Lesson 256

W-pII.256.1. The way to God is through forgiveness here. ² There is no other way. ³ If sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to find the way to where you are? ⁴ Who would still be uncertain? ⁵ Who could be unsure of who he is? ⁶ And who would yet remain asleep, in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God created sinless? ⁷ Here we can but dream. ⁸ But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. ⁹ God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last.

W-pII.256.2. And so, our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. ² We have no goal except to hear Your Voice, and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.
