DP 125 As a person acts in the outer elements of his life that are under his control, the Lord acts on his inner and outer elements simultaneously

Divine Providence #125

Topics covered:

  • It is not necessary for a person to know anything more than to refrain from evils as sins and look to the Lord
  • As a person acts in the outer elements of his life that are under his control, the Lord acts on his inner and outer elements simultaneously
  • Only thus can a person receive heavenly love from the Lord

From Chapter 5: “It is a Law of Divine Providence That a Person Put Away as If of Himself Evils as Sins in His External Self, and That the Lord Be Able Only Then to Put Away Evils in His Internal Self and at the Same Time in His External One”
