"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started out great today but just couldn't maintain our focus all the way through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36043]]></link><description><![CDATA[We started out great today but just couldn't maintain our focus all the way through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalists are motivated not chiefly by the desire to consume wealth or indulge their appetites, but by the freedom and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capitalists are motivated not chiefly by the desire to consume wealth or indulge their appetites, but by the freedom and power to consummate their entrepreneurial ideas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Louisiana should be able to apply the word ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã…ÂadmirableÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â to her dream of a modern medical teaching facility.
