Gerhard and Walther

For it was especially for this reason that God the Lord created us and gave us a rational soul, namely that we should know Him from His Word, exalt Him and praise Him.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis III:40.

It is not the hearing of the sermon that saves a person, but the doing of what is preached, the keeping of the Word. In short, the doing of the Word is faith.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 425.
