For this quote alone I am Lutheran (though yes, there are plenty of other reasons too).
If you are a preacher of grace, then preach a true not a fictitious grace; if grace is true, you must bear a true and not a fictitious sin. God does not save people who are only fictitous sinners. Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly, for he is victorious over sin, death, and the world.
Martin Luther, Luther's Works, Volume 48, pgs 281-282.
