Grace Christ Righteousness

More From Martin Luther

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

For that purpose christ instituted holy baptism, thereby to clothe you with his righteousness. it is tantamount to his saying, my righteousness shall be your righteousness; my innocence, your innocence. your sins indeed are great, but by baptism i bestow on you my righteousness; i strip death from you and clothe you with my life.

This is that mystery which is rich in divine grace unto sinners: wherein by a wonderful exchange, our sins are no longer ours but christ's; and the righteousness of christ is not christ's but ours. he has emptied himself of his righteousness that he might clothe us in it, and fill us with it: and he has taken our evils upon himself that he might deliver us from them.

When we say, "i take refuge in the buddha," we should also understand that "the buddha takes refuge in me," because without the second part the first part is not complete. the buddha needs us for awakening, understanding, and love to be real things and not just concepts. they must be real things that have real effects on life. whenever i say, "i take refuge in the buddha," i hear "the buddha takes refuge in me."

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

Let me make it quite clear that when christians say the christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. when they speak of being "in christ" or of christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about christ or copying him. they mean that christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of christians are the physical organism through which christ acts--that we are his fingers and muscles, the cells of his body.

A christian people who have for two hundred years kept a race in bondage, deprived of the advantages of civilization and religion, owe them a debt of gratitude which it would seem ungenerous to withhold.

I'm a christian. years ago, i went broke, so i decided to run every part of my life according to the bible. it sounds hokey, but it works. you run your marriage that way, and it works. it will work with business, too, and finances. treat people like you want to be treated.

The christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. god loves us, not because of what we do or accomplish, but because god has created and redeemed us in love.

The will of god will not take us where the grace of god cannot sustain us.
