AC 2454 - Good Is Life According to Doctrine

AC 2454 [5]

Truth is said to turn itself away from good,
and to look to doctrinal things,
when the man of the church
no longer has at heart
what kind of a life he lives,
but what kind of a doctrine he possesses;
when yet it is a life according to doctrine
that makes a man of the church,
but not doctrine separate from life;
for when doctrine is separated from life,
then because good, which is of the life,
is laid waste,
truth, which is of doctrine,
is also laid waste,
that is, becomes a pillar of salt . . ..
