(n. 2873).

Nothing appears to be man's own except what is from
freedom (n. 2880).

There is heavenly freedom and infernal freedom (n. 2870,
2873, 2874, 9589, 9590).

[2] Heavenly freedom pertains to heavenly love, or the
love of good and truth (n. 1947, 2870, 2872).

And as the love of good and truth is from the Lord freedom
itself consists in being led by the Lord (n. 892, 905,
2872, 2886, 2890-2892, 9096, 9586, 9587, 9589-9591).

Man is led into heavenly freedom by the Lord through
regeneration (n. 2874, 2875, 2882, 2892).

Man must have freedom in order to be regenerated (n. 1937,
1947, 2876, 2881, 3145, 3146, 3158, 4031, 8700).

In no other way can the love of good and truth be
implanted in man, and appropriated by him seemingly as his
own (n. 2877, 2879, 2880, 2888).

Nothing is conjoined to man in a state of compulsion (n.
2875, 8700).

If man could be reformed by compulsion all would be saved
(n. 2881).

In reformation compulsion is harmful (n. 4031).

All worship from freedom is worship, but worship from
compulsion is not worship (n. 1947, 2880, 7349, 10097).

Repentance must be effected in a free state, and
repentance effected in a state of compulsion is of no
avail (n. 8392).

States of compulsion, what they are (n. 8392).

[3] It is granted to man to act from the freedom of
reason, to the end that good may be provided for him, and
this is why man has the freedom to think and will even
what is evil, and to do it so far as the laws do not
forbid (n. 10777).

Man is kept by the Lord between heaven and hell, and thus
in equilibrium, that he may be in freedom for the sake of
reformation (n. 5982, 6477, 8209, 8987).

What is implanted in freedom endures, but not what is
implanted under compulsion (n. 9588).

For this reason no one is ever deprived of his freedom (n.
2876, 2881). The Lord compels no one (n. 1937, 1947).

Compelling one's self is from freedom, but not being
compelled (n. 1937, 1947).

A man ought to compel himself to resist evil (n. 1937,
1947, 7914).

Also to do good as if from himself, and yet to acknowledge
that it is from the Lord (n. 2883, 2891, 2892, 7914).

Man has a stronger freedom in the temptation combats in
which he
