All laws and philosophy merely tell us what should be done, but they do not provide the strength to do it.
Martin LutherIn a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
Martin LutherFaith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favour that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace.
Martin Luther
