Has it transported him for a moment into a spiritual ecstasy that vanishes when everyday life returns, or has it lodged the Word of God so securely and deeply in his heart that it holds and fortifies him, impelling him to active love, to obedience, to good works?

This introduces a third criterion of the Spirit, and on the wider stage of the moral life. It is loyalty to the moral ideal of Christ. "If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk" (Gal. 5:25). Where the Spirit dwells, it produces a new, a higher, a unique type of moral life. For Paul, the Christian life was not the normal and natural product of human activity, but a gracious divine gift, received by the descent of the Spirit into the human heart, for "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23). And there is yet one higher manifestation of the Spirit, the participation in the divine sonship of Jesus Christ. "And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6). Where sonship is, there the Spirit is. On the other hand, "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:l4). Where the Spirit leads, there sonship is... The possession of the Spirit and participation in Christ's sonship are but two aspects of the same experience. Here, the phenomenon, if it may be so called, bears its own credentials. Sonship is a self-evident work of the Spirit. But the evidence is available only for its owners in order that the Spirit of adoption may attest itself to others, it must issue in the life according to the Spirit, by walking in the spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48154]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House--with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus far we run before the wind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus far we run before the wind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64615]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Responsibility for learning belongs to the student, regardless of age ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Responsibility for learning belongs to the student, regardless of age]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4838]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't expect any major surprises. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41951]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't expect any major surprises.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12908]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms. -As You Like It.
