230. HEAVEN AND HELL.

There are two things which constitute the life of a man's spirit, namely, love and faith; love constituting the life of his will, and faith the life of his understanding. The love of good, and the faith of truth from it, constitute the life of heaven; and the love of evil, and the faith of falsity from it, constitute the life of hell.
