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[We're still seeing some overland flooding issues, but it looks like the dikes are doing fine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29942]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're still seeing some overland flooding issues, but it looks like the dikes are doing fine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In short, intelligence, considered in what seems to be its original feature, is the faculty of manufacturing artificial objects, especially ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22874]]></link><description><![CDATA[In short, intelligence, considered in what seems to be its original feature, is the faculty of manufacturing artificial objects, especially tools to make tools, and of indefinitely urging the manufacture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the end truth will out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51406]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the end truth will out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking (and/or conversations with God). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking (and/or conversations with God).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No other offense has ever been visited with such severe penalties as seeking to help the oppressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45161]]></link><description><![CDATA[No other offense has ever been visited with such severe penalties as seeking to help the oppressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There seems to be one quality of mind which seems to be of special and extreme advantage in leading him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21718]]></link><description><![CDATA[There seems to be one quality of mind which seems to be of special and extreme advantage in leading him to make discoveries.
