Is religion about believing the right ideas — or about living a life transformed by truth?
In this electrifying episode, we dive deep into Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem by Emanuel Swedenborg, a masterpiece that challenges everything shallow about modern spirituality.
Swedenborg reveals that true religion is not about profession of faith alone — it is about living the truth, fighting against evil, and allowing divine goodness to penetrate every thought, action, and desire.
Discover:
Why all true religion is a matter of life — and why doing good is the very essence of salvation.
How no one can from themselves do anything truly good without the Lord’s power — and why real good must be born from divine transformation.
The stunning truth that in proportion as you shun evils as sins, you love truth, have real faith, and become spiritual.
How the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) contains the full secret to recognizing, resisting, and overcoming the evils that separate us from God.
Swedenborg dismantles the illusion that belief alone can save — showing instead that the life we live is the life we love, and that love, expressed through the active rejection of sin, is the key to heaven.
He reveals how regeneration begins when the soul chooses to turn away from selfishness, lust, deceit, and violence — not through mere discipline, but through the Lord’s living presence in the heart.
In this podcast, you’ll also uncover:
The real spiritual meaning behind murder, adultery, theft, and false witness — and how even subtle forms of these sins corrupt the soul.
Why faith without shunning evil is dead — no matter how perfect it looks on the outside.
The hidden warfare that every soul must fight between the "Old Man" and the "New Man" — and why this battle is the very purpose of life on earth.
How the Lord alone cleanses and sanctifies, but only through a free, conscious choice to resist evil as sin.
Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem is not just a guidebook for better living — it is a spiritual map that charts the soul’s journey from death to life, from darkness to light, from self to God.
If you've ever asked:
Is it enough to believe — or must I live differently?
How can I experience real spiritual growth and not just outward religion?
What is the true path to the New Jerusalem — the kingdom of God within?
Then this episode will open your eyes and light your path.
Join us as we uncover the forgotten truth that salvation is not only a promise — it is a transformation.
The Lord knocks at the door of the soul, but the handle is on the inside.
You must choose to open.
The way to heaven is through life.
And the life is to do the truth.
