The Christian's Scorn of the World
Galatians 4:7
Why you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.


Whoever could believe without any doubt that it were true, and certainly comprehend how immeasurably great a thing it is, that one should be God's child and heir, such an one would without doubt take little account of the world, with all that therein is esteemed precious and honourable, such as human righteousness, wisdom, dominion, power, money, possessions, honour, pleasure, and the like; yea, all that in the world is honourable and glorious, would be to him loathsome and an abomination.

(Luther.)
