"but with His holy, precious blood and with His innocent suffering and death, that I may be His own and live under Him in His kingdom and serve Him in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness, just as He is risen from the dead, lives and reigns to all eternity. This is most certainly true."(SC)
AELW2:195
"But this happens by the definite counsel of God, who freely grants the ungodly an abundance of everything, even as they strive for it greedily and apply themselves to this endeavor. God does not permit their efforts to be in vain. Meanwhile the sons of God hunger, thirst, freeze, and die by hanging or fire. Why does this happen? Undoubtedly to make us understand that riches of another kind are promised to us in the Word and have been won for us by the Son of God. The ungodly are not concerned with these; they are interested in material things, which come to them in abundance, since they strive so vigorously to get them."
