287. That love and wisdom are human can also be seen from the appearance of angels in heaven, who are the more beautifully human the more love and wisdom they possess from the Lord. The same can be seen from what we are told in the Word about Adam, that he was created into the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26), because he was created into the form of love and wisdom. Every person on earth is born into the human form anatomically. That is because his spirit-which we also call the soul-is human; and it is human because it is capable of receiving love and wisdom from the Lord. Furthermore, the more a person's spirit or soul does receive these, the more human he becomes after the death of the material body with which he was clothed; and the more it does not receive them, the more of a monster he becomes, though retaining some human quality from his capability of receiving them.
