BE 92
There are two things which form heaven in a person, namely,
the truths of faith and the goods of charity;
the truths of faith effect the presence of the Lord,
and show the way to heaven,
and the goods of charity effect conjunction with the Lord,
and introduce into heaven.
And everyone is there introduced into light according to his affection of truth,
and into heat according to his affection of good.
. . . the affection of truth is faith in its essence,
and the affection of good charity in its essence,
and the marriage of them both constitutes the church . . ..
The church and heaven make one.
