DLIFE 32, 33, 39, 31 - Loving Truths and Goods Requires Shunning Evils As Sins

DLIFE 32

There are two universals that proceed from the Lord:
Divine good, and Divine truth.
Divine good is of His Divine love,
and Divine truth is of His Divine wisdom.
In the Lord these two are a one,
and therefore they proceed from Him as a one,
but they are not received as a one
by angels in the heavens, or by people on earth.

DLIFE 33

As good and truth are a one in the Lord,
and proceed as a one from Him,
it follows that good loves truth and truth loves good,
and they will to be a one.
It is the same with their opposites:
evil loves falsity, and falsity loves evil,
and these will to be a one.

DLIFE 39

. . .  truths are the means by which
the goodness of love finds expression
and becomes real;
consequently, that good loves truths
in order to exist.
In the Word, therefore,
to do truth means to give goodness expression.

DLIFE 41

From all that has been said
it is now evident that he who shuns evils as sins,
loves truths and longs for them;
and that the more he shuns them,
so much the more love and longing does he feel,
because so much the more he is in good.
The result is
that he comes into the heavenly marriage,
which is the marriage of good and truth,
in which is heaven,
and in which must be the church.
