Note 3 — Chapter XV · THE MYSTERY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHRIST, OR THE PERSONAL GOD.
George Eliot translation
“Because God has given us his Son, he has with him given us everything, whether it be called devil, sin, hell, heaven, righteousness, life; all, all must be ours, because the Son is ours as a gift, in whom all else is included.”—Luther (Th. xv. p. 311). “The best part of the resurrection has already happened; Christ, the head of all Christendom, has passed through death and risen from the dead. Moreover, the most excellent part of me, my soul, has likewise passed through death, and is with Christ in the heavenly being. What harm, then, can death and the grave do me?”—Luther (Th. xvi. p. 235). “A Christian man has equal power with Christ, has fellowship with him and a common tenure.” (Th. xiii. p. 648.) “Whoever cleaves to Christ has as much as he.” (Th. xvi. p. 574.) ↑
