A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.
When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, 'Repent,' he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.
In the bonds of Death He lay Who for our offense was slain; But the Lord is risen to-day, Christ hath brought us life again, Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud, with cheerful voice, Hallelujah!
