“This is the office and work of the Holy Ghost: to reveal through the Gospel what great and glorious things God has done for us through Christ, namely, that He has redeemed us from sin, death, and the devil’s power; has taken us into His grace and protection; and has given Himself utterly and entirely for us.”
–Martin Luther, What Luther Says: An Anthology, comp. Ewald M. Plass (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1959), entry no. 2045, 662.
