Climbing hundreds of steps on his hands and knees, the place still stands in Rome where Martin Luther did penance for his sins—or so he thought. Some time later, by the grace of God, the truth of God was revealed to his anxious soul, “The just shall live by faith!” Working will not save you, weeping will not save you, praying will not save you. It is by faith alone in the finished work of Christ. —E. MacLelland
My faith has found a resting place,
Not in device nor creed;
I trust the ever living One,
His wounds for me shall plead. —Lidie H. Edmunds
