Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20422]]></link><description><![CDATA[But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is so much carved out of his domain of universal knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not altogether a delerium, yet it has many points in common therewith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not altogether a delerium, yet it has many points in common therewith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hopefully I'll be up here again in a better position in the coming years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hopefully I'll be up here again in a better position in the coming years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's helped me a lot with my situational moves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28194]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's helped me a lot with my situational moves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day First heard before the shallow cuckoo's bill,  Portend success in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day First heard before the shallow cuckoo's bill,  Portend success in love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle Long did I toil and knew no earthly rest, Far did I rove and found ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle Long did I toil and knew no earthly rest, Far did I rove and found no certain home; At last I sought them in His sheltering breast, Who opes His arms and bids the weary come: With Him I found a home, a rest divine, And I, since then, am His, and He is mine. The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Busy, curious, thirsty fly, Drink with me and drink as I!  Freely welcome to my cup,   Could'st ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16227]]></link><description><![CDATA[Busy, curious, thirsty fly, Drink with me and drink as I!  Freely welcome to my cup,   Could'st thou sip and sip it up;    Make the most of life you may;     Life is short and wears away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is power.
