Gerhard and Walther

Through this grace, you not only have forgiveness of sins, but also have obtained the gift of the Holy Spirit who kills off the sin which still remains in the flesh.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis I:198, 199.

A church in which man’s delusion and wit are proclaimed instead of Holy Scripture is nothing but an open gate to hell, a butchering table of Satan, and a house of plagues to the soul.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 219.
