“Now everyone can notice and feel for himself when he does what is good and what is not good. If he finds his heart confident that it pleases God, then the work is good, even if it were so small thing is picking up straw. If the confidence is not there, or if he has any doubt about it, the new work is not good, even if the work were to raise all the dead and the man were to give his body to be burned.” Martin Luther, Treatise on Good Works, LW, AE, 44:25
