AE 22 - grace is the affection of truth from good

AE 22
Grace to you and peace,
signifies the delight of truth and good.
This is evident from the signification of
"grace" as being the delight of truth. . .
and from the signification of
"peace," as being the delight of the good of innocence and love . . ..

[2] In general, Divine grace is all that is given from the Lord;
and as all that is so given has relation to faith and love,
and faith is the affection of truth from good,
this is meant in particular by Divine grace:
for to be gifted with faith and love,
or with the affection of truth from good,
is to be gifted with heaven, thus with eternal blessedness.
