The Main Thing

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther made public his 95 Theses. In doing so, he stated that the main thing we need for the assurance of God’s forgiveness is not living a good life or performing good works — but trusting in God alone. Luther insisted that we are, as the apostle Paul writes, saved only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It gradually dawned on Luther that he was free. And he was loved. Luther rediscovered what had always been there in the Scriptures. Read the clear, powerful words of Romans 3 and celebrate the Good News that we are saved by God’s grace through faith in His Son, our Savior.
