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[Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, atfifteen your double, and after that, your friend or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your son at five is your master, at ten your slave, atfifteen your double, and after that, your friend or your foe depending onhis bringing up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23010]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put in phials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw, inclement summers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work your way up or rust your way out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work your way up or rust your way out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I step out of the role you have written for meyou make me feel like a plagiarist.from the play ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/260]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I step out of the role you have written for meyou make me feel like a plagiarist.from the play Jake's Women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew God was working on this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30023]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew God was working on this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of 30.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59359</guid></item></channel></rss>
