" For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 17. Its leading doctrines, adapted to the use this New Age. ara summarised as follows—• there is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saving Faith is to believe in Him. Evils are to_ he shunned, because they are of the devil 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 they are from the Lord, operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are thre» which constitute the essence of Hi» love—to love others out of Himself; to desire to be one wilji them ; and to make them happy from Himself, The same three constitute the essence ol His wisdom : because love and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accomplishes them. True Christian Religion, No. 43. Ihe word ol 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/ "I' 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 jou: do ye evcri so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. vii. 8. The Ten Commandments point out what evils are to be shunned in order that men may attain eternal life. j "That it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as if ccmmonly believed is evident fron. this—that thing presents itself that one knows to he insinccre and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need ;-.ot only think that it ought not to be done because it is contrary to the Divine commands. If a man accustoms himself 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 higher degrees of his mind are opened; and in so far as these are opened ho sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as he sees Ihese evils they can be shaken off, lor 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 ; for who is not capable from freedom nf thinking in this manner ? Hut when he has made a beginning all goods are wrought in him by the Lord, > and He causes him not only to se« evils, but alsonot to will them, and finally to become averse to them. 'Ihis is meant bv the Lord's words, " My yoke is ensv and My burden is light. Matt. xi. 30 Hut it should be known that the difficulty of so thinking, and likewise of resisting eiils. increases in proportion as a man from tho will commits evils, for in so far he becomes accustomed to thein, until at length he docs not see tliem, and afterwards loves them, and frem the delight of love excuses them, and by all kinds of fallacies conlirnis them, and declares that they are allowable and good. Hut this occurs with those who in the age of adolescence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and at the same time reject Divine things from the heart."—" Heaven and Hell," No. 533.
