God works by contraries so that a man feels himself to be lost in the very moment when he is on the point of being saved. When God is about to justify a man He damns him. Whom He would make alive He must first kill. God’s favour is so communicated in the form of wrath that it seems farther away when it is at hand.
—Martin Luther.
