Grace

While the insights in each chapter are uniquely personal to the individual writers, the overarching theme is one of the sufficiency of Christ.

Grace does not emancipate us from any requirement of obedience. Rather, grace allows Jesus to be obedient on our behalf that the righteous demands of the law can be fulfilled.

Except for the Augsburg Confession, Melanchthon’s Loci communes of 1521 were the most important of his writings.

The night has passed and the day broken. In response to the morning dawn, birds sing, beasts arouse themselves and all humanity arises.

Baptism is always valid because no unrighteousness or faithlessness on our part could nullify God’s faithfulness.
