit in the good of another.* (to order this book you can on the page RESOURCES on this sight online or the Paperback)

If the capacity for love is developed within us, we cannot help but love our brothers.
Brotherly love is based on the feeling that we are all one. Differences in talent, education, and knowledge are not considered; the key here is the identity of the human essence, common to all people.

Brotherly love is love between equals. As people, we all need help. Love for the helpless, love for the poor and the stranger — this is the beginning of brotherly love.

Let each of us answer the question, *Is it obvious to us *to love all mankind*?
In Science and Health 336:28-30 MBE answers that question with confidence. *God and man are not the same, but in the order of divine Science, God and man coexist and are eternal.*

The Christian Science Creed states 497:13-15, *We acknowledge Jesus’ atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man’s unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; *

The Christian idea of God and man is based on love.
Starting from this perspective of unity with God, we can stand firm and yet be merciful; we can be strong and yet meek and compassionate.

Who are the children of God?

The Apostle Paul declares to the Galatians, *you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;* The other words Children of God are joint heirs with Christ.
Likewise MBE explains in SH, *The perfect man was in due time discovered and known as Christ Jesus.*

Rom. 8:14 as,16,17 (to 3) Paul explains who the children of God are:
*as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God , and joint heirs with Christ.*

All people are children of God in the sense that they owe their lives to Him.
It is like a student being led by a teacher in the learning process, a traveller by a guide, and a warrior by a leader.

Their privilege is that they are children of God, accepted into the family of God through adoption, recognized and loved by Him as His children.
The apostle strives to draw us closer to God. Since not all children are heirs, he shows that we are both children and heirs. Thus, Paul says, the Holy Spirit himself is a witness that we have been adopted into the family of God. We begin a new life with God and become heirs.

Here is a testimonial from the Christian Science Journal that answers this question: that peacemakers are called sons of God.
*Create Peace* 1986 by Katherine Kimbro

On the way home from school, Patty did not want to laugh or sing. His mother asked, “Tell me what
happened?” Patty burst into tears and said, “Charlie keeps saying bad things about me at school.”
Mom told Patty how Jesus Christ taught his disciples: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.”

But Patty wasn’t sure he could relate well to Charlie. Then Mom said,
“Another name for God is Truth. What is true about a child of God will protect you. God, the Truth, keeps His children safe.”
“What do you mean?” Mom replied, “What if someone said you had green hair? What if they said it for a whole year? Would it be true?”
“No,” Patty giggled. “It will always be a lie.”

“So the truth never changes.
If Charlie tells a lie, it can’t hurt you or ever be true. But you can still love Charlie.
A child of God doesn’t want to hurt anyone, and Charlie truly is a child of God, just like you. And God the Truth knows what to say to each of you,” Mom said.

Soon, the teacher at school seated Charlie at a different table. Things improved. But a few weeks later, Charlie hit Patty. Patty didn’t hit him back. But at home, he cried, saying, “When will this healing finally come?”

A blessed thought came to Mom. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.” She told Patty, “You and I still need to know that Charlie is a child of God, even though it seems like he isn’t. No matter how someone acts, we can love. We can forgive. That’s what makes peace.”

That same day, Charlie’s mom called and apologized for Charlie hitting Patty. She said she’d talk to Charlie. Charlie apologized to Patty. And he truly regretted it, because he had been good to Patty ever since.
At the end of the school year, Charlie gave Patty a note. It said, “I’m glad we’re friends.” Patty thought, “I’m glad I’m a peacemaker.”

Are we peacemakers?

The following article describes clearly that God being Love is Our Life.

Let us Witness – God Is Life

One afternoon our friend, my wife, and I went to see a musical performance in Melbourne . On arrival there, we asked two ladies where the entry was, and we went towards it. Walking down from an asphalt slope, we suddenly heard an alarming noise behind us. When we turned around, we noticed that one of these ladies had fallen, sustaining a deep cut on her forehead.

The wound was bleeding heavily. She asked if she could see a doctor, and her friend and I assisted her to stand up. However, she became pale and was unable to keep herself standing. We sat her down on nearby stairs.

She closed her eyes and at that moment it seemed to me that her body became lifeless, and I realized that she had lost consciousness. As the situation was urgent, someone called an ambulance. A strong suggestion that came to my mind first was that she was slowly passing away.

As I am a student of Christian Science, I had a heartfelt desire to assist her. The idea that God is our life came into my thought. In her healing textbook “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures“ (on this site on page RESOURCES you can order this healing book to read online or as Paperback).
Mary Baker Eddy writes, “Mortal man will be less mortal, when he learns that matter never sustained existence and can never destroy God, who is man’s Life.”

