230. XVIII

ON HEAVEN AND HELL

There are two things which make up the life of a person's spirit: love and faith. Love makes up the life of his will, and faith that of his intellect. The love of good and faith in truth from it make up the life of heaven; and the love of evil and faith in falsity from it make up the life of hell.
