AE 86 - Abide in Me.

Jesus said, Abide in Me, and I in you.
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you,
you shall ask whatever you will,
and it shall be done unto you.
Abide in My love.
If you keep My commandments,
you shall abide in My love.
He that abides in Me, and I in him,
the same bears much fruit;
for without Me you cannot do anything.
(John 15:4-10)

AE 86
. . . so far as the Lord is received in faith and in love
so far as He is in a person,
and so far as He is in a person
so far He removes evils,
thus the hells and eternal death.
This the Lord alone does . . ..

. . . the only means whereby
a spirit can be formed and constituted for heaven
is receiving the Lord in faith and love;
for the Lord alone, by His presence in faith and love with a person,
removes evils, and forms a person into an image of heaven,
which is an angel.
