From You, My Dear Erasmus, Let Me

Faith Ever Says, "if Thou Wilt," Not "if Thou Canst.

Night And Day I Pondered Until I Saw The Connection Between The Justice Of God And The Statement That 'the Just Shall Live By His Faith.' Then I Grasped That The Justice Of God Is That Righteousness By Which Through Grace And Sheer Mercy God Justifies Us Through Faith. Thereupon I Felt Myself To Be Reborn And To Have Gone Through Open Doors Into Paradise.

When The Devil Wants To Cause Offense Against The True Doctrine And Faith, He Does Not Do So Through Insignificant People, Who Do Not Rate Highly With The World, But Through Those Who Are The Very Best, The Wisest, The Holiest, And The Most Learned.

If I Had To Refute All The Other Articles Of The Jewish Faith, I Should Be Obliged To Write Against Them As Much And For As Long A Time As They Have Used For Inventing Their Lies - That Is, Longer Than Two Thousand Years.

If I Profess With Loudest Voice And Clearest Exposition Every Portion Of The Truth Of God Except That Little Point Which The World And The Devil Are At That Moment Attacking, I Am Not Confessing Christ, However Boldly I May Be Professing Christ. Where The Battle Rages, There The Loyalty Of The Soldier Is Proved, And To Be Steady On All The Battlefield Besides, Is Mere Flight And Disgrace If He Flinches At That Point.
