All the Christian virtues are the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23). He is the Spirit of holiness (Rom. 1:4), of sanctification (II Thess. 2:13), and of a new life (Rom. 7:6). Love, the greatest of the Christian graces, is the pre-eminent gift of the Spirit (I Cor. 13; Col. 1:8; Rom. 15:30), not only as the grace of character, but also as a principle of unity in the Church (Eph. 4:1-6; cf. 2:18, 22). The Spirit bestows wisdom and knowledge on the individual and in the Church. Paul spoke "God's wisdom in a mystery... through the Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" (I Cor. 2:7-10). "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit" (I Cor. 12:8). All Christian knowledge was derived from the Spirit, both by Paul and [the Apostle] John (Eph. 1:17, 23; 3:16-19; John 16:13; I John 2:20, 27; cf. James 1:5, 3:15, 17). (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sudden friendship, sure repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sudden friendship, sure repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But jealous souls will not be answered so; They are not ever jealous for the cause,  But jealous for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23170]]></link><description><![CDATA[But jealous souls will not be answered so; They are not ever jealous for the cause,  But jealous for they're jealous.   'Tis a monster    Begot upon itself, born on itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[SELFISH, adj.