These spiritual truths inspired me, and I was able to mentally refuse the aggressive suggestion of death, vigorously uttering to myself, “NO!” Based on principles of prayer what I knew to be true for everyone, I said to that lady with confidence and all my love, “God is your life!” Soon after that, her eyes opened, and I helped her to sit. She looked straight at my eyes without speaking a word.

Denying what the physical senses were informing me, I felt the need to repeat to her “God is your life!” In the same moment, her face changed, her eyes illumined with light and her life seemed to be coming back to her body. She said to me twice, “Thank you. You’ve helped me.”

Although her wound was still bleeding, she looked much stronger and even reminded us to go to the concert with her. A few minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and they only needed to clean her wound. I told the two attendants what had happened.

She was fully conscious and, when she was asked her name and address, she was able to tell the details without any problems. The medical staff thanked me, and drove away. After this accident, we were still in time for the concert, and enjoyed it so much.

What the true values are?

This incident strengthened my understanding of why we should keep our thoughts clear and uplifted. It illustrated to me how good it was that I did not accept in my own mind the worldly temptation to accept seeming pleasure in material well being.

It was evident to me that keeping my mind high and pure blessed a stranger in an emergency.
The truth in one of Paul’s letters, “…godliness with contentment is great gain”(1 Tim.6: 6) resonated in my mind also.

That experience proved to me again what the true values are in my life. I realized even more that, in order to be satisfied and happy, I should always cherish or maintain in my mind only pure and clear thoughts which come from God when I turn to Him with all my heart.

It came clearly to me that to reach the harmonious state of divine Mind, I should watch my own thinking and become aware of the existing divine harmony and peace within myself. That incident on a sidewalk reassured me once more that I do not have to be a witness to anything, really, anything at all, that is not coming from God, who is omnipresent good and from whom only good can come.

Let us learn more about absolute faith in God’s power and a spiritual understanding of His unselfish love (not a blind faith)

Metaphysical Health (аs published in the Christian Science Russian Herald edition, 2000)

My life experience has made me think that some healings occur in a very short period of time, while others demand perseverance, patience, persistence and being firm in our faith in God.

That sincere faith in God or Good helps us overcome difficult moments in our earthly experience, but often because of ignorance of divine wisdom, we are helpless to see the end of our calamities. When human will governs our faith, we suppose that we stand firmly on the ground and fulfil the Word of God. But actually we start feeling moral weariness and even dissatisfaction.

All these negative qualities only discourage us mentally and we become victims of our own erroneous beliefs. It is useful to keep in mind a spiritual fact of the Discoverer of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy: “…man’s extremity is God’s opportunity”.

In a complicated situation, our positive thoughts often strengthen our faith that seems tired from delayed expectations. But often blind faith does not bring a fruitful outcome. When we start to recognize, apprehend and manifest the laws of the Christian Science, a good result comes into our life immediately, not in the uncertain future.

There is a story in the Bible about a woman and her son from Shunem. When the woman’s son passed away, she refused to accept that news as an actual fact. As a result of that, a prophet’s prayer raised her son. In proportion to our recognition of the truth in Christian Science that we live, move and have our being in divine Mind where only harmony reins, all discords or miasmas will become less evident in our mind first and then in our life, too.

When we perceive unreality of all discords in the Kingdom of Harmony, those inharmonious events have not any power over us. Then we are able to experience God’s grace and love right now. The author of Psalm 46 affirms this fact in the line, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

In her healing book “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures“ Mary Baker Eddy writes, (here you can order this book as the paperback or to order to read it online)-
“The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,- a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfish love”. (Science and Health 1:1-4).

So, absolute faith in God’s power and a spiritual understanding of His unselfish love (not a blind faith) are the spiritual qualities which lead us towards the purification of our mind. Meditating and praying on those spiritual truths liberates our mind from past fears, doubts, and old beliefs.

Then we experience a joy of healing from any kind of infirmity or sickness. Patience, persistence and love of God play vital parts in the mental progress of purification and bring a joy of gladness. In his letter, St. Paul asks all followers of Christ to “pray without ceasing”.

A seed sown in rich soil will appear in a certain time, although we are not able to see its growth underground. Likewise, a demonstration of patience and perseverance points to the knowledge from God that the divine Principle is always in action, although we cannot materially see that law either. Just as moisture and light are required for the growth of the seed, we also need a sip of living water. This sip of water is the Truth of God which restores inner peace, reassures us in difficult situations and above all inspires and animates our life.

The following example illustrates perfectly the necessity of constancy and persistence in prayer to obtain an harmonious effect. A few years ago my wife noticed of a lump under her breast.

We did not deal prayerfully and seriously with this situation straightaway. After some time, the lump began to increase in size and my wife began to be fearful. Those moments of fear and doubt were so discouraging and did not help keep up her spirit. We tried to realize that we have only spiritual substance and therefore matter – or that lump – did not and could not have any reality or power over the pure and true thoughts on which we focused.

