AC 1735 - To Live in the Lord; AC 1737 - Follow Him; AC 1740 - Angels With Us

AC 1735 [1, 2]

. . . to live in the Lord,
which is never possible unless we live in His love,
that is, in charity toward the neighbor.

AC 1737

The conjunction of
the Human Essence with the Divine Essence
was procured and effected by the Lord
by continual combats of temptations and victories,
and this from His own power.
He who apprehends (understands, perceives)
the mode of the conjunction and union
in any other way is much mistaken.
By this He became righteousness.
The conjunction or union was effected
with the Celestial of Love, that is, with Love itself,
which, as before said, is Jehovah.
The conjunction of people with the Lord
is also effected by temptations,
and by the implanting of faith in love.
Unless faith is implanted in love,
that is, unless a person
by the things that are of faith
receives the life of faith, that is, charity,
there is no conjunction.
This alone is to follow Him,
namely, to be conjoined with the Lord
just as the Lord as to His Human Essence
was conjoined with Jehovah.

AC 1740

And the more of love there is for goods and truths,
the more do the angels love to be with the person . . ..
