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['Tis an old maxim in the schools, That flattery's the food of fools;  Yet now and then your men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16177]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis an old maxim in the schools, That flattery's the food of fools;  Yet now and then your men of wit   Will condescend to take a bit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26863]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During the trip, the president will explain that the people of Afghanistan want an end to terrorism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40044]]></link><description><![CDATA[During the trip, the president will explain that the people of Afghanistan want an end to terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  Whence comes this idea that if what we are doing is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942  Whence comes this idea that if what we are doing is fun, it can't be God's will?

The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even with their combined support, the cost of mounting a production has proved to be too much.
