Quote for contemplation:
“The justified sinner, in his own consciousness, never can and never will, say: “Now I can sin as much as I like. I have attained justification; I can now eat and drink and be merry.” That is a spiritual impossibility. The justified sinner is so overwhelmed by the wonder of God’s grace in Christ that all he wants to do is please his Savior. And when he sins, he does not say, “I’m justified; it doesn’t matter.” He says, “Lord, Be merciful to me, a sinner.”
