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[Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19425]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is with words as with sunbeams--the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62020]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is with words as with sunbeams--the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55251]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop shallow water from running, it will rage; tread on a worm and it will turn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stop shallow water from running, it will rage; tread on a worm and it will turn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look on that man as happy, who, when there is a question of success, looks into his work for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62164]]></link><description><![CDATA[I look on that man as happy, who, when there is a question of success, looks into his work for a reply.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and life are for to-day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love and life are for to-day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25350]]></link><description><![CDATA[And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. - Isaiah 2:4.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The condo market in Arizona is nuts right now.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Axylos, Teuthranos's son that dwelt in stablished Arisbe; a man of substance dear to his fellows; for his dwelling was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19859]]></link><description><![CDATA[Axylos, Teuthranos's son that dwelt in stablished Arisbe; a man of substance dear to his fellows; for his dwelling was by the road-side and he entertained all men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health food makes me sick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27632]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health food makes me sick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-confidence is either a petty pride in our own narrowness, or the realization of our duty and privilege as God's children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387  Augustine shows clearly the religious character of sin.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strength does not come from physical capacity.
