Truth drives out error

August 1, 2024 | 16 comments

Truth should, and does, drive error out of all selfhood.

~ Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 538

The “selfhood” of error takes many forms.  It could be a physical body manifesting a disease, a person feeling anxiety, a businessman acting dishonestly, a politician voicing untruths.

When error appears to take on the form of a “self,” we can help conquer the evil by separating the error from the person and treating the error with spiritual truth.

God created His children to be healthy, to be at peace, to act honestly, and to tell truth.  Divine law backs up these spiritual realities, and no error of mortal mind can ever change spiritual reality.

It’s inevitable that error gives up its “selfhood” and yields to Truth.  

Truth is always at work supporting what is right.  And because Truth always has the final say, it’s inevitable that Truth drives “error out of all selfhood” leaving no more “self” for error to claim.

    1. Dear Richard
      Been there did that.
      First I knew that it wasn’t mine.
      I crawled on the floor for a month or more.
      That was in ‘85. I’ve been fine ever since.
      God will show you what material means are necessary for recovery.
      “II Timothy “ For. God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of love and power and a sound mind”.

      1. Dear David – most encouraging for a complete healing. I greatly appreciate your understanding. Greetings. Richard

    2. Bonjour Richard,
      J’ai eu de nombreuses années de gros problèmes de dos. Et puis j’ai été guidé vers la Science Chrétienne et elle m’a offert la guérison.
      Ce qui m’a sortie du rêve, c’est la compréhension que notre véritable structure est Dieu et non un dos. Qu’I, est le roc, l’appui permanent et cela a été pour moi une révélation. Aujourd’hui je suis libre et d’une infini reconnaissance pour tout ce que la Science Chrétienne offre à chacun de nous.
      I had severe back problems for many years. And then I was guided to Christian Science and it offered me healing.
      What brought me out of the dream was the understanding that our true structure is God and not a back. That I, is the rock, the permanent support and this was a revelation for me. Today I am free and infinitely grateful for all that Christian Science offers to each of us.

      1. Cher Pascale ne suis tres reconaisant de vos
        Sentimentss qui sont de grand valeur..Meilleur voeux Richard

  1. Am utmost grateful for today’s clear SpiritView. Thank you very much, dear Evan! Yes, I also will work on this for what ever it is needed!
    The 2 last passages are very comforting and healing, “It’s inevitable that error gives up its “selfhood” and yields to Truth.” A wonderfully reassuring Truth. Thanks a lot, so helpful!!!♡

  2. This statement from Science and Health stood out to me from our Bible Lesson on ‘Truth’ and I took carefull note of it. Thank you, Evan for illustrating how we can further put this into practice. Thanks, too, for everyone who contributes.

  3. Thank you so much Evan and all. The first thing that came to mind ..
    after reading these inspiring messages, is from S&H pg # 96, where
    Mrs. Eddy writes….
    “This material world is even now becoming the arena for conflicting
    forces. On one side there will be discord and dismay; on the other
    side there will be Science and peace. The breaking up of material beliefs
    may seem to be famine and pestilence, want and woe, sin, sickness, and
    death, which assume new phases until their nothingness appears. These
    disturbances will continue until the end of error, when all discord will be
    swallowed up in spiritual TRUTH”. O Happy Day!!

  4. “Truth should, and does, drive error out of all selfhood.”
    Truth should, and does, drive error out of all sense of time.
    Infinite God, Good and His Expression, the only Reality.

  5. So grateful for this post Evan, so thank you for your continuing guidance.
    I AM has to replace the material ..me ..to gain clear clarity of circumstance. Then Truth can be demonstrated. The protection of perfection….( a favourite go to thought of mine) ❣️

  6. Thanks Evan for todays lift and to all who left such encouraging comments. I find when I do not own the difficulty my claiming it as a “MY this or that, healing comes more quickly.
    Thank you everyone for your helpful comments today.
    Blessings to all
