If forgiveness of sins without repentance is preached, the people will imagine they have already been forgiven their sins, which makes them secure and unconcerned. This is a greater error and sin than all errors of former times, and we can rightfully fear we are in danger of what Christ points out when He says in Matthew 12:45: "The last state of person is worst than the first." -- Blessed Martin Luther, AE 40:274.
