What the Lord does to empower us now and experience heaven now.
(Luke 22:35-38; Arcana Coelestia 9088, 10026)
Truths teach a person in whom he ought to believe, and what he ought to believe, also what he ought to do, thus how he ought to will; for whatever one does he does from the will in accordance with his understanding. Since then, a person's will itself is evil by birth and the understanding teaches what good and evil are, and a person can will either good or evil, it follows that he must be reformed by means of the understanding. As long as anyone sees and mentally acknowledges that evil is evil, and good is good, and thinks that the good ought to be chosen, he is in what is called the state of reformation. But when his will leads him to shun evil and do good, the state of regeneration begins. (True Christian Religion #587)
