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://maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8696]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor is mankind's greatest blessing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor is mankind's greatest blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6366]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical authors, the authenticity of which no-one dreams of questioning.

You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profit is the ignition system of our economic engine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profit is the ignition system of our economic engine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't say you don't have enough time.
