328. THAT LOVE IS THE EFFICIENT CAUSE ITSELF OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD It was before shown [nos. 300, 322] that the love of God Messiah towards the whole human race is the one only cause of the resurrection of spirits from the grave; for it is as it were a withdrawing of such efficacy. That it is a kind of withdrawing I have also learnt by living experience, both previously, and today by this, that I felt that there was a drawing away as it were of the head: besides other things, which are not mentioned here. 1747, Dec. 10.
