Thats good. I would say though that for me the place where Luther's message really has legs(to use his own expression), is with the recognition that there really is an antithesis here. It's Either leaves Or leather. We want to have Christ's righteousness and our own. We want faith plus works, but Paul screams at us, OH foolish American church who has bewitched you? We wear His leather and feel naked without our self-righteous leaves on top of them.(and worse teach others to feel this way!) A message i wrote for a friend on this subject a couple of years ago:
