AE 808 - the faith that is saving faith

AE 808 [2]
Saving faith is to believe that the Lord is the Savior of the world,
and that He is the God of heaven and the God of the earth,
and that by His coming into the world
He entered into the power to save all
who receive truths from Him through the Word,
and who live according to them.
Who those are that are able to receive truths from Him
and to live according to them
[are] those who shun sins because they are sins against the Word
and thus against God,
since by so doing a person's internal is purified,
and when this is purified
a person is led by the Lord and not by self;
and so far as a person is led by the Lord
he loves truths,
and receives them
and wills them and does them.
This faith is saving faith.
