Man's real existence as a child of God

My practitioner brought this to my attention, from the lesson:

13. 288
The eternal Truth destroys what mortals seem to have learned from error, and man's real existence as a child of God comes to light. Truth demonstrated is eternal life.

This feels like the next step from the verse that struck me last week:

S&H, page 550
Of what avail is it to investigate what is miscalled material life, which ends, even as it begins, in nameless nothingness?

So “what mortals seem to have learned from error” is “nameless nothingness.” Therefore the beliefs I have about myself and life are lies doing their best to prevent me from seeing my “real existence as a child of God.”

I am so grateful for this message, because before coming here the only thing that felt inevitable was that “nameless nothingness.” Now I am so blessed that Christian Science is step by step bringing me closer to what God made me.

Thank you!

I love the fact that I can't truly learn anything from error, I can only seem to, because I can't really learn something from nothingness! What seems so important or real in this world, truly isn't.

The Truth shines upon us to obliterate the (seeming) darkness. I am so grateful to have access to this Truth, to know our real existence as a child of God.

Thanks, Jeremy, for this great post!
