Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Thus, it is certain: the justification of a poor sinner before God stands rock-solid, for it rests as much on God's righteousness, holiness, and faithfulness as on His goodness and grace. Its foundation is that God's Son has already reconciled all people, already paid their debt of sin, and already and acquired and offered them forgiveness and righteousness.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 658.
