9. VII. The sun of the natural world is pure fire, and by means of this sun the world of nature existed and subsisted.

11. IX. The spiritual clothes itself with the natural, as a man clothes himself with a garment.

577. From the foregoing it also follows, that the Lord is unceasingly in the act of regenerating man, because He is unceasingly in the act of saving him, and no one can be saved unless he is regenerated, according to the Lord's own words in John: Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:5-6).
