Love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor constitute heaven; and also faith, so far as it has life from those loves.

And because both the love (and the faith thence derived), are from the Lord, it is evident that the Lord Himself constitutes heaven.

(pt. 1)

---

There are two things which constitute the life of man's spirit, namely, love and faith -

• love constituting the life of his will
• faith the life of his understanding 

The love of good and the faith of truth thence derived, constitute the life of heaven; and the love of evil, and the faith of falsity thence derived, constitute the life of hell.

(The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine 230)
