Vocation (14)
  1. Christian mercy should not seek its own. It must be round, and open its eyes and look at all alike, friend and foe, as our heavenly Father does.
  2. Faith should later again flow forth from our heart’s depths to our neighbor freely and unhindered in good works; not that we wish to rest our salvation in them; for God will not have that, but wishes the conscience to rest in himself alone.
  3. The upright, in whom the law has exercised its work, when they feel their sickness and weakness, say: God will help me; I trust in him; I build upon him; he is my rock and hope.
  4. Faith is a living, bold trust in God’s grace, so certain of God’s favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it.
  5. Now, if there were another way to heaven, doubtless, he would have made it known to us.
  6. Any good work we perform among you; any doctrine we write upon your heart – that is God’s own work.

  11. The kingdom of Christ is realized where nothing but comfort and the forgiveness of sins reign not only in words to proclaim it, which is also necessary; but also in deed.
  12. A truly Christian work is it that we descend and get mixed up in the mire of the sinner as deeply as he sticks there himself.
