“Men always fool themselves when they give up experience for systems born of the imagination.

“Our preaching does not stop with the law. That would lead to wounding without binding up, striking down and not healing, killing and not making alive, driving down to hell and not bringing back up, humbling and not exalting. Therefore, we must also preach grace and the promise of forgiveness - this is the means by which faith is awakened and properly taught. Without this word of grace, the law, contrition, penitence, and everything else are done and taught in vain.” MeanDoeDoneLawHealingHellGraceAliveTaughtPromiseDown AndKillingDrivingVainPreachingAwakenedBindingHumblingPenitenceContrition Author:Martin Luther
