But, strictly speaking, the great thing to see is that God has accepted Christ. He took our sins upon Himself, died to make propitiation (the sacrifice which removed the anger of God) for them. But God raised Him from the dead and has taken Him up to glory. God has accepted Christ in token of His perfect satisfaction in His work. Believing this, the soul enters into peace. I simply rest in God’s thoughts about His son.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got high expectations this year.

He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-morrow will give some food for thought. [Lat., Aliquod crastinus dies ad cogitandum dabit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59443]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-morrow will give some food for thought. [Lat., Aliquod crastinus dies ad cogitandum dabit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear, and the blind can read ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear, and the blind can read]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hector is a super gifted person and an amazing organ player, ...

First behold thyself diligently in the law of God, and see there thy just damnation. Secondarily, turn thine eyes to Christ, and see there the exceeding mercy of thy most kind and loving Father. Thirdly, remember that Christ made not this atonement that thou shouldest anger God again; neither cleansed he thee, that thou shouldest return (as a swine) unto thine old puddle again: but that thou shouldest be a new creature and live a new life after the will of God and not of the flesh.
