Luther's on Christian liberty
Book •
'On Christian Liberty' by Martin Luther is a seminal work that articulates his understanding of Christian freedom.
Luther argues that Christians are freed from the burden of the law through faith in Jesus Christ.
This freedom, however, does not lead to lawlessness but to a life of love and service to others.
Luther emphasizes the importance of both faith and good works, explaining that good works are the natural outflow of a heart transformed by faith.
The treatise explores the relationship between the inner freedom of the Christian and their outward actions, advocating for a life of joyful obedience to God's will.
