Gerhard and Walther

That a person is fearful of hell’s pain has yet to deceive anyone. However, it has harmed many that they have—without any fear of hell’s pain—lived in self-assurance and then died unrepentant.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis I:316.

If God did not dwell with the saints in the New Jerusalem, they would not be blessed even in that beautiful heavenly city.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 310.
