Luther's Words: The good counsel of Staupitz to Luther

Why do you torture yourself with these speculations?  Look at the wounds of Christ and at the blood He shed for you; from these your election will shine forth.  Therefore we must hear the Son of God, who was sent into the flesh and has appeared for the purpose of destroying the work of the devil and making you certain of your election.  So He tells you: You are My sheep because you heard My voice; and no one shall pluck you out of My hands.
