For every man is led
through the affections by the Lord, and he thinks from these freely as
if of himself. Were it otherwise, a man could not be reformed, nor
could he be enlightened.
--_Apocalypse Explained, nn._ 1182, 1183
AN UNBROKEN ASSOCIATION
Married partners, who have lived in truly conjugial love, are not
separated in the death of one of them. For the spirit of the deceased
partner lives continually with the spirit of the other, not yet
deceased, and this even to the death of the other, when they meet
again and reunite, and love each other more tenderly than before; for
now they are in the spiritual world.
--_Conjugial Love, n._ 321
THE CHURCH
"Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will
dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God
Himself shall be with them, and be their God."
--_Rev_., XXI, 3
THE CHURCH IN GOD'S SIGHT
The Church is in man, and not outside of him; and the Church at large
consists of the men who have the Church in them.--The Church consists
of those who from the heart acknowledge the Divine of the Lord, who
learn truths from Him by the Word, and do them.
