God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
MARTIN LUTHEREither sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
