Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

That's how it is with the sin that weighs us down; it is truly sin, but it is not the damning kind of sin, because it is forgiven. It is like death which destroys the Christian physically; it is truly death, but a death that has already been overcome. -- Blessed Martin Luther, Sermon for Trinity 22 (House Postills III:138)
