82. (Verse 18) And am he that liveth. That this signifies who is from eternity, is evident from the fact that He alone lives who is from eternity, and that all others, who are not from eternity, have been created from Him, and thus made recipients of life from Him; therefore He alone who is from eternity has life in Himself, and no one besides Him. That the Lord, with respect to the Human, as well as to the Divine, has life in Himself, is evident from what is said in John:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us" (Heaven and Hell 9).
82. Verse 18. And the Living One, signifies who is from eternity. This is evident from this, that He who is from eternity is the only Living One, and that all others, who are not from eternity, have been created by Him, and thus made recipients of life from Him. Therefore He only who is from eternity has life in Himself, and no one besides Him. That the Lord, in respect both to the Divine and to the Human, has life in Himself, is evident from what is said in John:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt in us (Heaven and Hell 9).
82. 1
(Vers. 18.) "Et qui vivens." - Quod sit qui ab aeterno, constat ex eo, quod Ille solus vivens sit qui ab aeterno est, et quod reliqui, qui non ab aeterno, ab Ipso creati sint, et sic facti recipientes vitae ab Ipso; quare solus qui ab aeterno habet vitam in Se, et nullus praeter Ipsum. Quod Dominus tam quoad Divinum quam quoad Humanum vitam habeat in Se, constat apud Johannem:
"In Principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum; .... in Ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hominum: .... et Verbum Caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis" ( 2
1:14):
quod Dominus sit qui intelligitur per "Verbum", patet; nam dicitur, "Verbum Caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis." Apud eundem,
"Quemadmodum Pater habet vitam in Se Ipso, ita dedit Filio vitam habere in Se Ipso" (5:26);
apud eundem,
"Jesus dixit, Ego sum resurrectio et vita" (11:25);
et apud eundem,
"Jesus dixit, Ego sum Via, veritas, et Vita" (14:6).
(Creditur in mundo quod homo habeat vitam sibi insitam, et sic quod non continue influat ab Ipso qui solus habet vitam in Se Ipso, et qui sic solus sit Vita; sed quod haec fides sit fides falsi, videatur in opere De Caelo et Inferno 9.)
