The only evidence of election is therefore vocation, and the only evidence of vocation, is holiness of heart and life, for we are called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Compare again Romans 8:29, where believers are said to be "predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son." To this they are effectually called. They are made like Christ. Fellowship includes union and communion. We are called to be partakers of Christ; partakers of his life, as members of his body; and herefore, partakers of his character, of his sufferings here and of his glory hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learned or unlearned we all must be scribbling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learned or unlearned we all must be scribbling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45420]]></link><description><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the colors fade and blacken out of sight or the canvas rot entirely away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Very few people are ambitious in the sense of having a specific image of what they want to achieve.
