AC 3519 [5, 6]
. . . all in heaven are protected by the Lord
through states of innocence . . ..
. . . Jehovah or the Lord cannot appear to anyone,
not even to an angel,
unless the one He appears to is in a state of innocence;
and therefore as soon as the Lord is present with anyone
he is let into a state of innocence;
for the Lord enters through innocence,
even with the angels in heaven.
On this account no one can come into heaven
unless he has somewhat of innocence . . ..
HH 341
. . . innocence is a willingness to be led by the Lord
and not by oneself.
