The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Augsburg Confession by Philip Melanchthon: the passion of Christ. For Christ's passion was an oblation
and satisfaction, not for original guilt only, but also for
all other sins, as it is written to the Hebrews, 10, 10: We
are sanctified through the offering of Jesus Christ once for
all. Also, 10, 14: By one offering He hath perfected forever
them that are sanctified. [It is an unheard-of innovation in
the Church to teach that Christ by His death made satisfaction
only for original sin and not likewise for all other sin.
Accordingly it is hoped that everybody will understand that
this error has not been reproved without due reason.]
Scripture also teaches that we are justified before God
