He is the Spirit of life, both now and hereafter (Gal. 6:8; I Cor. 15:45); and the Spirit of assurance, the guarantee of the new life, whereby man obtains confidence towards God and courage in the face of the world's evil (II Cor. 1:22; Rom. 5:5, 8:16, 23; Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Man, therefore, as the dwelling-place of the Spirit, is the inalienable possession of God (I Cor. 3:16, 17, 6:19).

We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie!" till you can find a rock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie!" till you can find a rock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good model can advance fashion by ten years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15355]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good model can advance fashion by ten years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When will the public cease to insult the teacher's calling with empty flattery?
