The following is short summary of the tenets
of the New Church: uaat
l, There is one God In Him is the Divine
Trinity, called the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit these Three are distinct and at
the same time, united in him, as the soul, the
body, and the operation are in man and this
one God is the Lord Jesus Christ
2 Saving Faith is to believe in Him as the
Redeemer, Regeneration and Saviour from sin.
B. The Sacred Scripture is Divine Truth; it
is revealed TO us as a means by which we may
distinguish between good and evil by which
we may be delivered from the influence of evil
spirits, and become associated with angels, and
conjoined with the Lord ~ p
L. We must shun our evils, because they
flow from hell; we must do good, because it is
of God, and from God -ai
5. In abstaining from evil andin doing good,
we are to act as of ourselves but we must at
the same time believe and acknowledge that
the will, the understanding and the power 10
do so, are of the Lord alone.
