Glory to God in highest heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given; While angels sing with tender mirth, A glad new year to all the earth.

God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.

When God's righteousness is mentioned in the gospel, it is God's action of declaring righteous the unrighteous sinner who has faith in Jesus Christ. The righteousness by which a person is justified (declared righteous) is not his own but that of another, Christ.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

Without armaments peace cannot be kept; wars are waged not only to repel injustice but also to establish a firm peace.
