Excerpt from The Doctrine of Life for the New Jerusalem: From the Commandments of the Decalogue That no one will be saved by the good deeds which pro ceed from self, because they are not good, appears from the krillowing passages: Not every man that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, sha 'l enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that do eth the will of my Father. Illany will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied by thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, and by thy name done many mighty works? But then will I profess unto them, I never knew? You depart from me, YE that work iniquity, Matt. Vii. 21, 22, 23 And in another place: Then shall ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and ye shall begin to say, We have eaten in thy presence, and have drunken, and thou hast taught in our streets but he will say, I say unto you, I know you not whence you are; depart from me, all ye workers OF iniquity, Luke xiii. 25, 26, 27. For all such are like unto the Pharisee, who stood and pray ed in the temple, saying, that he was not as other men, an ere tortioner, unjust, an adulterer, that he fasted twice in the week, and gave tithes of all that he possessed, Luke xviii. 1] to 14. They are also those who are called unprofitable servants, Luke xvii. 10. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
