AE 118 - The Lord Loves to Share His Good and Truth

AE 118 [2]

The spiritual affection of truth 
has no other source than the Lord, 
because the Lord is 
Divine truth in heaven and in the church, 
for Divine truth proceeds from Him. 
And as the Lord loves 
to lead everyone to Himself, 
and to save them, 
and this He can do only by 
the knowledges of good and truth from the Word, 
so the Lord loves to impart these to people, 
and make them of the person's life, 
for in this way and no other 
can He lead a person to Himself and save him. 
From this it is clear 
that all spiritual affection of truth is from the Lord, 
and that no one can be in that affection 
unless he acknowledges 
the Divine of the Lord in His Human, 
for by such acknowledgment there is conjunction, 
and according to conjunction there is reception.
