AC 9286 [2] - Regeneration
. . . regeneration is liberation from hell
and introduction into heaven by the Lord;
for the person who is being regenerated
is first purified from falsities,
then the truths of faith are implanted with him
in the good of charity,
and lastly this good itself is implanted,
and when this is done
the person has been regenerated,
and is then in heaven with the Lord.
AC 9290 - Divine Truth
Divine truth is order itself in the heavens;
and truths are the laws of this order.
AC 9293 - Gifts
. . .the gifts offered to Jehovah -- that is, the Lord --
are meant such things as are of the will, or of the heart.
A person's will is what is called in the Word his "heart."
From all this it is also evident how it is to be understood
that every one will receive judgment in the other life
according to his deeds or works (Matthew 16:27);
namely, that it will be according to those things
which are of the heart,
and from this of life.
For the Son of Man is going to come
in His Father's glory with His angles,
and then He will reward each person
according to what he has done.
(Matthew 16:27)
