AC 4390 [2]
The reason why good and truth are mentioned so frequently...
is that all things in heaven, and consequently all in the Lord's church,
bear relation to good and truth.
Speaking generally
these two include all things that belong to doctrine and to life;
truths, all things that belong to doctrine;
and goods, all things that belong to life.
Moreover it is a universal fact that the human mind
has no other objects than those which are of truth and good;
its understanding those which are of truth;
and its will, those which are of good.
Hence it is evident that truth and good are unutterable in number.
This is the reason why truth and good are so often mentioned.
