Gerhard and Walther

Love unites and transforms… If thou lovest God and divine things, thou shalt become divine.—Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditation IX

But even this does not confuse the one who has an established heart. He looks alone upon the certain, never-changing Word. This is the precious thing of which our text speaks: an established heart is not carried about by various strange doctrines. Blessed, blessed is the person who has attained this treasure!—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, pp. 774,5.
