AC 9841 [4]
Truths of faith from love
are truths which love dictates,
which derive their being from love.
These truths are living,
because the things which are from love are living.
Consequently the truths of faith from love
are those which treat of love to the Lord
and charity toward the neighbor,
for these are the truths which love dictates.
The whole Word is the doctrine of such truths;
for in its spiritual sense
the Word treats solely of things
which belong to the Lord and the neighbor . . ..
It is from this that the Word is living.
