God's Will and Man's Work

Hymns: 51, 354, 183

Bible
Gen 18:25 Shall  
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Matt 6:10    
Thy kingdom come.  Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Job 23:13 he is,14    
he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

Rom 14:7 none,8    
none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

John 5:30    
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

Gal 6:3, 4 let    
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

Luke 22:42 Father    
father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Isa 26:12    
Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

Phil 2:12 my beloved,13   
my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Ps 40:8,11    
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

Acts 17:28 (to ;)    
For in him we live, and move, and have our being;

I Cor 3:6, 7 now,8 (to :),9,11 other,16,18,19 (to .),21,23    
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one:

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Let no man deceive himself.  If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.

Therefore let no man glory in men.  For all things are yours;

And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

John 4:31-34 his    
his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Matt 7:7-11    
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

I Kings 3:6 Solomon (to ,),7 O,9-12 I have given (to ;) 
Solomon said,

O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart;

Matt 6:31, 32 for,33 take    
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I Pet 5:6,7    
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

II Cor 9:8 God    
God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

Jer 32:17,18 (to ,),19,21 (to 4th ,),22   
Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands,

Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm,

And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

John 9:1-7 as    
as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent. ) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

James 1:22-24 be   
be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Ps 119:103-105    
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Prov 4:23,25,26    
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

Isa 14:27 the   
the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Luke 18:27 The   
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.


Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
17:1-3 (to .)    
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
  Enable us to know, ? as in heaven, so on earth, ? God is   omnipotent, supreme.
581:4    
ANGELS.  God's thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of goodness, purity, and immortality, counteracting all evil, sensuality, and mortality.

284:31-32    
The intercommunication is always from God to His idea, man.

84:28-9    
    All we correctly know of Spirit comes from God, divine Principle, and is learned through Christ and Christian Science. If this Science has been thoroughly learned and properly digested, we can know the truth more accurately than the astronomer can read the stars or calculate an eclipse. This Mind-reading is the opposite of clairvoyance. It is the illumination of the spiritual understanding which demonstrates the capacity of Soul, not of material sense. This Soul-sense comes to the human mind when the latter yields to the divine Mind.
    Such intuitions reveal whatever constitutes and perpetuates harmony, enabling one to do good, but not evil. 

298:13-15,19-20    
    Spiritual sense, contradicting the material senses, involves intuition, hope, faith, understanding, fruition, reality.

When the real is attained, which is announced by Science, joy is no longer a trembler, nor is hope a cheat.

114:1-11, 32-11 
    Usage classes both evil and good together as mind; therefore, to be understood, the author calls sick and sinful humanity mortal mind, ? meaning by this term the flesh opposed to Spirit, the human mind and evil in contradistinction to the divine Mind, or Truth and good. The spiritually unscientific definition of mind is based on the evidence of the physical senses, which makes minds many and calls mind both human and divine.
    In Science, Mind is one, including noumenon and phenomena, God and His thoughts.

    Apart from the usual opposition to everything new, the one great obstacle to the reception of that spirituality, through which the understanding of Mind-science comes, is the inadequacy of material terms for metaphysical statements, and the consequent difficulty of so expressing metaphysical ideas as to make them comprehensible to any reader, who has not personally demonstrated Christian Science as brought forth in my discovery. Job says: "The ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat." The great difficulty is to give the right impression, when translating material terms back into the original spiritual tongue.

345:21-30    
    Anybody, who is able to perceive the incongruity between God's idea and poor humanity, ought to be able to discern the distinction (made by Christian Science) between God's man, made in His image, and the sinning race of Adam.
    The apostle says: "For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself."  This thought of human, material nothingness, which Science inculcates, enrages the carnal mind and is the main cause of the carnal mind's antagonism.

536:10    
    The way of error is awful to contemplate. The illusion of sin is without hope or God. If man's spiritual gravitation and attraction to one Father, in whom we "live, and move, and have our being," should be lost, and if man should be governed by corporeality instead of divine Principle, by body instead of by Soul, man would be annihilated. Created by flesh instead of by Spirit, starting from matter instead of from God, mortal man would be governed by himself. The blind leading the blind, both would fall.

242:15    
    Self-love is more opaque than a solid body. In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error, ? self-will, self-justification, and self-love, ?  which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death.

125:16-17    
Reflecting God's government, man is self-governed.

442:25-32    
St. Paul says, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling:" Jesus said, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." This truth is Christian Science.
    Christian Scientists, be a law to yourselves that mental malpractice cannot harm you either when asleep or when awake.

106:6    
    Like our nation, Christian Science has its Declaration of Independence. God has endowed man with inalienable rights, among which are self-government, reason, and conscience. Man is properly self-governed only when he is guided rightly and governed by his Maker, divine Truth and Love.

23:23   
One kind of faith trusts one's welfare to others.  Another kind of faith understands divine Love and how to work out one's "own salvation, with fear and trembling." "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief!"  expresses the helplessness of a blind faith; whereas the injunction, "Believe . . . and thou shalt be saved!"  demands self-reliant trustworthiness, which includes spiritual understanding and confides all to God.

202:3    
    The scientific unity which exists between God and man must be wrought out in life-practice, and God's will must be universally done.

561:16    
    John saw the human and divine coincidence, shown in the man Jesus, as divinity embracing humanity in Life and its demonstration, ? reducing to human perception and understanding the Life which is God. In divine revelation, material and corporeal selfhood disappear, and the spiritual idea is understood.

458:23-24,25-28 The,32-3    
The Christianly scientific man reflects the divine law, thus becoming a law unto himself.

The Christian Scientist wisely shapes his course, and is honest and consistent in following the leadings of divine Mind.

    Christianity causes men to turn naturally from matter to Spirit, as the flower turns from darkness to light.  Man then appropriates those things which "eye hath not seen nor ear heard." 

18:3-9    
Jesus of Nazareth taught and demonstrated man's oneness with the Father, and for this we owe him endless homage. His mission was both individual and collective. He did life's work aright not only in justice to himself, but in mercy to mortals, ? to show them how to do theirs, but not to do it for them nor to relieve them of a single responsibility.
