Gerhard and Walther

In God’s Word we find everything that we need for godliness.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis II:36.

Whatever kind of sinner a person may be, he finds what he needs in Christ the true High Priest, who obtained an eternal redemption. Therefore, regardless of the time or place in which he lives, or the magnitude and duration of his sin, if Christ has become his High Priest, he has an eternal redemption.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 327.
