“Tf God be for us, who can be against us?” If God is all there is and if the universe is One, then there is no power, presence or law against the Truth. One with the Truth is a totality. But we should be careful to be on the side of Truth. If our whole endeavor is to be, and to do, that which is constructive, then we are with God and we may be sure that He is ever with us. God knows no outside. He is ever inside. The outer rim of reality is exactly at the center of itself.n6620 ¶1
Nothing can keep us from the love of God. What comfort! What joy, to know that all is well with the soul! What untold sufferings we have had because of our doubts and fears! And we are told not to be afraid, for — it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom. Man alone has tried to rob us of our birthright,—the glorious liberty of the Sons of the Most High.n6620 ¶2
Let us honor God more, and man less. Let us seek within for the cause; it can be found in no other place. There is nothing that can keep us from this inner vision of the eternal reality.n6620 ¶3
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service,n6620 ¶4
And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.n6620 ¶5
That ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.n6620 ¶6
For as we have mahy members in one body, and all members have not the same office;n6620 ¶7
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every~ one members of another.n6620 ¶8
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;n6620 ¶9
Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering ; or he that teacheth, on teaching.n6620 ¶10
Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity ;n6620 ¶11
He that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.n6620 ¶12
Let love be without dissimulation. 'Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.n6620 ¶13
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another ;n6620 ¶14
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;n6620 ¶15
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer ;n6620 ¶16
Bless them which persecute you; bless, and curse not.n6620 ¶17
Be of the same mind one toward another.n6620 ¶18
Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate.n6620 ¶19
Be not wise in your own conceits.n6620 ¶20
Recompense to no man evil for evil.n6620 ¶21
Provide things honest in the sight of all men.n6620 ¶22
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.n6620 ¶23
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath;n6620 ¶24
Pome San6620 ¶25
For it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.n6620 ¶26
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink:n6620 ¶27
For in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.n6620 ¶28
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.n6620 ¶29
Romans—T welve.n6620 ¶30
“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” To-day we know what this means. The renewing of the mind is a scientific act. As the conscious thought pours truth into the subjective channels of creative energy, the body is automatically renewed; this is mental healing. Mental healing is a conscious act as well as an established fact in the experience of many people. Instead of the old concepts of disease and failure we are to inject those of liberty, freedom, health, harmony and success.n6620 ¶31
Mental healing is subject to the exact laws of mind and Spirit, and is accomplished by correct knowing. This knowing is a mental attitude toward the Truth. It is the Truth that makes free, and it is the mind which knows the Truth. (See chapter on “Mental Healing,” Science of Mind.)n6620 ¶32
The body is healed as the inner mind is transformed; as the old and false images of thought are renewed by images of truth and life. The process through which this renewing takes place is a conscious one and may be practiced by any who understands the principle involved.n6620 ¶33
