The Fatuous Idea That A Person Can Be Holy By Himself Denies God The Pleasure Of Saving Sinners. God Must Therefore First Take The Sledge-hammer Of The Law In His Fists And Smash The Beast Of Self-righteousness And Its Brood Of Self-confidence, Self Wisdom, And Self-help. When The Conscience Has Been Thoroughly Frightened By The Law It Welcomes The Gospel Of Grace With Its Message Of A Savior Who Came-not To Break The Bruised Reed Nor To Quench The Smoking Flax-but To Preach Glad Tidings To The Poor, To Heal The Broken-hearted, And To Grant Forgiveness Of Sins To All The Captives.

The Fatuous Idea That A Person Can
Martin Luther
The Fatuous Idea That A Person Can Be Holy By Himself Denies God The Pleasure Of Saving Sinners. God Must Therefore First Take The Sledge-hammer Of The Law In His Fists And Smash The Beast Of Self-righteousness And Its Brood Of Self-confidence, Self Wisdom, And Self-help. When The Conscience Has Been Thoroughly Frightened By The Law It Welcomes The Gospel Of Grace With Its Message Of A Savior Who Came-not To Break The Bruised Reed Nor To Quench The Smoking Flax-but To Preach Glad Tidings To The Poor, To Heal The Broken-hearted, And To Grant Forgiveness Of Sins To All The Captives.
