Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, sing now, sing; for I know you sing well; I see you have a singing face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, sing now, sing; for I know you sing well; I see you have a singing face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you drink don't drive.
