95. The life of the external man is here treated of-the life of his faith or understanding in the two former verses, and the life of his love or will in this verse. Hitherto the external man has been unwilling to yield to and serve the internal, being engaged in a continual combat with him, and therefore the external man was not then “man.” Now, however, being made celestial, the external man begins to obey and serve the internal, and it also becomes “man” being so rendered by the life of faith and the life of love. The life of faith prepares him, but it is the life of love which causes him to be “man.”
