DLIFE 56 & 57 - Lord's presence in His Ten Words, which are the commandments of the decalogue

DLIFE 56 & 57
So great a power and so great a holiness existed in that Law
for the further reason that it was a complex of all things of religion
for it consisted of two tables
of which the one contains all things that are on the part of God,
and the other in a complex all things that are on the part of man.
The commandments of this Law are therefore called the "Ten Words,"
and are so called because "ten" signifies all.

As by means of this Law there is a conjunction
of the Lord with man
and of man with the Lord,
it is called the "Covenant," and the "Testimony,"
the "Covenant" because it conjoins,
and the "Testimony" because it bears witness,
for a "covenant" signifies conjunction,
and a "testimony" the attestation of it.
For this reason there were two tables,
one for the Lord and the other for man.
The conjunction is effected by the Lord,
but only when the man does the things that have been written in his table.
For the Lord is constantly present and working,
and wills to enter in,
but man must open to the Lord in the freedom which he has from Him;
for the Lord says:

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock;
if any man hear My voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with Me.
(Revelation 3:20)
