If he takes them away, thank Him; but if He does not do that, you will bear it no more, however, as the defect of a sin, but as a great trial with which you are to gain merit and practice patience.

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).

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[Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue must be valuable, if men and women of all degrees pretend to have it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why not just walk over to Vanguard and buy the S&P 500 index fund? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why not just walk over to Vanguard and buy the S&P 500 index fund?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had to repay almost $3,000 to groups and people who had given us money thinking it was deductible, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38117]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had to repay almost $3,000 to groups and people who had given us money thinking it was deductible, and I figure we've lost maybe another $4,000 in donations we would have gotten since this came up.
