14. CHAPTER I IN JEHOVAH GOD THERE ARE TWO THINGS OF THE SAME ESSENCE, DIVINE LOVE AND DIVINE WISDOM, OR DIVINE GOOD AND DIVINE TRUTH 1. Both as a whole and individually, all things in the two worlds, the spiritual and the natural, have relation to love and wisdom, or to good and truth, for God, Creator and Establisher of the universe, is Love itself and Wisdom itself, or Good itself and Truth itself. 2. Exactly as all things in man, both as a whole and individually, have relation to the will and the understanding, inasmuch as the will is the receptacle of good or love, and the understanding is the receptacle of wisdom and truth. 3. And exactly as all things in the universe in respect of coming into existence and continuing in existence have relation to heat and light; and the heat in the spiritual world is in its essence love and the light there in its essence is wisdom; and the heat and light in the natural world correspond to the love and wisdom in the spiritual world. 4. It is on this account that all things in the Church have relation to charity and faith, inasmuch as charity is good and faith is truth. 5. Consequently in the prophetical Word there are pairs of expressions, the one of which has relation to good, and the other to truth, and thus they have relation to Jehovah God who is Good itself and Truth itself. 6. In the Word of the Old Testament "Jehovah" signifies the Divine Being (Esse) which is Divine Good, and "God" signifies the Divine Existing (Existere) which is Divine Truth; and "Jehovah God" signifies both; so also does "Jesus Christ". 7. Good is good, and truth is truth, to the extent that they are conjoined and according to the manner in which they are conjoined. 8. Good has existence by means of truth consequently truth is good's form, and therefore good's quality.
