BIBLE, PROBATION, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Probation After Death:
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8).
Enoch--By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; . . . For before his translation he had this testimony, the he pleased God (Hebrews 11). Universal salvation rests on progression and probation, and is unattainable without them (Eddy, 1906, p. 291).
crucifixion--There is a cross to be taken up before we can enjoy the fruition of our hope and faith (Eddy, 1906, p. 9).
resurrection--If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain (I Corinthians 15).
ascension--After the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God (Mark 16).
demonstration--Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12). Every step towards goodness is a departure from materiality, and is a tendency towards God, Spirit (Eddy, 1906, p. 213).
enlightenment--Now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light (Ephesians 5).
