That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maintain your post: That's all the fame you need; For 'tis impossible you should proceed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maintain your post: That's all the fame you need; For 'tis impossible you should proceed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you belong to a minority, you have to be better in order to have the right to be equal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14114]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you belong to a minority, you have to be better in order to have the right to be equal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have written to them and asked them for statements.
