We cannot form a conception of Eternal Life. What we imagine is ever simply of the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus Christ. In him we realize that we were created for the eternal life. If we ask, what is this eternal life? what sense is there in thinking about it if we can have no conception of it?, the answer is, "It is life with God, in God, from God; life in perfect fellowship." Therefore it is a life in love, it is love itself. It is a life without the nature of death and sin, hence without sorrow, pain, anxiety, care, misery. To know this suffices to make one rejoice in eternal life. If there were no eternal life, this life of time would be without meaning, goal, or purpose, without significance, without seriousness and without joy. It would be nothing. That our life does not end in nothing, but that eternal life awaits us, is the glad message of Jesus Christ. He came to give us this promise as a light in this dark world. A Christian is a man who has become certain of eternal life through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he attributes it to his teaching as a youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41758]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think he attributes it to his teaching as a youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles de Foucauld, Hermit, Servant of the Poor, 1916   Faith is to the soul what life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6849]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles de Foucauld, Hermit, Servant of the Poor, 1916   Faith is to the soul what life is to the body.
