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[The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the lips that touch their brow have known the kiss of sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smallest number, with God and truth on their side, are weightier than thousands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The smallest number, with God and truth on their side, are weightier than thousands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoid inquisitive persons, for they are sure to be gossips, their ears are open to hear, but they will not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avoid inquisitive persons, for they are sure to be gossips, their ears are open to hear, but they will not keep what is entrusted to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek but provision of bread and wine, fools to flatter, and clothing fine; and nothing of God shall ever be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek but provision of bread and wine, fools to flatter, and clothing fine; and nothing of God shall ever be thine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never have a companion that casts you in the shade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not trust the horse, Trojans!
