" I 4 or God sent not Ms Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the w'.rld through Him might be saved." John iii Its loading doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Age. are summarised as follows—' _ There is one God, in whom is a Divine Irinityof Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of the deviJ and from the devil. Good Works ought to be done, because they are of God and from God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that thev arc from the Lord, operating in him hy him. Ihercare two things which constitute the es of Gad—love and wisdom. And there are thre- which constitute tha csscnce of His love to love others out oUd|H>e)f; to desire to be one with them ; and them happy from mmseh, the same three constitute the essence oj His wisdom ; because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. (True Christian Religion, No. 43.) lhc word of God is Divine truth clothed in human language, and adapted to the varied states of the human heart, that thus a man may know God, and learn to know and do His will. *1 ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." John viii. 31. " Therefore ' ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto >on: do ye evc« so unto them ; for this ' S iu G *r W a " d tI,C l ,ro P' ,c|s ' Matt. vii. 8. Ihe len Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that man may attain eternal life. 1 hat it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if commonly believed is evident from this—that when anything presents itself that ono knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need not only think that it ought n°t to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms him> self so to think, and from custom derives the habit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so far as he is conjoined to heaven, the liigner degrees of his mind arc opened; and in so far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as he sees these evils they can be shaken off, for it impossible that any evil can be shaken off until it be seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; lor who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? But when he has made a beginmng all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, and He causes him not only to scft evils, but also not to will thein, and finally to becomcaverse to ithem. 'Ibis is meant by the Lord's words, y yoke is easy and My burden is light." *'• 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty oi so thinking, and likewise of resisting I evils, increases in proportion as a.'man from the I uili commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not see them, and afterwards loves tbcra, and from the delight of love cxcuscs them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. But this occnrs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into eviN as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—(" Heaven and Hell," No. 533}.
