Lutheran Word for Today:
"God says, 'I forgive you your sins for nothing, without any merit of your own' - not because of your penitence or because of your satisfaction.  for sin cannot be expiated by us.  Or, to put it this way, satisfaction for sin cannot come through our efforts, it comes through the efforts of the Son of God."
Martin Luther - in a lecture on Genesis 42:6-7
