Blessed by Believing

Martin Luther

I am completely steeped in, and saturated with, the article of the forgiveness of sins. I am dealing with it constantly, day and night; and all my thoughts are of Jesus Christ, my only Savior, who has atoned and paid for my sin. I grant the Law -- and all the devils -- nothing. If only a man can believe the forgiveness of sin, he is a blessed person.
