Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can be born of nothing, nothing can be resolved into nothing. [Lat., Gigni  De nihilo nihil, in nihilum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can be born of nothing, nothing can be resolved into nothing. [Lat., Gigni  De nihilo nihil, in nihilum nil posse reverti.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's in the middle of both countries.
