TCR 72, 73 - laws of order

TCR 72 [2], 73[2-3]
. . . almighty God is order itself,
and that there are myriads of laws of order,
as many in fact as there are truths in the Word,
and God cannot act contrary to them,
because if He did so,
He would be acting against Himself,
and so not only contrary to righteousness
but contrary to His own omnipotence.

The laws of order assigned to a person are
that he should acquire for himself truths from the Word,
and think about them in a natural way,
and, so far as he is able, rationally,
thus equipping himself with a natural faith.
The laws of order on God's side then are
that He approaches the person,
fills the truths with His Divine light,
and so fills the person's natural faith,
which is merely factual knowledge and strongly held opinion,
with the Divine essence.
Thus, and only thus, does it become a saving faith.

It is similar with charity; but let me briefly give some examples.
God's laws prevent Him from forgiving anyone's sins,
except to the extent that the person
in accordance with his laws
refrains from committing them.
God cannot spiritually regenerate a person,
except in so far as the person
in accordance with his laws regenerates himself naturally.
God is constantly striving to regenerate and so save people,
but He cannot achieve this
unless the person prepares himself to receive God,
and so smooths the way and opens the door to Him.
