Martin Luther
What Lutherans Believe
As Lutherans, we are inspired by Martin Luther's teachings, including the following beliefs:
  • The human condition is never truly free of sin
  • God's Grace - Faith that Christ is our Saviour and died so that we may be free from the penalty of our sins
  • Free gift of grace by faith - we are justified by faith alone, and faith itself is a gift
  • You cannot earn salvation through good works, but good works are a response to God's gracious gift of Jesus

A more comprehensive collection of Lutheran beliefs is in the Large Catechism, and the Small Catechism. Both were built on five points:
  • The 10 commandments as a mirror of sin
  • The Apostles' Creed as a proclamation of forgiveness
  • The Lord's Prayer as an acceptance of mercy
  • The sacrament of baptism as a channel of grace
  • The sacrament of the Lord's Supper as a channel of grace
