Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem: From the Commandments of the Decalogue I. That all Religion has Relation to Life, and that the Life of Religion is to do Good. 1. Every one, who has any religion, knows and acknowledges, that whosoever lives well will be saved, and that whosoever lives wickedly will be condemned; for he knows and acknowledges, that whosoever lives well, thinks well, not only concerning God, but also concerning his neighbor; whereas it is otherwise with him who lives wickedly. The life of man is his love, and what a man loves, he not only does willingly, but also thinks willingly. The reason, therefore, why it is said, that the life of religion is to do good, is, because doing good and thinking good form a one, and unless they do form a one with man, they do not belong to his life. But these things are to be proved in what follows. 2. That religion has relation to life, and that the life thereof is to do good, is manifest to every one who reads the Word, and is acknowledged by every one whilst he is reading it. It is written in the Word: "Whosoever shall break the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who doeth and teacheth them, the same shall be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I say unto you, Except your righteousness shall exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall-not enter into the kingdom of heaven," Matt. v. 19, 20. "Every tree, which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire; wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them," Matt. vii. 19, 20.
