Vers 8. "Und der Herr befreite, was geistlich in der Seele war, von den falschen Überzeugungen, die ihre Befreiung von den Übeln des natürlichen, unerweckten Herzens verhinderten, * durch seine göttliche Allmacht und das offenkundige Wirken der Vorsehung und einen mächtigen Zustrom von Wahrheit, wodurch die Falschheiten zerstreut wurden, begleitet von vielen und klaren Beweisen für den Verstand. * Da die Wiedergeburt der Seele allein durch die Ausführung des göttlichen Willens im Leben bewirkt wird, sind alle Lehren, die das Heil in etwas anderem bestehen lassen, wie in einer bestimmten Lehre, einem Glaubensbekenntnis, einer Kirche oder einem Zeremoniell, Irrtümer, die den Beginn des wiedergeborenen Lebens verhindern, indem sie die einzigen Prinzipien versklaven, die die Wiedergeburt bewirken können."

8302. 'Who is like You in holiness' means that He is the Source of everything holy. This is clear from the meaning of 'who is like You in holiness?' as the fact that nobody is so holy; but the meaning in the internal sense is that He is the Source of everything holy since He is Holiness itself. By 'that which is holy' is meant the Divine Truth emanating from the Lord. This Truth is called holy, and is meant also by the Holy Spirit, of whom it is therefore said that He is 'the Spirit of Truth', John 14:16-17; 15:26-27; 16:13, has been sent by the Lord, John 15:26-27, and will take from the Lord what He will declare, John 16:15. Since holiness is an attribute of Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord, angels - being recipients of that Truth - are therefore called 'holy', Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; so too are prophets, and in particular the Word, which is God's truth itself. The Lord as well - by virtue of the Divine Truth, which He is since He is its Source - is called 'the Holy One of Israel', 'the Holy One of Jacob', and 'the Holy One of God'.
