It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man.

But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fighters with 13 fights are winning world titles, and of course they don't know how to behave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fighters with 13 fights are winning world titles, and of course they don't know how to behave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We frolic while 'tis May. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48992]]></link><description><![CDATA[We frolic while 'tis May.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not sure who's Beta and who's VHS yet, ...
