"Luther Quotations": #13
"But when God ...was pleased to reveal his Son in me.." (1;16)
To be governed
and controlled in your heart by the gospel (God's complete forgiveness, at peace and having
freedom from the law, etc) is most difficult in day to day living.
Be
encouraged! You are not alone in this struggle and difficulty!
Here Luther describes his own struggle in this matter:
"The
difference (BEING GOSPEL CENTERED AND NOT MERIT/LAW CONTROLLED) in itself is easy
and plain (TO UNDERSTAND), but to us it is hard and full of difficulty...in the agony and the
conflict of conscience (GUILT), to hold onto this (THE GOSPEL) and practice it
indeed is hard, even to those who are most experienced in it"
