Sanctification (160)
  1. The following is an excerpt from Martin Luther’s Commentary on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians (1535), translated by Haroldo Camacho (1517 Publishing, 2018).
  2. When we imagine we’re living an evil-shunning, virtue-practicing, morally superior Christian life, the problem is not that our halos are too small, but that our heads are too big.
  3. No worry, no fear. Nothing she can do can separate her from the love of Christ!
  4. All the verbs of our salvation are passive. God calls and gathers people to him through his Gospel.
  5. The veil was not torn to let us in but to let God out.
  6. The law demands love, and love has no limits, no end, it is never done.
  7. We are no longer controlled by sin as He moves our lips to speak love and forgiveness. We are passive as He acts out His words and His salvation for us.
  8. As sinful humans, we are adept at taking what God gives as gift and making it into a work. Nowhere is this made more evident than in the universally misunderstood doctrine of sanctification.
  9. Repentance is not a call to improve. It is a call to die.
  10. We are dangerously good at focusing on our exciting, or boring, walk of faith.
  11. The words “gift of righteousness” will bring about two completely polar opposite feelings: One of Dread. One of Relief.
  12. Growing up, I dreaded the first Sunday of each quarter. Every time during the evening service, we would have Lord’s Supper after the sermon.
