We humans try valiantly to create a material world for ourselves separate from God. Separateness is error. Error while living in what we think is a material world is what causes us to feel separate from God, but we can correct the error.
God is all. Our body, mind and spirit are part of that All. God created us in His Image and Likeness. We are the reflection of God, and God is perfect. We create the error our self by seeing our self as separate from God and material. Truth about God and our self heals, prospers, loves and corrects all errors. It is up to us to work out our own salvation or to submit to the Grace of God through Christ. Either way, God is at the center.
Jesus taught that our senses lie to us and cause us to shut out the truth. "Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" (Mark 8:18) We are to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) It is impossible to be perfect relying on our senses and the material world, which are imperfect. The world and our physical senses steel away our memory of God's perfection. While we at home in our material senses we are absent from the Lord. If we want God's perfection to be reflected in our life, we need to live without error by faith and not by sight, present with God and His perfection. (2 Corinthians 5:6-8) Our senses lie to us and the world lies to us because we are the reflection of God. It is hard to believe the truth because we are living in the world, but not impossible. With God all things are possible.
Christ humbly met all the mocking by all the people who did not see or could not hear. Christ overcame the material and the flesh and proved that God is All. We can too. Jesus said that we can do the things that he did and even greater things. (John 14:12-14) Jesus proved Truth by overcoming sin, sickness and death. Now is the accepted time. Behold now is the day of salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2) We don't have to wait for some future world to live without error in the reflection of God's perfection. We can live fully in the now, trusting in the Goodness of God right now. Because of our physical senses we trust in the material world right now, but we can live by faith and not by sight.
Now is the time because the so-called material world is the lie and it is error. God is All and God is the truth. God's substance is ever present with us here and now. God's plan is to prosper us and not to harm us. (Jeremiah 29:11) Jesus proved it time and time again and many people since Jesus have done the things that Jesus did and even greater things in His name. We can too.
Overcoming this material world of lie and error takes active, working faith that must be used and developed like we develop muscles. We develop our faith muscles the same way, by using them every day. We will have days when we feel defeated or doubtful, the same as we have days we don't feel like developing our body muscles. We persevere with developing faith muscles the same way we persevere with an exercise program to build our body muscles. We can rest between work outs, but we need to keep building up our faith muscles every day to keep them strong.
When we remove error from our life, the seed of error will no longer produce error fruit in our life. If we plant a seed for an oak tree, we know we will get an oak tree. The pattern of the Truth about the oak tree is already there in the seed.
Jesus was the great physician. He healed people by showing them they could remove error from their life. Those who believed the Truth Jesus presented were healed. Those who doubted, we not healed. Jesus healed the son of the official in Galilee who believed. (John 4:43-54) Jesus healed the paralytic who was brought to him by people who believed and the paralytic himself believed. (Matthew 9:2-8) Jesus showed people how to remove the error and understand the Truth about who they were. The Truth is that we are all created in the Image and Likeness of God and we are All part of the All, perfect. When we can remove the error, we are healed.
