It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the State. [Fr., L'etat c'est moi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54483]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the State. [Fr., L'etat c'est moi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not anything so excellent, but some will carp at it. . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42068]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not anything so excellent, but some will carp at it. . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's clear that supplies of crude oil and natural gas are more than adequate.
