Luther: faith a work of God

Friday, July 9, 2010
Meditation:
    For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
    —Romans 8:13-14 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Faith is a work of God in us, which changes us and brings us to birth anew from God. It kills the old Adam, makes us completely different people in heart, mind, senses, and all our powers, and brings the Holy Spirit with it.
    ... Martin Luther (1483-1546), “Preface to the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans”, par. 14 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, I hear Your Spirit’s voice. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
