Martin Luther on Faith Alone and Eternal Security
+ In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. +
1. Since our Master and Lord Jesus Christ said: Repent, etc. wishes He that the whole life of His faithful followers on earth be one of constant and unceasing repentance.
3. However, He did not mean for it to refer only to the inner repentance: yea, the inner repentance is null, and no repentance at all, where it does not outwardly work all sorts of deadenings of the flesh.
4. Keeping this same sorrow and regret, that is, true repentance, as long as one dislikes himself, namely, until the passage from this life into the everlasting one.
94. Christians should be urged to strive and follow their Head, Christ, through Cross, death, and Hell.
95. And all the more through much effort in Heaven to arrive, than through the comfort and consolation of peace to become more assured.
Priest: That we may carry out the rest of our lives in peace and repentance, let us ask of the Lord.
Faithful: Grant us this, oh Lord.
Priest: Let us offer up ourselves, each other, and our entire lives, unto Christ our God.
Faithful: Unto Thee, oh Lord.
