What Lutherans Believe
Lutherans hold to the following basic principles of theology and practice written by Martin Luther: - We are saved by the grace of God alone - not by anything we do. - Through faith alone, we receive this salvation by believing in Christ and that our sins are forgiven for Christ's sake who died to redeem us. - The Bible is the only norm of doctrine and life - the only true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged. If you would like more information about Martin Luther, what Lutherans believe, or the history of our Lutheran affiliation (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), please visit the ELCA website. Maybe more to the point, here's an informative new page on the ELCA website called "What Do Lutherans Believe?" |
