It frequently appears to the non-Christian mind that this is an immoral or at least unmoral doctrine. Paul appears to be saying that a man is justified before God, not by his goodness or badness, not by his good deeds or bad deeds, but by believing in a certain doctrine of Atonement. Of course, when we come to examine the matter more closely, we can see that there is nothing unmoral in this teaching at all. For if "faith" means using a God-given faculty to apprehend the unseen divine order, and means, moreover, involving oneself in that order by personal commitment, we can at once see how different that is from merely accepting a certain view of Christian redemption... That which man in every religion, every century, every country, was powerless to affect, God has achieved by the devastating humility of His action and suffering in Jesus Christ. Now, accepting such an action as a fait accompli is only possible by this perceptive faculty of "faith". It requires not merely intellectual assent but a shifting of personal trust from the achievements of the self to the completely undeserved action of God. To accept this teaching by mind and heart does, indeed, require a metanoia ["transformation"], a revolution in the outlook of both heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything else has gone OK, but the salaries are the sticking point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything else has gone OK, but the salaries are the sticking point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which he by hook or crook has gather'd And by his own inventions father'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Which he by hook or crook has gather'd And by his own inventions father'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit, now and then, struck smartly, shows a spark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit, now and then, struck smartly, shows a spark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hasty and the tardy meet at the ferry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58631]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hasty and the tardy meet at the ferry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[very optimistic for the strong momentum we have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35145]]></link><description><![CDATA[very optimistic for the strong momentum we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we're still in a very headline-driven market and the geopolitical concerns are going to continue to outweigh the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28409]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we're still in a very headline-driven market and the geopolitical concerns are going to continue to outweigh the fundamentals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting just any old yokel vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting just any old yokel vote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the golden chain Homer meant nothing else than the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20873]]></link><description><![CDATA[By the golden chain Homer meant nothing else than the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though language forms the preacher, 'Tis "good works" make the man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though language forms the preacher, 'Tis "good works" make the man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good government is no substitute for self-government ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good government is no substitute for self-government]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows others is wise.He who knows himself is enlightened. - Tao Te Ching. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17216]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows others is wise.He who knows himself is enlightened. - Tao Te Ching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
