AC 10067 - Understanding Reciprocal Conjunction

AC 10067 [6, 8]

. . . the Divine good of the Divine love,
which is the "Father,"
was united to the Divine truth,
which is the "Son,"
reciprocally in the Lord;
and so His Human itself is Divine good.

Reciprocal conjunction . . . is not meant
that a person conjoins himself with the Lord,
but that the Lord conjoins with Himself
the person who desists from evils;
for to desist from evils
has been left to the person's decision,
and when he desists,
then is effected the reciprocal conjunction
of the truth which is of faith and of the good
which is of love from the Lord,
and not at all from person;
for that from himself
a person can do nothing of good,
and thus can receive nothing of truth in good,
has been known in the church;
and this also the Lord confirms in John:

Abide in Me, and I In you.
He that abides in Me, and I in him,
the same bears much fruit;
for without Me
you can do nothing.
(John 15:4, 6)
