Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Christian Science demonstrates that the patient who pays whatever he is able to pay for being healed, is more apt to recover than he who withholds a slight equivalent for health." (Mis. 300:29–32). Gratitude for God’s “unspeakable gift” greatly strengthens the success of our prayer.
What Christian Science treatment is and what it is not:
- Christian Science treatment is an awakening from the dream of life in matter to an understanding of God, Spirit as the only Life eternally. Since we all reflect perfect Spirit, health is our natural state and cannot be lost. As thought is purified and regenerated, and fear is eliminated, the physical manifestation is wholeness. "Healing morally and physically are one." (Mis. 300:32).
- It is NOT "mind over matter"—praying to get rid of something or to get something. It is NOT "faith cure", giving only temporary or uncertain relief. It is permanent, reliable.
- It involves NO human, material or medical opinions, treatment, or supplement, but instead heals entirely and exclusively from a spiritual basis.
- Permanent healing in Christian Science requires unwavering obedience to God's laws—loving God and His laws with all our heart, soul, strength and mind, instead of loving body, the material world and self; and loving our neighbor, including even seeming enemies, as Christ Jesus demonstrated.
- Christian Science is not only therapeutic but also preventative and enables patients to “be their own physician.” (SH 144:27).

“The power of Christian Science and divine Love is omnipotent.
It is indeed adequate to unclasp the hold and to destroy disease, sin, and death.
