The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden

Characteristically, Luther challenges the complete adequacy of ordering schemes such as the ordo salutis. Thus, for example, in "Treatise on Good Works (1520)," he can say that the love that, in one respect, is brought along with faith and confidence as a consequence, in another respect, comes first, or, "at any rate it comes at the same time as faith" (LW, 44: 30).

This reminds me of nothing so much as Mr. Wesley's insistence that "in that very moment" in which justification, or "relative change," occurs, sanctification, or "real change," begins.
