NJHD 11-12
All things in the universe,
which are according to Divine
order,
have relation to good and truth.
There is nothing in
heaven,
and nothing in the world,
which does not have relation to
these two;
the reason is, because both good and truth
proceed
from the Divine
from Whom all things are.
So it appears that there is nothing
more necessary for a person to know
than what good and truth are;
how the one has
respect to the other;
and how one is conjoined to the other.
But
such knowledge is especially necessary
for the person of the
church;
for as all things of heaven
have relation to good and
truth,
so also have all things of the church,
because the good
and truth of heaven
are also the good and truth of the church.
It is on this account
that a beginning is made from good and
truth.
