Luther and Lewis

As there is no fire without heat and smoke, so there is no faith without love. For when through faith a man knows how dearly God loves him, he must gain a sweet and loving heart towards God, and this heart cannot stay by itself alone. It must flow forth and freely show its gratitude and love.— Martin Luther, Sermons, 1527

For a Christian there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret Master of Ceremonies has been at work. Christ...can truly say to every group of Christian friends, 'You have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.'—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 162
