The New Church

The New Church The New Church helps people draw closer to the Lord God Jesus Christ, sharing His power and His peace. It is a religion to be lived, not just believed.

The New Church is a Christian denomination that addresses questions about God, love, and life after death with answers that make sense. New Church beliefs are of course founded in the Word of God in the Old and New Testaments, and provide new insight into its meaning. Some of our core beliefs:
• There is one loving, personal God, and He is the Lord Jesus Christ.
• The life of religion is to

obey the Ten Commandments, and to act honestly and faithfully in our daily occupations.
• The Word of God (the Bible) has a deeper meaning, teaching about a person’s spiritual development.
• Each of us continues life as a complete person immediately after death of the body.
• God does not judge us, but we judge ourselves by what we love and how we live.
• People of every faith are saved if they live sincerely according to their religion. A fuller discussion of New Church beliefs can be seen at https://newchurch.org/get-answers/spiritual-concepts/

"The Lord's union with us and our mutual union with the Lord are accomplished through our loving our neighbor as ourselves and loving the Lord above all.

Loving our neighbor as ourselves is simply not dealing dishonestly or unfairly with people, not harboring hatred or burning with revenge against them, not speaking ill of them or slandering them, not committing adultery with their spouses, and not doing anything of that nature to them. Can anyone fail to see that people who do do things like this are not loving their neighbor as themselves? However, people who do not do such things because they are both bad for their neighbor and sins against God treat their neighbor honestly, fairly, cordially, and faithfully. Since the Lord acts in the same way, a mutual union results.

When there is a mutual union, then whatever we do for our neighbor we do from the Lord, and whatever we do from the Lord is good. Then our neighbor is not the visible individual but the goodness within that individual.

Loving the Lord above all is simply not doing violence to the Word because the Lord is in the Word, not doing violence to the holy practices of the church because the Lord is in the holy practices of the church, and not doing violence to any soul whatever, because everyone's soul is in the hand of the Lord. When we abstain from these evils as appalling sins, we are loving the Lord above all; but only people who love their neighbor as themselves can do so, because the two kinds of love are essentially one." Divine Providence 94

"The Lord loves us and wants to dwell with us but cannot love and dwell with us unless he is received and loved in return. This is the one and only means to union. This is why the Lord gives us freedom and the power to reason — the freedom of thinking and intending with seeming autonomy, and the power of reason that serves as our guide. It is impossible to love and be united with someone who is unresponsive, impossible to come in and abide with someone who is unreceptive. It is because our own receptiveness and responsiveness are given by the Lord that the Lord said,

Abide in me, and I [will abide] in you. (John 15:4)

Those who abide in me and in whom I abide bear much fruit. (John 15:5)

On that day you will know that you are in me and I am in you. (John 14:20)
..So the Lord dwells with us in what is his own, and we dwell in what the Lord is giving us and are therefore in the Lord." Doctrine of Life 102

Where do we find the Lord? In stillness, in mindfully noticing the best in others, and in listening for the quiet Voice. Thanks Brendan and Josiah for sharing your thoughts!

"I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
I have not departed from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.
How sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey to my mouth!"
Psalm 119:101-103

The lies you tell can build your reality. Don't come to the table with a predetermined idea of who someone is. Give yourself and others the opportunity to be whole, nuanced, changing people.
