It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12836]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12836</guid></item></channel></rss>
