AE 444 - charity and spiritual affection

AE 444a
Charity, itself, viewed in itself,
is the affection of truth and good,
and where that affection is,
there is a life according to truths and goods . . ..

[3] Love and charity are the spiritual affection of good and truth . . ..

AE 444b [10]
. . . those who are in the spiritual affection of truth
do the Word
and teach the goods and truths of the church,
for the spiritual affection of truth is what does and teaches,
since it is into that affection that the Lord flows,
doing the good with a person
and teaching the truth with him . . ..
