The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 155 155. Because all good and truth are from the Lord, and nothing of them from man, and because good from man is not good, it follows that merit belongs to no man, but to the Lord alone. The merit of the Lord consists in this, that from his own power He has saved the human race, and also, that He saves those who do good from Him. Hence it is that in the Word, he is called "just" to whom the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=155 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 203 203. All regeneration is effected by the Lord, through the truths of faith, and a life according to them. Baptism therefore testifies that the man is of the church, and that he can be regenerated: for in the church the Lord is acknowledged, who alone regenerates, and there also is the Word, which contains the truths of faith, by which regeneration is effected. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=203 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 213 213. From these things it is evident, that when man partakes of the bread, which is the body, he is conjoined to the Lord by the good of love to Him from Him; and when he partakes of the wine, which is the blood, he is conjoined to the Lord by the good of faith in Him from Him. But it is to be known that the conjunction with the Lord by the Sacrament of the Supper, is effected with those alone who... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=213 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 298 298. FROM THE ARCANA COELESTIA. The Divine was in the Lord from His very conception. The Lord had the Divine from the Father (n. 4641, 4963, 5041, 5157, 6716, 10125). The Lord alone had Divine seed (n. 1438). His soul was Jehovah (n. 1999, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025). Thus the inmost of the Lord was the Divine itself, the covering* was from the mother (n. 5041). The Divine itself was the Lord's... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=298 The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Teaching - From Things Heard from Heaven: Preceded by a Discussion of the New Heaven and the New Earth 316 316. Priests ought not to claim to themselves any power over the souls of men, because they do not know in what state the interiors of a man are; still less ought they to claim the power of opening and shutting heaven, since that power belongs to the Lord alone. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=njhd§ion=316 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 4 4. In confirmation of this, I shall in this first chapter merely adduce passages from the Word which contain the expressions "that day," "in that day," and "in that time;" in which, by "day," and "time," is meant the Lord's advent. In Isaiah: It shall come to pass in the futurity of days that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be est... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=4 Teachings for the New Jerusalem on the Lord 35 35. vi. By successive steps the Lord put off the human taken from the mother, and put on a Human from the Divine within Him, which is the Divine Human, and is the Son of God. That in the Lord were the Divine and the human, the Divine from Jehovah the Father, and the human from the virgin Mary, is known. Hence He was God and Man, having a Divine essence and a human nature; a Divine essence from the... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ld§ion=35 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 40 40. That good loves truth and wills to be conjoined with it, may also be illustrated by comparison with food and water, or with bread and wine. Both are necessary. Food or bread alone effects nothing in the body in the way of nourishment; it does so only together with water or with wine; and therefore the one has an appetite and longing for the other. Moreover in the Word "food" and &quo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=40 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 47 47. There are many things that appear to be mere matters of faith, such as that there is a God; that the Lord, who is God, is the Redeemer and Saviour; that there is a heaven and a hell; that there is a life after death; and many other things of which it is not said that they are to be done, but that they are to be believed. These things of faith also are dead with a man who is in evil, but are li... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=47 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 96 96. A man who fights against evils cannot but do so as of himself, for one who does not fight as of himself does not do so at all, but stands like an automaton that sees nothing and does nothing, and from evil he is continually thinking in favor of evil, and not against it. But be it well known that it is the Lord alone who fights in a man against his evils, and that it only appears to the man tha... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=96 Teachings about Life for the New Jerusalem: Drawn from the Ten Commandments 110 110. The concupiscences of evil that constitute the interiors of man from his birth can be removed by the Lord alone. For the Lord inflows from what is spiritual into what is natural; but man, of himself, from what is natural into what is spiritual; and this influx is contrary to order, and does not operate into the concupiscences and remove them, but shuts them in closer and closer in proportion... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lf§ion=110 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 47 47. I have spoken with Melancthon, and then asked him concerning his state; but he was not willing to reply. Wherefore I was informed of his lot by others, which is that he is alternately in a fretted stone chamber, and alternately in hell, and that in his chamber he appears clothed in a bear's skin on account of the cold, and because of the uncleanness there he does not admit newcomers from the w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=47 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 54 54. I have spoken, but only once, with Calvin; he was in a society of heaven, which appears in front, above the head; and he said that he did not agree with Luther and Melancthon about faith alone, because works are so often named in the Word, and the doing of them commanded, and that therefore, faith and works ought to be conjoined. I heard from one of the governors of that society, that Calvin w... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=54 Continuation on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World 55 55. What Luther's lot is, shall be told elsewhere, for I have often heard and seen him. Here, I shall only say, that he has often wished to recede from his faith alone, but in vain; and that therefore, he is still in the world of spirits, which is midway between heaven and hell; where he sometimes suffers hard things. ... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=clj§ion=55 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 12 12. The common people in Christendom have an idea that God is a Man, because God in the Athanasian doctrine of the Trinity is called a "Person." But those who are more learned than the common people pronounce God to be invisible; and this for the reason that they cannot comprehend how God, as a Man, could have created heaven and earth, and then fill the universe with His presence, and ma... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=12 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 29 29. Love together with wisdom in its very essence is in God. This no one can deny; for God loves every one from love in Himself, and leads every one from wisdom in Himself. The created universe, too, viewed in relation to its order, is so full of wisdom coming forth from love that all things in the aggregate may be said to be wisdom itself. For things limitless are in such order, successively and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=29 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 45 45. He who by exercise of thought is able to grasp the idea of and to comprehend, Esse and Existere in itself, can certainly perceive and comprehend that it is the Very and the Only. That is called the Very which alone is; and that is called the Only from which every thing else proceeds. Now because the Very and the Only is substance and form, it follows that it is the very and only substance and... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=45 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 198 198. From all this it can clearly be seen that the Divine, which is substance in itself, that is, the one only and sole substance, is the substance from which is each and every thing that has been created; thus that God is the All in all things of the universe, according to what has been shown in Part First, as follows. Divine Love and Divine Wisdom are substance and form (n. 40-43); Divine Love a... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=198 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Love and Wisdom 328 328. By man, to whom uses have relation, is meant not alone an individual but an assembly of men, also a society smaller or larger, as a commonwealth, kingdom, or empire, or that largest society, the whole world, for each of these is a man. Likewise in the heavens, the whole angelic heaven is as one man before the Lord, and equally every society of heaven; from this it is that every angel is a man... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dlw§ion=328 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 155 155. I. MAN IS LED AND TAUGHT BY THE LORD ALONE. This flows as a universal consequence from all that has been set forth in the treatise THE DIVINE LOVE AND WISDOM; from what is there shown concerning the Lord's Divine Love and His Divine Wisdom in the First Part; concerning the Sun of the spiritual world and the sun of the natural world in the Second Part; concerning degrees in the Third Part; con... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=155
