328. Love is the very power that brings about the resurrection of the dead

It has been shown before [300, 322] that the Love of God the Messiah toward the whole human race is the sole cause of the resurrection of spirits from their graves, for there is a kind of drawing up by this power. That there is a kind of drawing up, I have learned from actual experience, both previously and today, by feeling a kind of drawing up of my head; besides other things that this is not the place to bring up. 1747, the 10th day of December.
