AC 5897 - remains are the goods and truths stored up by the Lord for our salvation

AC 5897 [5]
... a person is continually among evils and falsities,
and is held in captivity by them....
The external person, when separated from the internal,
is altogether in these,
and therefore unless the Lord were to gather up the goods and truths
which as occasion offers
are insinuated into a person during the progress of life,
the person could not possibly be saved,
for without remains there is salvation for none.
