TCR 461 [5]
In a word, a person is an organ receptive of life from God;
consequently, so far as he refrains from evil, he is a recipient of good.
The power to refrain from evil the Lord gives to every person,
because He gives him the power to will and to understand;
and whatever a person does from his will in accord with his understanding,
or, what is the same,
from freedom of will in accord with reason of the understanding,
is permanent. It is by means of this
that the Lord brings a person into a state of conjunction with Himself,
and in that state reforms, regenerates, and saves him.
