Heavenly Doctrine (Tafel) n. 15

15. Since the conjunction of good and truth is like a marriage, it is clear that good loves truth, and that in turn truth loves good, and that the one longs to be conjoined with the other. The man of the Church who has no such love and no such longing, is not in the heavenly marriage; thus the Church is not yet in him; for the conjunction of good and truth constitutes the Church.
