Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inevitableness, the idealism, and the blessing of war, as an indispensable and stimulating law of development, must be repeatedly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61136]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inevitableness, the idealism, and the blessing of war, as an indispensable and stimulating law of development, must be repeatedly emphasized.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil is like water, it abounds, is cheap, soon fouls, but runs itself clear of taint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil is like water, it abounds, is cheap, soon fouls, but runs itself clear of taint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And hearts resolved and hands prepared The blessings they enjoy to guard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53968]]></link><description><![CDATA[And hearts resolved and hands prepared The blessings they enjoy to guard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got to be able to invest in some incubators for change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29427]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've got to be able to invest in some incubators for change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is blind, friendship closes its eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is blind, friendship closes its eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creation is a drug I can't do without. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creation is a drug I can't do without.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is an insult to human dignity.
