"...a Christian man has in his faith all that he needs, and needs no works to justify him ... they who imagine that they are fulfilling the law by doing the works of chastity and mercy required by the law (the civil and human virtues), might not be confident that they will ... be saved; they are included under the sin of unbelief, and must either seek mercy or be justly condemned." —Luther, On the Freedom of a Christian #gm #grace #thelawandthegospel #wedistinguish
