But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts And eloquence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts And eloquence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flame is very near to smoke. [Lat., Flamma fumo est proxima.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flame is very near to smoke. [Lat., Flamma fumo est proxima.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796   Here you have the true reason why ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796   Here you have the true reason why revenge or vengeance is not allowed to man: it is because vengeance can only work in the evil or disordered properties of fallen nature. But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer.
