When the devil throws our sins up to us and declares that we deserve death and hell, we ought to speak thus: "I admit that I deserve death and hell. What of it? Does this mean that I shall be sentenced to eternal damnation? By no means. For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction in my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Where he is, there shall I be also."
If that don't ring your bell, your clapper's broken.

...that should ring all of our bells. Speaking of our sin and the devil's constant reminders I like this Luther gem, "Either 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."
Nice to see you back to blogging today.
Thanks, Ken. It's been a crazy week or so.
And thanks for the additional Luther gem.
