“It is not without good cause, therefore, that we do so often repeat and beat into your minds the forgiveness of sins, and imputation of righteousness for Christ’s sake: also that a Christian hath nothing to do with the law and sin, especially in the time of temptation. For inasmuch as he is a Christian, he is above the law and sin. For he hath Christ the Lord of the law present and inclosed in his heart (as we have said) even as a ring hath a jewel or precious stone inclosed in it. Therefore when the law accuseth and sin terrifieth him, he looketh upon Christ, and when he hath apprehended him by faith, he hath present with him the conqueror of the law, sin, death and the devil; who reigneth and ruleth over them, so that they cannot hurt him.” Martin Luther
I was impressed and blessed by the good movie 'Luther.' I was moved to tears by God's 'amazing grace.' Before Emperor Charles V, Luther, affirming his uncompromising position on God's Word and His grace, said, "Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me." Will we stand firm for His Word and grace of the gospel?
