If I were righteous and had no sin, I should have no need of Christ to be my reconciler. Therefore let us praise God the Father, and give him a hearty thanks for this His immeasurable mercy, that He has delivered us out of the Kingdom of the devil by His own Son, when such was impossible to be done by our own strength. Let us extol and magnify the glory of Christ, who has delivered us into the Kingdom of Christ...to whom be glory, world without end. Amen!’\r\nMartin Luther\r\n\r\nThe Glory of God displayed\r\n- The riches of God\r\n- The plan of God\r\n- The gift of God\r\n\r\nThe Glory of God declared\r\n- To God be the glory\r\n‘And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.
