TOPIC INDEXJustification (28)
  1. This is an excerpt from “The Freedom of the Christian” written by Martin Luther and translated and edited by Adam Francisco (1517 Publishing, 2020).
  2. It is impossible to obtain grace and the forgiveness of sins in any other way, manner, or measure than by hearing the Word of God about Christ and by receiving it through faith.
  3. Christians have the rare faculty, above all other people on earth, of knowing where to place their care, while others vex and torture themselves and at length must despair.
  4. A truly Christian work is it that we descend and get mixed up in the mire of the sinner, taking his sin upon ourselves and floundering out of it with him, not acting otherwise than as if his sin were our own.
  5. Christ presents to us such liberty, so that we as Christians according to our faith may tolerate no other master, but only hold that we are baptized and called unto Christ, and through him have become justified and sanctified.
  6. Love is to be the interpreter of law. Where there is no love, these things are meaningless, and law begins to do harm.
  7. Christ is joy and sweetness to a broken heart. Christ is a lover of poor sinners, and such a lover that He gave Himself for us.
  8. I am told that it is preposterous and wicked to call the Son of God a cursed sinner. I answer: If you deny that He is a condemned sinner, you are forced to deny that Christ died.
  9. Paul says that the power of sin is the law. The more clearly we understand the law, the more sin oppresses and stings us.
  10. I venture to assert I have never read, in the entire Scriptures, words more beautifully expressive of the grace of God than these two children words.
  11. The kingdom of Christ is realized where nothing but comfort and the forgiveness of sins reign not only in words to proclaim it, which is also necessary; but also in deed.
  12. A truly Christian work is it that we descend and get mixed up in the mire of the sinner as deeply as he sticks there himself.
