Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. Luther hath this expression concerning justification: says he, in the point of justification, there Christ and faith must be only put together; they must be alone, and nothing else with them; but in our conversation, there indeed comes in good works: just as it is between the bridegroom and the bride, the bridegroom and the bride are ⟨p. 43⟩alone in the bride chamber; but when they go abroad, there they have their train and servants attending them: so he compares justification to the bride chamber; none but Christ and faith must be there; but when they come abroad in their conversation, then all other graces attend them, and good works come in; but Christ is all in all here.
