I have heard people say, "If human sin gives play to God's graciousness, let us go on sinning to give Him a better chance. Why not do evil that good may come?" (Rom. 3:8) What nonsense! To be saved through Christ is to be a dead man so far as sin is concerned. Think of the symbolism of Baptism. You go down into the water: that is like being buried with Christ. You come up out of the water: that is like rising with Christ from the tomb. It means, therefore, a new life, a life which comes by union with the living Christ. You will admit that, once a man is dead, there is no more claim against him for any wrong he may have committed. He is like a slave set free from all claims on the part of his late master. Think, then, of yourselves as dead. When you remember the death of Christ, think that you--i.e., your old bad selves--were crucified with Him. And when you remember His resurrection, think of yourselves as living with Him, a new life. And above all, bear in mind that Christ, once risen, does not die again: and so you, living the new life in Him, need not die again. I mean, the sin that once dominated you need not any longer control you; do not let it! You are freed slaves; do not sell yourselves into slavery again. Or, if you like to put it so, you are now slaves, not of Sin, but of Righteousness (a very crude way of putting it, but I want to help you out). Just as once you were the property of Sin, and all your faculties were instruments of wrong, so now you are the property of Righteousness, and every faculty you have must be an instrument of right. Freed from sin, you are slaves of God; that is what I mean. The wages your old master paid was death. Your new Master makes you a present of life. (Rom. 6:1-23)  Or take another illustration. You know that by law a woman is bound to her husband while he lives; when he is dead she is free; she can marry again if she likes and the law has no claim against her. So you may think of yourselves as having been married to Sin, or to Law. Death has now released you from that marriage bond, though here the illustration halts, for it is Christ's death that has freed you! Well, anyhow, you are free--free, shall I say, to marry Christ. You had a numerous progeny of evil deeds by your first marriage; you must now produce an offspring of good deeds to Christ. I mean, of course, you must serve God in Christ's spirit. (Rom. 7:1-6)  Now I admit that all this sounds as though I identified law with sin. That is not my meaning. But surely it is clear that the function of law is to bring consciousness of sin; e.g., I should never have known what covetousness was but that the law said, "Thou shalt not covet." Such is the perversity of human nature under the dominion of sin that the very prohibition provokes me to covet. There was a time when I knew nothing of Law, and lived my own life. Then Law came, sin awakened in me, and life became death for me. Of course, Law is good, but Sin took advantage of it, to my cost. I am only flesh and blood, and flesh and blood is prone to sin. I can see what is good, and desire it, but I cannot practice it; i.e., my reason recognizes the law, and yet I break it through moral perversity. If you like to put it so, there is one law for my reason, the Law of God, and another for my outward conduct, the law of sin and death. It is like a living man chained to a dead body. It is perfect misery. But, thank God, the chain is broken! The law of the Spirit of Life which is in Christ has set me free from the law of sin and death. Christ entered into this human nature of flesh and blood which is under the dominion of Sin. Sin put in its claim to be His master; but Christ won His case; Sin was non-suited, its claim disallowed, and human nature was free. The result is that all the Law stood for of righteousness, holiness, and goodness is fulfilled in those who live by Christ's Spirit. There are two possible forms of human life: there is the life of the lower nature of flesh and blood, of which I have spoken; and there is the life of the spirit. We have Christ's Spirit, and so we can live the life of the spirit. And in the end that Spirit will give new life to the whole human organism. (Rom. 7:7-8:11)  You see, then, that the flesh-and-blood nature has no claim upon us. We belong to the Spirit. Those who are actuated by that Spirit are sons of God. I used a while back the expression, "slaves of God "; but really we are not slaves but sons---sons and heirs of God, like Christ; and when we come into our inheritance, how glorious it will be! (Rom. 8:12-18)  This, however, is still in the future. At the present time the whole universe is in misery, and in its misery it waits for the revelation of God's sons. Now all existence seems futile in its transience; and even we still share creation's pangs. But we have hope; and the ground of that hope is the possession of God's Spirit--in a first installment only, but enough to reckon upon. The fact is that every prayer we utter--yes, even an inarticulate prayer--is the utterance of the Spirit within us. We know that all through God is working with us. His purpose is behind the whole process, and He is on our side. If He gave His Son, we can trust Him to give us everything else. He loves us, and nothing in the world or out of it can separate us from His love. (Rom. 8:18-39) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is not only violated by falsehood; it may be equally outraged by silence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as the regulations have not been revised, all prisoners will be given a sentence cut in line with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36231]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as the regulations have not been revised, all prisoners will be given a sentence cut in line with their rights under prevailing laws and regulations,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58182]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Jackdaw sat in the Cardinal's chair! Bishop and Abbot and Prior were there,  Many a monk and many ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23115]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Jackdaw sat in the Cardinal's chair! Bishop and Abbot and Prior were there,  Many a monk and many a friar,   Many a knight and many a squire,    With a great many more of lesser degree,--     In sooth a goodly company;      And they served the Lord Primate on bended knee.       Never, I ween,        Was a prouder seen,         Read of in books or dreamt of in dreams,          Than the Cardinal Lord Archbishop of Rheims.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulnesspossesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21151]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulnesspossesses you, and in this materialistic age a great many of us arepossessed by our possessions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44706]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For those who believe, no proof is necessary.
