AC 3286 - Correspondence & Regeneration; AC 3286 - Old Becomes New

AC 3286 [3]

The work of regeneration is chiefly concerned
in bringing about the correspondence
of the natural person to the rational person,
not only in general,
but also in particular;
and the natural person
is reduced to correspondence by the Lord
through the rational,
in that good is insinuated into the rational,
and in this good as in ground
truths are implanted,
and then by means of rational truths
the natural is reduced to obedience;
and when it obeys,
then it corresponds;
and insofar as it corresponds,
so far is the person regenerate.

AC 3296 [2]

. . . as the Lord altogether changed
His human state into the Divine,
so also in a person,
when He regenerates him,
the Lord utterly changes the person's state,
for He makes his old person new.
