“although your sins are great, diverse, and many times repeated, they are not so great and serious that you cannot obtain pardon and forgiveness for them … . the steadfast love of the heavenly Father is incomparably greater than all sins. God forbid, therefore, God forbid, that you ever say, ‘greater is my iniquity than the pity of our merciful God.’” - handbook of consolations, johann gerhard (trans. dr. carl beckwith, beeson divinity school)
