But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient.

He has taken a cheerful view of the prospects of the race and of the future of human history, staying his soul upon the promise of further "evolution" of the human individual, the continuous upward progress of civilization, or perhaps the confident expectation of a completely revolutionized order of society -- a communist Utopia beyond the class struggle or something else of that same general kind. Where such hopes remain unchastened by the cold touch of reality, there is little prospect of the Christian Gospel recommending itself to men's minds, and any wordy defense of it is likely to be quite useless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This relationship is based on a firm belief in shared values and in principles that we defend and that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39087]]></link><description><![CDATA[This relationship is based on a firm belief in shared values and in principles that we defend and that we proclaim and that we assume.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A coach is only as good as his players are, I think.
