AC 3824 - Internal Truths

 AC 3824

Internal truths are said to be
conjoined with the natural
when they are learned, acknowledged, and believed.
In the natural of a person, that is, in the memory,
there are truths both external and internal,
and they are there
in the form of memorized doctrinal things;
but they have not been conjoined
until the person is affected with them
for the sake of the use of life,
that is, until they are loved for the sake of life;
for then good is coupled with them,
whereby they are conjoined with the rational,
consequently with the internal person.
In this way
there is an influx of life into them from the Lord.
