AC 7902 - When Truth is Purified From Falsity; AC 7910 - Those Who Are In the Lord

AC 7902

. . . truth is said to be purified from falsity
when the person is capable
of being kept by the Lord
in the good of innocence.
Innocence consists in acknowledging
that in oneself there is nothing but evil,
and that all good is from the Lord;
and also in believing
that a person does not know or perceive
anything from himself,
but from the Lord,
thus also the truth which is of faith.
When person is in this state,
then falsity can be removed from him,
and truth can be instilled by the Lord.
This state is what is meant by the unleavened things,
and also by the eating of the paschal lamb.

AC 7910

. . . be it known that with those who are in the Lord,
that is, who are in the life of faith and charity,
good dwells in the interiors,
and the more interiorly it dwells with them,
the purer and the more heavenly the good is;
but truth dwells in the exteriors,
and the more exteriorly it dwells with them,
the more is truth widowed from good.
The reason is
that a person as to his interiors is in heaven,
and as to his inmosts is near the Lord,
but as to exteriors he is in the world;
and so it is that the truths which are of faith
enter by an external way,
but good by an internal way,
also that the appropriation of truth
is effected in the interiors where good is.
