AC 9751 - Good; AC 9783 - Truth; AC 9787 - With the Lord

AC 9751 - Good

. . . the more celestial good is
- thus the more genuine -
so much the purer it is . . ..

Good is said to be clear when it becomes truth;
for good appears by means of truth,
because truth is the form of good;
and good does not appear in light except in a form.
The better therefore
that good is presented in a form,
the more clearly it appears,
for the result is that good itself shines forth,
even so as to affect both the understanding
and at the same time the will of others.
For as is the case with good and truth,
so it is with the will and the understanding in a person,
because the will has been appointed
for the reception of good,
and the understanding for the reception of truth;
and the will does not appear in light
except through the understanding,
for it is understanding
which gives form to what is of the will,
and presents it in clearness.
That which is formed
is as it were divided into parts,
and among these parts,
which are analytically associated together,
there are established various regards or relations.
In this manner good is
presented to view in the understanding
and is rendered clear.
When good has been rendered
clear in the understanding,
it is the truth of this good.

AC 9783 - Truth

That a "lamp" denotes faith,
is because the Divine truth
that proceeds from the Lord
is light in the heavens; this light,
when received by the angels who are there,
 or by a person,
is like a lamp,
for it illuminates all things of the mind,
and imparts intelligence and wisdom.
This light when received is faith.
But be it known that faith is not a lamp,
that is, does not illuminate the mind,
unless it is from charity;
thus unless it is charity.
The case with faith and charity
is the same as with truth and good;
truth is the form of good,
that is, it is good so formed as to appear in light.
So faith is the form of charity, or charity formed.
Moreover, truth pertains to faith, and good to charity;
for that which is true is believed,
and becomes of faith;
and that which is good is loved,
and becomes of charity.
The truth and good itself which are loved
are the neighbor,
and the love of these is charity.

AC 9787 - With the Lord

. . . with the Lord
things following and future
are together in the present,
because everything which the Lord ordains,
that is provides with a person and an angel,
is eternal.
