AC 863 - conscience, a wonderful gift from the Lord

AC 863
Concerning the understanding, or the truth of faith,
signified by a "window"
it may be observed . . . that no truth of faith is possible
except from the good of love or of charity,
as there can be no true understanding
except from what is of the will.
If you remove what is of the will,
there is no understanding,
. . . and so if you remove charity,
there is no faith;
but as the will of a person is mere evil desires,
in order to prevent the immersion
of what is of his understanding, or the truth of faith,
in his evil desires,
the Lord has wonderfully provided
that what is of the understanding
should be separated from what is of the will of a person,
by a certain medium, which is conscience,
and in which He may implant charity.
Without this wonderful providence
no one could ever have been saved.
