Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

There must be a continuous progression from Sinai to Zion, so that the object of justifying faith does not become Epicureanism or, as Peter says, "a cloak for maliciousness." - Martin Chemnitz (Treasury of Daily Prayer, p. 1097)

Wasn't that a great quote?

A good antidote to Lutheran antinomianism and the allergy that has developed among some of our friends when it comes to urging/encouraging/exhorting folks to embrace the life of holiness to which they have been called, and the holiness into which they have been placed, in Christ.

From Sinai to Zion!
