They now knew him no more by sight and after the flesh; they had His Spirit. And this "having" is both a real possession and a foretaste, an earnest of what is in store...   The Spirit assures us that we are heirs of a kingdom yet to be revealed (Rom. 8:17). The Spirit wars in us against the flesh (Gal. 5:17) and gives us assurance that even our mortal bodies shall be quickened (Rom. 8:11). Meanwhile the very mark of the Spirit's presence is that we groan waiting for our adoption (Rom. 8:23) and hoping for that which we do not yet see (Rom. 8:24,25).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy... is to set our own conditions to the events ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10044]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy... is to set our own conditions to the events of each day.
