A man distressed about sin wrote to Luther. The Reformer, who himself had suffered long agonies over his problem, replied: "Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him and say - Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; you set on me what was yours. You became what you were not that I might become what I was not."-J.I. Packer,
Growing in Christ , p. 80
