All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17). (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three brothers, three fortresses ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three brothers, three fortresses]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government, in its very essence, is opposed to all increase in knowledge.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes great people are always subject to persecution and always getting into straits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a very loyal and passionate audience that unfortunately never did grow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31589]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a very loyal and passionate audience that unfortunately never did grow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law.
