“It is not possible to understand Luther as grounding the blessed exchange in the fact of the believer’s union with Christ.

― Robert D. Preus, Justification and Rome

“The sinner’s justification cannot be demonstrated psychologically.”
― Herman Sasse, Letters to Lutheran Pastors: Volume 1

“the world is full of slackers who only turn out when the weather suits them.”
