AC 3762 - the truths of love

AC 3762 [2]
These truths (the truths of love),
that relate to charity toward the neighbor
and to love to the Lord,
must be learned
before it is possible for a person to be regenerated;
and must also be acknowledged and believed;
and insofar as they are acknowledged,
believed, and implanted in the life,
so far the person is regenerated . . ..
They are first implanted (in the natural)
through instruction by parents and teachers;
next from the Word of the Lord;
and afterwards
through the person's own reflection about them . . .
but still not acknowledged, believed, and implanted,
unless the life is in accordance with them;
for in this case the person comes into affection,
and insofar as he comes into affection from life,
so far these truths are implanted in his natural . . ..
