Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Give ear, O my soul, and take courage. Formerly we were sinners by nature; but now are we justified by grace. Before, we were His enemies, now are we His friends and kindred. Before, our help was in the death of Christ, not is in His life; once we were dead in our sins, now are we quickened with Christ. O the immeasurable love of God! - Blessed Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditation* XI
