HH 318 & HH 319

HH 318
Any one who thinks from any enlightened reason can see
that no person is born for hell,
for the Lord is love itself
and His love is to will the salvation of all.

HH 319
. . . he who lives a moral life out of regard to the Divine
is led by the Divine;
while he who leads a moral life out of regard to men in the world
is led by himself.
[2] But this may be illustrated by an example.
He that refrains from doing evil to his neighbor
because it is antagonistic to religion,
that is, antagonistic to the Divine,
refrains from doing evil from a spiritual motive;
but he that refrains from doing evil to another merely from fear of the law,
or the loss of reputation, of honor, or gain,
that is, from regard to self and the world,
refrains from doing evil from a natural motive,
and is led by himself.