During some time, these affirmations of Truth brought peace and comfort to my wife, who wholeheartedly trusted in the healing power of God and my heartfelt prayers. However, when the lump continued to grow, at the same time her fears increased, and some painful sensations appeared. Fearful thoughts prevailed, so she expressed a desire to remove the growth by a surgical operation.
That news did not make me happy and I expressed an idea that only God can perform surgery without any side effects. But what decision to take I put totally into God’s hands. And soon my wife decided to continue trusting only in God’s power.

For about seven long months, I steadfastly purified my consciousness through prayerful affirmations, in order to be free from any manifestations of fear. I kept clear in my mind that my wife is God’s child, totally free from all fear and doubt.

The principles of prayer that I’ve learnt through the study of Christian Science healing were so helpful to me. I meditated on the truth which Jesus claimed: every branch which brings not fruit should be cut off and destroyed, I understood clearly that there was not any place for imperfection in the harmonious spiritual body where we all exist.

One evening my wife asserted the truth about her spiritual being with unwavering faith and spirit. The next morning the growth started to drain without any effort or pain. That procedure passed without any blood or pain and only a small hole reminded us of where the lump had been. Even that vanished during the following few days. My wife and I wholeheartedly glorified God’s power and love for us. We were so grateful for that life lesson, which we both experienced.

So, as fresh water gives strength to a traveler in the wilderness, likewise the living power of the Word of God purifies our mind and body. When we steadfastly dwell on the consciousness of happiness and harmony, all our worries and disappointments disappear, as a mist melts away under sunshine!

What Are Spiritual Principles For Healing?

How spiritual principles for healing restore health and harmony? Explore spiritual healing prayers which demonstrate physical and mental health.

It is already well-known fact that the most affordable health care system is based on spiritual prayers or divine principles described in the Bible’s sacred messages. The essence of spiritual prayers may be found in God’s spiritual laws. They are eternal and practical when we contemplate on them and apply them daily.

As we have a desire to grow spiritually or demonstrate the power of Spirit over the matter in our everyday activities, ideas and truths reveal themselves from the Bible and from the healing book “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy. Here you can order the book as the paper back as well as to read online for free.

In that healing textbook we find the way to our freedom from the discords of any kind. Thus firmly accepting and obeying the God’s spiritual laws in our hearts and minds helps our human beliefs and knowledge to yield to the supreme, all-knowing Mind.

Focusing our consciousness on spiritual truths, recognizing, and maintaining them steadfastly in our thoughts as the only true ones which we should follow, liberates our minds and consequently bodies from any disharmony.

Spiritual Prayers and Principles in Christian Science Healing Treatments

• God is the only creator of the universe, including man; “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3“And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them.” Jer. 25:6
• God, being divine good, made All-in-all that He made was good; “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Gen. 1:31
• God is eternal Spirit or Mind, so all things created by Him are spiritual; “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24“By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;..He spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.” Psalm 33:6
• The real man is not made of matter but of Spirit, and man was made only good; “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.” Gen. 1:26
• NEVER be afraid of any medical diagnoses or any mental suggestions that are negative. God is omnipotent Love which dissolves any fear; “Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage.” Joshua 10:25“There is no fear in Love; but perfect Love casteth out fear.” 1 John 4:18
• ALWAYS be grateful to God for His wondrous works. “To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.” Ps. 30:12“O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.” Ps.136:26

Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, reminded her followers to obey God’s spiritual laws or commandments and follow Christ Jesus in all his words and deeds. She said, “Keep in mind the foundations of Christian Science — one God and one Christ.” Miscellany 191:11

We feel joy and happiness when we clearly realize that the spiritual prayers for healing based on God’s spiritual laws, described in the Bible, are so pure and powerful that they cannot be belittled or diluted by any human educated knowledge, dogma, theories or traditions.

Only by acknowledging in our hearts moral and ethical laws, we are enabled to regain health and harmony, as it was during Jesus Christ’s time. We are able to prove for ourselves the practicality of Christian spiritual prayers for healing.

Explore how Bible scriptures on healing and the healing power of Mind restore health of mind and body

Faith in God or Alternative Systems of Health

During my last few years of study at the university, I discovered that I could digest only small amounts of food and take very little water. The condition started after I was advised that some food I had eaten was tainted. This made me very afraid that I might unknowingly eat other tainted food.

So whenever I had something to eat, this fear that it was tainted would come to me. Then I would feel an unbearable pain in my stomach and could not retain what I had eaten. I tried different medical treatments, including hospitalization, but they didn’t bring me any relief.

As my condition worsened, I became interested in various methods and therapies of alternative health treatment, products and care to improve my physical health. Despite my diet, physical and mental yoga exercises, meditation, and other alternative health care methods, I continued suffering.
Once when I was taking alternative health treatment in some of the medical institutions, I met an experienced doctor who lovingly said that although he could not help me medically, he could tell me something that would bring my physical health back to normal.

