Accordingly you will find peace only in him and only when you despair of yourself and your own works. Besides, you will learn from him that just as he has received you, so he has made your sins his own and has made his righteousness yours.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Luther\u2019s Works(AE) v. 48:12-13<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:10px;height:15px;\" class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:right;border-style:none;\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=e515723d-3513-4e9d-9642-df96d05ae483\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image via Wikipedia Beware of aspiring to such purity that you will not wish to be looked upon as a sinner, or to be one.
