AE 443a - those in the first or lowest heaven

AE 443a [2]
Those belonging to this first or lowest heaven
are all obedient in doing the truths and goods
that are commanded in the Word
or in the doctrine of the church in which they were born,
or that they have heard from some master or religious teacher,
from whom they have heard that this or that is true and good,
and ought to be done.
Most of these are not in truths themselves,
but in falsities from ignorance,
nevertheless these falsities are accepted by the Lord as truths
because they have the good of life for their end,
and by this the evils that usually cling to falsities are removed
(respecting these falsities, and those who are in them,
see in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem, n. 21).
Such, then, are in the lowest or first heaven.