Faith in God in the Scriptures

My doctor, whom I totally trusted, told me that if I would have a faith in God, everything would be possible, including my spiritual healing. Even though we were living under communist rule, it was dangerous even to speak of religion, this doctor was unafraid because he had had so many experiences of God’s care saving his life.

Having grown up under an atheistic government, I was far from any religious background. So it was not easy for me to seek and find a strong faith in the healing power of God. As I had no other choice, I believed what the doctor said to me with all my heart. The doctor explained to me why having faith in God is so important to restore my physical health and harmony. In order to have faith in God, he advised me to explore the sacred Bible scriptures on faith and healing.

This wasn’t easy. As I have lived at that time under the communist government, even mentioning the word “Bible” or “God” was banned. Finally, through my interest in the banned yoga and different practices, I was able to connect with people who smuggled Bibles from overseas to the churches behind the Iron Curtain.

When I purchased the Bible on the black market, I got deeply absorbed in the truthful inspired Bible scriptures. The spiritual ideas in the books of Proverbs, Psalms and New Testament were particularly meaningful to my heart, and my faith in the healing Bible scriptures and the power of God began to grow. I felt immediate improvement in my physical health.

Though I believed in the power of God, it was a blind faith – without understanding. I felt strongly that my long wait healing from God was on the way. But my hidden fears of breaking some material laws, such as eating food that wasn’t fresh or might be going bad, or fear of catching a virus or cold still had a place in my thought. Whenever I ate something, which I felt was not absolutely perfect, I suffered.

Through absorbing and meditating the scriptures in the Bible on healing my faith in the healing power of prayer strengthened. My love and faith for the Bible helped me overcome many difficult situations in that period of my life though my physical health was still greatly affected by my fears.

I kept to a strict diet, did physical and mental yoga exercises, meditation, and applied alternative therapies to improve my general health, but I was under constant fear. I truly believed that if I trespassed material laws, my stomach would suffer or I would catch flu or some other sickness.

I spent eighteen years studying the Bible scriptures and searching for ways to improve my physical health through the Bible’s inspired messages. At last I felt that the healing power of God was more than the power of my faith or hope. I started feeling more and more that my hope in God, which before depended on my blind faith, IS “a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

Around this time, the Nuclear disaster took place, and I was living with my family in the disaster zone. With two small children, my wife and I were concerned about the effects of radiation. Also, the political situation there was very unstable. So we decided to immigrate to Australia.
After we were settled there with our two little girls, I continued to search for healing to be free from any kind of infirmity. To satisfy my spiritual hunger, we visited many different church services, but neither body nor soul were satisfied with those beliefs and we continued our search for truth.

Christian Spiritual Healing – Divine Mind

Once during discussions with my English tutor about God and His omnipotent power, she introduced my wife and myself to the Christian Science teaching. She invited my wife and me to attend a church service, and during that service I instantly recognized and accepted the truths that the Readers were presenting.

I saw clearly in my mind and heart that the spiritual ideas they were reading from the Bible and Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy were not contaminated by any human theories, creeds, traditions and so on. After the service, I was advised to obtain a copy of the healing book Science and Health.

Although I had some questions about how Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures could be a key to the Bible, I purchased a copy. (To order this healing book you can on the page RESOURCES to read online r the Paperback).

At the same evening my wife read one of the testimonies in the “Fruitage” chapter of Science and Health in which someone told of being healed of a similar condition.

Through the inspired truths of Christian Science and my deep study of the Bible scriptures, I started to realize that in a harmonious universe–which is governed by God or divine Principle–there is no place for any moral or physical law that could give reality to disharmony or disease.

In proportion to my growing spiritual understanding of the truth that “the power of Christian Science and divine Love is omnipotent” and that “it is indeed adequate to unclasp the hold and to destroy disease, sin, and death,” my physical health improved.

Gradually I realized that divine Mind emanates and expresses only harmony and health, and we can experience that harmony if we allow His pure and high ideas to be present in our consciousness. No disharmony or disease could be expressed through me as I am spiritual, made in God’s likeness. It follows that I can express only good thoughts that come from the one divine Mind.

Through the years of my spiritual adventure to find a healing through alternative systems or health treatments, I have found that without having faith in God it is impossible to please God.

Christian spiritual healing or Christian Science claims with divine authority and proofs that to get permanent healing I needed also to understand God correctly. My digestive problems instantly disappeared when I replaced my incorrect beliefs about food with an understanding that my being is the reflection of the divine healing Mind, which cannot suffer.

I also learned that everlasting Love is good and the only Cause. So then my body is the reflection of that good spiritual Cause: omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient Mind. These spiritual truths healed me, and I have been free of that disease for many years.
