AC 3245 - The Lord's Rational; AC 3249 - Charity Toward the Neighbor

AC 3245 [1-2]

The things which precede
and those which follow have regard to this fact --
that in the Lord's rational all things were made Divine.
For in the internal sense,
where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are treated of,
the subject is the Lord's Human,
and how it was made Divine.

There are two things
which properly constitute the Human,
namely, the rational and the natural;
the Lord's rational was represented by Isaac,
and His natural by Jacob;
the Lord made them both Divine;
how He made the rational Divine
is contained in what was said of Isaac,
but how He made the natural Divine
is contained in what is said of Jacob in what follows.
But this latter (that is, the natural)
could not be made Divine
until the rational had been made Divine,
for by means of the rational the natural was made so;
hence therefore it is
that by the words before us
are meant all Divine things in the Divine rational.

AC 3249

Charity toward the neighbor is nothing else
than a life according to the Lord's commandments.
