Came across this wonderful Luther quote while reading, "Being Lutheran" this morning:
Let us compare these and we shall see inestimable benefits. Christ is full of grace, life and salvation. The soul is full of sins, death and damnation. Now let faith come between them and sins, death and damnation will be Christ's, while grace, life and salvation will be the soul's; for if Christ is a bridegroom, He must take upon Himself the things which are his bride's and bestow upon her the things that are His.
