How would the man interpret it? Would it not mean to him, "You may go on hating. I do not mind it. You have had great provocation, and are justified in your hate?" No doubt God takes what wrong there is, and what provocation there is, into the account; but the more provocation, the more excuse that can be urged for the hate, the more reason, if possible, that the hater should be delivered from the hell of his hate, that God's child should be made the loving child that He meant him to be. The man would think, not that God loved the sinner, but that He forgave the sin, which God never does. Every sin meets its due fate -- inexorable expulsion from the paradise of God's Humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quiet is what home would be without children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quiet is what home would be without children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are chameleons, and our partialities and prejudices change place with an easy and blessed facility, and we are soon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5551]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are chameleons, and our partialities and prejudices change place with an easy and blessed facility, and we are soon wonted to the change and happy in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! -King Richard III.

Liberty, peace, and joy are correlative factors in the same moment of experience, and they are all attributed to the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:2,6; 14:17; Gal. 5:22,23; 1 Thess. 1:6). In the allegory of Abraham's two sons, Paul contrasts the state of bondage under the Law with that of liberty under grace, and defines the one as being after the flesh, but the other after the Spirit (Gal. 4:21-29)... The first great moment of the new life, whether it be called justification by faith, the realization of sonship, or peace with God, is a work of the Holy Spirit, through the preaching of the Word. But [Paul] does not indicate... the exact logical or historical sequence of the various elements in the experience, and it may be doubted whether he would have entertained any idea of sequence within the complex experience of justification.
