We cannot form a conception of Eternal Life. What we imagine is ever simply of the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus Christ. In him we realize that we were created for the eternal life. If we ask, what is this eternal life? what sense is there in thinking about it if we can have no conception of it?, the answer is, "It is life with God, in God, from God; life in perfect fellowship." Therefore it is a life in love, it is love itself. It is a life without the nature of death and sin, hence without sorrow, pain, anxiety, care, misery. To know this suffices to make one rejoice in eternal life. If there were no eternal life, this life of time would be without meaning, goal, or purpose, without significance, without seriousness and without joy. It would be nothing. That our life does not end in nothing, but that eternal life awaits us, is the glad message of Jesus Christ. He came to give us this promise as a light in this dark world. A Christian is a man who has become certain of eternal life through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen stall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation!  Blest with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen stall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation!  Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land   Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!    Then conquer we must when our cause it is just.     And this be our motto, "In God is our trust!"      And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave       O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53602]]></link><description><![CDATA[There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4858]]></link><description><![CDATA[True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have known many meat eaters to be far more nonviolent than vegetarians. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60463]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have known many meat eaters to be far more nonviolent than vegetarians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These kids grow so much in their four years here, and there's certain things we'd like to think the program ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35023]]></link><description><![CDATA[These kids grow so much in their four years here, and there's certain things we'd like to think the program stands for.
