Gerhard and Walther

The Son and the Holy Spirit are the two great witnesses of God’s love.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis III:102.

The powerless imaginings of the heart and the dead knowledge of the intellect will not suffice. Instead, the faith that avails is the one in which a divine living power changes the heart of the person, softening it and filling it both with a holy aversion to every sin and with love for Christ.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 463.
