" Kur God sent not his Son into the world to ronilnmn the world, but that the world through Him mieht be saved." Tobn iii 17. Its le.iding- doctrines, adapted to the use of this New Ago. arc summarised as follows—There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, ami lie. is ih« Lord Icsus Christ. .S.-iyi>iK Faith is to bi-licvo in Him. Evils are to be shunned, because they are of tin: devil and from the devil. G.jod Works oujjht to he -lone, bccauso Ihi-y arc of God and from God, and they out;ln to he done by man as of himself, but with tin: belief that they are from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute tho essem-e of Ontl—love and wisdom. And there are thru- which miiMiiuli: the essence of Hit love-to love other.-, out of Himself; to desire to bi!«no with iliom ; .ind to makethim b;ipnyfrom llimr.eli, Tlißs.imi! ilin;i! constitute thrr esjenco ol His wisdom; l.i-caiuo love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills tiicso thin((», and wisdom acromplishos them. (True Chriitian kelson, No. 43.1 Tin-, word of God is Divine truth clothed in human .'jnd adapted to the varied state's f.f the human heart, that thus a man may know God, and learn to know and do His will. "K ye continue in My word, then are ye My diiciplcs indeed." John viii. 31. "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men sheuld do unto jou: do ye eve'j so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. iMatt. vii. 8. The Ten Commandments point out what evil* are to hn shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. " That it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if cemmonly believed is evident from this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to be insincere and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need not only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himhabit, he is then by degrees conjoined to heaven ; and in so Jar as he is conjoined to heaven, tho higher decrees of his mind are opened; and in so far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as ho 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 for who is not capable from freedom of thinking in this manner ? Hut when he has made a bepnnini; all goods arc wrought in him by the Lord, and Ho causes him not only to see evils, but also not to will them, and finally to become averse to them. This is meant by the Lord's words, " -My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matt. xi. 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty ot so thinking, and likewise of resistine will 'commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length be does not see them, and afterwards loves them, and from the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies confirms them, and declares that they are allowable and good. Hut this ocenrs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils ns ifwithout restraint, and at the same time ami Hell." No. 533).
