There is No Sin

This is wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside of ourselves. I am justified and acceptable to God, although there are in me sin, unrighteousness, and horror of death. Yet I must look elsewhere and see no sin. This is wonderful, not to see what I see, not to feel what I feel. Before my eyes I see a gulden, or a sword, or a fire, and I must say, “There is no gulden, no sword, no fire.” The forgiveness of sins is like this.
