![]() In other words, we are punished by our sins, not for them. We can choose behavior that produces an undesirable effect in our lives, thus creating hardship or suffering. The original meaning of sin was simply to "miss the mark" of spiritual perfection. Unity believes that Jesus’ call to, “follow me,” and his assurance that, “these and greater things shall you do,” are central to his message that we are all called to awaken to, and to manifest, the Christ Consciousness within us. ![]() Jesus is the great example of the Christ in expression. In Unity, we use the term Christ to mean the divinity in humankind. Jesus is the master teacher of universal truths and is our Way Shower. Jesus expressed his divine potential and sought to show us how to do that, too. The more we awaken to our divine nature, the more fully God expresses in and through our lives. Our purpose is to express our divine potential as realized and demonstrated by Jesus and other master teachers. Our essential nature is divine and therefore inherently good. We are each individual, eternal expressions of God. In Unity, some other ways we name God are Life, Light, Love, Substance, Principle, Law, and Universal Mind. In God, we live and move and have our being. God is divine energy, continually creating, expressing and sustaining all creation. God is the one power, all good, everywhere present, all wisdom. God is Spirit, the loving source of all that is.
