The destruction of sin is the divine method of pardon. Divine Life destroys death, Truth destroys error, and Love destroys hate. Being destroyed, sin needs no other form of forgiveness. Does not God's pardon, destroying any one sin, prophesy and involve the final destruction of all sin? Sin makes its own hell, and goodness its own heaven. The way to escape the misery of sin is to cease sinning. There is no other way. (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker... Eddy, p.339:1; 196:18; 327:1213 (to 2nd .))

... why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: ... Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 14:10, 13 why; 12:20 (to :), 21) This is an excerpt from this week's Bible Lesson on the subject: Everlasting Punishment.

If honest, he will be in earnest from the start, and gain a little each day in the right direction, till at last he finishes his cou...rse with joy.

Be watchful, sober, and vigilant. The way is straight and narrow, which leads to the understanding that God is the only Life. It is a warfare with the flesh, in which we must conquer sin, sickness, and death, either here or hereafter, certainly before we can reach the goal of Spirit, or life in God.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
