Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Christ is the Savior not only with regard to the point from which and with respect to goods deprived, as the one who has saved us or freed us from our sins, from the wrath of God, from the accusation of the Law, from death, from judgment, and from eternal damnation... But He is also the Savior with regard to the point to which and with respect to positive goods, because He brought perfect righteousness, the grace of God, grace, life, and eternal salvation. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, *On Christ* p. 6.
