Gerhard and Walther

Since these divine promises [1 Tim 2:4-6; 2 Pet 3:9] are universal, a repentant sinner should never exclude himself from them.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis, II:214.

Do not attempt to plead your own righteousness before the holy God. You will only be shamed by it. Before God, even the heavens are not pure and all human righteousness is like a filthy garment.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 408.
