A mighty, active, restless busy thing

Faith is also a very mighty, active, busy thing which at once renews a man, gives him a second birth, and introduces him to a new manner and way of life, so that it is impossible for him not to do good without ceasing. For as naturally as a tree bears fruit, good works follow faith.

Luther, WA 10.3.285 cited in David Scaer, Law and Gospel and the Means of Grace. 81.
