AE 328 - what the Lord taught when He was in the world

AE 328 [6-7]

"Thou didst redeem us to God in Thy blood"
(Revelation 5:9)

The primary thing is
to acknowledge the Lord,
to acknowledge His Divine in the Human,
and His omnipotence to save the human race;
for by that acknowledgment
man is conjoined to the Divine,
since there is no Divine except in Him;
for the Father is there;
for the Father is in Him,
and He in the Father,
as the Lord Himself teaches;
consequently they who look to another Divine near Him,
or at His side,
as those are wont to do who pray to the Father
to have mercy for the sake of the Son,
turn aside from the way
and worship a Divine elsewhere than in Him.
Moreover, they then give no thought
to the Divine of the Lord,
but only to the Human,
when yet these cannot be separated;
for the Divine and the Human are not two,
but a single person,
conjoined like soul and body,
according to the doctrine received by the churches
from the Athanasian Creed.
Therefore to acknowledge
the Divine in the Lord's Human,
or the Divine Human,
is the primary thing of the church,
by which there is conjunction;
and because it is the primary
it is also the first thing of the church.
It is because this is the first thing of the church,
that the Lord, when He was in the world,
so often said to those whom He healed,
"Do you believe that I can do this?"
and when they answered that they believed,
He said, "Be it done according to your faith."
This He so often said that they might believe,
in the first place,
that from His Divine Human
He had Divine omnipotence,
for without that belief the church could not begin,
and without that belief
they could not have been conjoined with the Divine,
but must have been separated from it,
and thus would not have been able
to receive anything good from Him.

Afterwards the Lord taught
how they were to be saved, namely,
by receiving Divine truth from Him;
and truth is received
when it is applied to the life
and implanted in it 
by doing it;
therefore the Lord so often said
that they should do His words.
From this it can be seen that these two things,
namely, believing in the Lord and doing His words,
make one,
and can by no means be separated;
for he who does not do the Lord's words
does not believe in Him;
so also he who thinks that he believes in Him
and does not do His words
does not believe in Him,
for the Lord is in His words,
that is, in His truths,
and by them
He gives faith to man.
