AR 157
For spiritual life,
which properly speaking is what life is,
is not a matter simply of worship,
but of what is present in the worship,
and present in it must be
Divine truths from the Word.
Then when a person lives those truths,
there is life in his worship.
That is because the outward expression
takes its quality from what lies within,
and the inner constituents of worship
are truths having to do with life.
. . . people not engaged in the life of heaven
cannot endure the light of heaven,
which is Divine truth
emanating from the Lord as the sun there.
Still less can they endure the warmth of heaven,
which is Divine love.
