Gerhard and Walther

If God’s will is to be fulfilled in and through us with genuine childlike obedience, then we must denounce our own will and deny it.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis III:257.

The Law certainly reveals the righteousness that God demands of us, but it gives us no power to produce it. It shows us our death, but it cannot make us alive.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 569.
