| That
one's country should be loved, not as one loves himself, but more than
himself, is a law inscribed on the human heart; from which has come the
well-known principle, which every true man endorses that if a country is
threatened from an enemy or any other source, it is noble to die for it
and glorious for a solider to shed his blood for it. This is said because
so great should be one's love for it. It should be known that those who
love their country and render good service to it from good will, after
death love the Lord's kingdom, for then that is their country; and those
who love the Lord's kingdom love the Lord Himself, because the Lord is the
all in all things of His kingdom.
Emanuel Swedenborg |
