Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

We teach that rewards have been offered and promised for the works of believers. We teach that good works have merit, not for forgiveness of sins, for grace, or for justification (for these we receive only through faith), but for other rewards, bodily and spiritual, in this life and after this life. -- Apology of the Augsburg Confession V:73 [from Today's Writing in the Treasury]
