Consider the beautiful but cryptic statements of John 1:1:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

God's love has always been and will always be infinite and perfect. That means the expression of God's love -- His truth -- has also always been and will always be infinite and perfect.

The Lord has shared this truth with us in various ways since the beginning of humanity. The earliest people received truth directly, flowing into the inner parts of their minds from heaven. Later, people understood it through nature seeing the Lord's love expressed in mountains, trees, rivers, and the sun, moon and stars. By using natural language as a container for spiritual language, the Lord expressed truth within the Bible inside its stories, laws and prophecies. When humanity reached its lowest point, God took on a human form and walked among us as Jesus. In this way, the Lord brought us Divine truths in an accessible and tangible way. By accepting and loving the Lord as Jesus we can open ourselves to His love.

Finally, the Heavenly Doctrine received through the pen of Emanuel Swedenborg are themselves a container for Divine Truth, both in speaking plainly about heaven and by unlocking the truth as it is contained in the Bible.

The Word itself is Divine Truth; the Lord's expression of love has and never will change.

6276. 'And said, The God before whom my fathers walked, Abraham and Isaac' means the Divine from whom internal good and internal truth possessed their life. This is clear from the meaning of 'the God' as the Divine; from the meaning of 'walking' as living or having life, dealt with in 519, 1794; and from the representation of 'Abraham' in the highest sense as the Lord's Divine itself, and of 'Isaac' as His Divine Rational, thus His Internal Human since 'Jacob' is the Lord's Divine Natural or His External Human, all three of which are dealt with in 2011, 3245, 3305 (end), 3439, 4615. But in the representative sense 'Abraham' is internal good and 'Isaac' internal truth, 3703, 6098, 6185. The reason 'Abraham' and 'Isaac' have these meanings in the representative sense is that the actual goodness and truth which are present in the Lord's kingdom come forth from His Divine and His Divine Human. These are what cause the Lord Himself to be present there, so that He Himself is His kingdom.
