Our Blessed Hope, In Christ
We therefore do make this definition of a Christian, that a Christian is not he which has no sin, or feels no sin, but he to whom God imputes not his sin because of his faith in Christ. This doctrine brings strong consolation to afflicted consciences in serious and inward terrors. It is not without good cause, therefore, that we do so often repeat and beat into your minds the forgiveness of sins, and imputation of righteousness for Christ's sake: also that a Christian hath nothing to do with the law and sin, especially in the time of temptation. For inasmuch as he is a Christian, he is above the law and sin. For he has Christ the Lord of the law present and inclosed in his heart (as we have said) even as a ring has a jewel or precious stone inclosed in it. Therefore, when the law accuses and sin terrifies him, he looks upon Christ, and when he has apprehended him by faith, he has with him the Conqueror of the law, sin, death and the devil: Who reigns and rules over them, so that they cannot hurt him. [ Luther on Galatians ]
Who And Whose We Are, In Christ
But now in the light of the Gospel we plainly see who they are whom Christ and His Apostles call saints: not they which live a single life, or [ perfectly observe, meats, apparel, and such other things ], or in outward appearance do other great and monstrous works ( as we read of many in the "Lives of the Fathers"); but they which being called by the sound of the Gospel and baptized, do believe that they be sanctified and cleansed by the death and blood of Christ. So Paul everywhere, writing to the Christians, calls them holy, the children and heirs of God: not by their own works, but by the works of God, which they receive by faith: as His Word, His Sacraments, the passion of Christ, His death, resurrection, victory, and the sending of the Holy Ghost. To conclude, they are saints through a passive, not an active holiness. [ Luther on Galatians ]
