Who only knows this about God, he thought, does not even come close to that which is most important: the immense depth of his fatherly heart and his pure, inexpressible love.

God’s unconditional love of mankind, which is shown by thefact that Christ has carried away the sins of the world, is the mostsignificant expression of God’s deepest being.

Luther was convinced that if people think they need to deserveGod’s grace by their ‘their works, their strict way of life, andtheir own holiness’, they do not know God, because the graceof God is in every way a free gift and by no means a reward.

Whoever wants to earn even the smallest part of God’s grace,reduces (violates) the honor of God and slanders his name.

From: ‘Struck by Grace’
