AC 8237 - Perspective; AC 8240 - Belief and Trust

AC 8237 - Perspective

. . . evils can be seen from good,
but not goods from evil,
for good is higher
and evil is lower.

AC 8240 - Belief and Trust

And they believed.
(Exodus 14:31)

That this means faith and trust,
is evident from the meaning of "believing,"
as being to have faith, and also to have trust;
for he who has faith has trust also.
Trust belongs to love through faith,
consequently trust in Jehovah, that is, in the Lord,
is possible only with those
who are in love to the Lord and toward the neighbor,
because with others there is no faith.
