Concerning Christian Liberty

The essay delves into the essence of the Protestant Reformation, presenting Martin Luther's theological insights on faith, freedom, and good works. Central to his argument is the belief that true Christian freedom stems from faith in Christ, which justifies believers and liberates them from sin and the law. Luther emphasizes that salvation is a divine gift obtained through faith, not through human efforts. He explores the dual nature of Christians as both free rulers and devoted servants, urging them to express their faith through love for others rather than mere rituals.
