Luther: One Remedy Only

[I]f man is to find mercy, Christ alone must be the means. He alone makes us paupers rich with His superabundance, expunges our sins with His righteousness, devours our death with His life, and transforms us from children of wrath, tainted with sin, hypocrisy, lies, and deceit, into children of grace and truth.

Whoever does not possess this Man possesses nothing.

Martin Luther, LW 22:131
