All hopes of eternity and all gain from the past he would have given to have her there, to be wrapped warm with him in one blanket, and sleep, only sleep.

Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58173]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What restricts the use of the word 'lady' among the courteous is that it is intended to set a woman ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23967]]></link><description><![CDATA[What restricts the use of the word 'lady' among the courteous is that it is intended to set a woman apart from ordinary humanity, and in the working world that is not a help, as women have discovered in many bitter ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
