THE CHURCH
(pt. 1)

---

That which constitutes heaven with man, also constitutes the church; for as love and faith constitute heaven, so they also constitute the church; thus, -
it is evident what the church is. The church is said to be where the Lord is acknowledged and where the Word is, for the essentials of the church are love and faith in the Lord from the Lord; and the Word teaches how man must live that he may receive love and faith from the Lord.

(The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine 241-242)
