The Ninety-Five Theses

Martin Luther's experience of salvation led him to re-read the Psalms and understand justification by faith on virtually every page of the Bible. This understanding was influenced by Augustine's interpretation of Romans 1, which described the righteousness of God as a righteousness that God provides for people who are not righteous. Luther's discovery of this concept led him to challenge the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences, which he saw as a corrupt practice that led people to believe they could buy salvation.

You Own A Certificate Of Acquittal – Part 2 of 2

The Bible teaches that justification by faith is the only way to achieve certainty of salvation, and that believers can rejoice in their acquittal before God. This is because Jesus' death and resurrection provide a certificate of acquittal, guaranteeing that believers will be taken to heaven despite their sins. The security of the believer is rooted in God's justification of those who trust in Jesus, and believers can find assurance in the fact that God will not condemn them. Ultimately, salvation is a free gift from Jesus, and believers must receive it as such to experience redemption and eternal life. [... more]
