Gerhard and Walther

The joy of this world is intermingled with much bitterness; the joy of the future world is pure and unspotted.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis I:291.

No one becomes just and holy before God by his sanctification. But whoever does not earnestly continue to seek a more perfect sanctification certainly falls back again under the complete power of some sin.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 294.
