It frequently appears to the non-Christian mind that this is an immoral or at least unmoral doctrine. Paul appears to be saying that a man is justified before God, not by his goodness or badness, not by his good deeds or bad deeds, but by believing in a certain doctrine of Atonement. Of course, when we come to examine the matter more closely, we can see that there is nothing unmoral in this teaching at all. For if "faith" means using a God-given faculty to apprehend the unseen divine order, and means, moreover, involving oneself in that order by personal commitment, we can at once see how different that is from merely accepting a certain view of Christian redemption... That which man in every religion, every century, every country, was powerless to affect, God has achieved by the devastating humility of His action and suffering in Jesus Christ. Now, accepting such an action as a fait accompli is only possible by this perceptive faculty of "faith". It requires not merely intellectual assent but a shifting of personal trust from the achievements of the self to the completely undeserved action of God. To accept this teaching by mind and heart does, indeed, require a metanoia ["transformation"], a revolution in the outlook of both heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the coin of your life.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60855]]></link><description><![CDATA[The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listen, everyone is entitled to my opinion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true ship is the ship builder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56169]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true ship is the ship builder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Another nice thing was that I would type out letters home for the admiral's stewards.
