Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The whole earth has been in possession of forgiveness since the death of Christ on the cross.  In the justification of the individual person the point is always the enjoyment, the fact that the righteousness of Christ saves me, is for my benefit, in enjoyed by me.  This is done through faith. Through faith we enter into the enjoyment of the good things which Christ has purchased for us. -- Eduard Preuss, On the Justification of the Sinner before God, pp. 58-59
