Luther

This, then, is the way made straight for Christ, and this is the true ministry of John, that he shall humble men and tell them that they are all sinners, lost and condemned, poor, miserable creatures, and that there is no life, nor work, nor standing so holy, great, and good, that it is not under condemnation, unless Christ dwell, and work, and walk therein; and both is and does all things through His faith. And they all need Christ Jesus and should earnestly desire to partake of His grace.—Sermon for Rorate Coeli, 1522
