AR 937 - the process of conjunction

AR 937 [2-3]
. . . the Lord is present with everyone according to faith,
and is conjoined according to love.
Faith, and consequently the Lord's presence
are given through the knowledges of truths from the Word;
especially concerning the Lord Himself there;
but love and consequently conjunction
are given through a life according to His commandments,
for the Lord says:

He that has My commandments,
and does them,
he it is that loves Me;
and I will love him;
and will make an abode with him.
(John 14:21-24)

But how this is done shall also be told.
The Lord loves everyone, and wills to be conjoined to him,
but He cannot be conjoined as long as the person is in the delight of evil,
as in the delight of hating and revenging,
in the delight of committing adultery and whoredom,
in the delight of robbing or stealing under any form,
in the delight of blaspheming and lying,
and in the lusts of the love of self and the world;
for everyone who is in these
is in companionship with the devils who are in hell.
The Lord indeed loves them even there;
but He cannot be conjoined with them,
unless the delights of those evils are removed;
and these cannot be removed by the Lord,
unless the person examines himself that he may know his evils,
acknowledges and confesses them before the Lord,
and wills to desist from them, and thus perform repentance.
This the person must do as of himself,
because he does not feel that he does anything from the Lord;
and this is given to a person,
because conjunction, that it may be conjunction,
must be reciprocal,
of a person with the Lord, and of the Lord with a person.
As far therefore as evils with their delights are thus removed,
so far the Lord's love enters,
which, as was said, is universal towards all;
and person is then led away from hell, and is led into heaven.
This a person must do in the world;
for such as a person is in the world as to his spirit,
such he remains to eternity,
with the difference only,
that his state becomes more perfect, if he has lived well;
because he is not then clothed with a material body,
but the spiritual lives in a spiritual body.
