“Therefore, even though outwardly everything seems to be against us, as if it would crush and devour us, there is no need to be troubled; for inwardly, in our conscience, we have peace. And this peace of conscience is the first and most immediate fruit of faith, as Paul says in Rom. [5:1], 'Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.'” Martin Luther, Sermon on St. Matthias' Day, 1525, LW, AE, 51:131
