AC 8397 - And They Journeyed

. . . movements do not mean movements,
nor journeyings, journeyings;
but changes and successions of states.

AC 8399 - Good Before & After Regeneration

The good that is from truth
is the good that is in the spiritual person
before regeneration,
for he then does good from truth,
that is, because it has been so commanded,
consequently from obedience;
whereas the good from which is truth
is the good which is in the spiritual person
after regeneration,
for he then does good from affection.
The former good is meant by "Sin,"
the latter by "Sinai."
