Verse 21. And the soul, being in a state of truth warring against evil, and zealous for good, has a fresh perception from the Divine truth of the Word; it is made evident to the understanding what the Lord by His Divine goodness and truth has done to the false principles derived from the love of self and the love of the world in the externals of the soul; and confidence is now given that the Lord will reduce under the power of the regenerate will all opposition from evil and falses in the more interior states towards which the regenerate are progressing.
