AC 8700 - it is according to order

AC 8700 [2, 3]
The Divine truth which proceeds from the Lord is what makes order,
and is order itself.
Consequently as everything that is according to Divine truth
is according to order,
it is possible;
and as everything that is contrary to Divine truth
is contrary to order,
it is impossible.

It is according to order
that faith and charity be implanted in freedom
and not under compulsion,
and that the faith and charity
which have been implanted in freedom, endure;
but not if they have been implanted under compulsion.
The reason is that which is done in freedom
is insinuated into the affection,
and thus into the will of a person....
