AC 3236 [2]
Spiritual good in a person
is in general what is called the good of faith,
and this is no other than charity toward the neighbor;
but in order that it may be charity,
it must come from the new will
with which the spiritual person is gifted by the Lord.
The spiritual truth adjoined to this good
is what is called the truth of faith,
and this is no other than that which regards charity first
as the end for the sake of which it exists;
and afterwards
as the beginning from which it proceeds;
but in order that it may be the truth of faith to the spiritual person,
or faith,
it must come from the new understanding
with which he is gifted by the Lord;
and the new understanding
must have its light from the new will.
