AC 4007 [4]
. . . the truth of faith does not exist with any
who believe that they have faith of themselves
and so believe that they are wise of themselves.
Rather, it exists with those who believe
that their faith and wisdom come from the Lord . . ..
There are two things which all who enter heaven cast aside,
namely their proprium and consequent confidence,
and merit that is their own or self-righteousness.
Then they assume a heavenly proprium
which comes from the Lord,
and the Lord's merit or righteousness.
