Elbert's Divine Providence Proverbs

Under inspiration of Divine Providence by Emmanuel Swedenborg (1755, Sweden)

         Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg was an eighteenth century theologian and scientist. This theology is founded on the belief that God used Swedenborg as a vessel through which to spread His teachings to people on earth. During a process of divinely inspired revelations, Swedenborg wrote thirty-five volumes of theological books, referred to as the Writings or Heavenly Doctrines, addressing the mysteries of human life which had previously gone unexplained or been misunderstood.  (Paraphrased from http://www.newchurch.org/about/swedenborg

"Shun evil and do good and believe in the Lord from all your heart and in all your soul, and the Lord will love you, and will give you a love of doing and faith to believe. Then from love you will do good, and from faith, which is trust, you will believe; and if you persevere in so doing, a reciprocal joining [with the Lord] will take place, which will be perpetual, and this is salvation itself and eternal life." (True Christian Religion #484)
