Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13939]]></link><description><![CDATA[True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525   After Calvary, God has the right to be trusted; to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brigid, Abbess of Kildare, c.525   After Calvary, God has the right to be trusted; to be believed that He means what He says; and that His love is dependable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the nature of researchyou don't know what in hell you're doing. -'Doc' Edgerton. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9423]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's the nature of researchyou don't know what in hell you're doing. -'Doc' Edgerton.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never find yourself until you face the truth ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59776]]></link><description><![CDATA[You never find yourself until you face the truth]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Ready with every nod to tumble down. -King Richard III.

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></channel></rss>
