Gerhard and Walther

If a blessed resurrection is to ensue, then it first must be preceded by a blessed death—that one especially die to sin.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis I:271.

Woe, therefore, to those who, after they have come to faith in Christ, think they have no received a license freeing them from the earnest pursuit of sanctification.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 274.
