About Lutheran Churches

The Lutheran church is a result of the Protestant Reformation that was initiated by Martin Luther in the 16th century. The Book of Concord is an important document that contains the confessions of the Lutheran church, and it was first published in the year 1580. Today, nearly 70 million people are members of the Lutheran church, and there are hundreds of millions of Christians that trace their church back to the transformation that was initiated by Martin Luther. To understand the Lutheran Church, one must understand Martin Luther and the Reformation. Martin Luther was a priest who wished to chance many of the practices of the Roman Catholic Church. The Reformation begin when Luther placed his 95 thesis on the doors of a church in Wittenberg.

When Luther posted his 95 thesis on the doors of the church, he initiated what would eventually become the Protestant movement. Many people followed Luther, and they all left the Roman Catholic Church behind. It should be noted that Lutherans make up approximately 4% of the entire world population of Christians, and a number of movements have occured as a result of this church. One of the most important concepts of the Lutheran Church is the concept of "Scripture alone." As the name suggests, Lutherans feel that the Bible is a book that is inspired by God, and it should be the absolute authority of anything that deals with faith. Many Lutherans today feel that the Bible does not have any errors. At the same time, there are some Lutherans who believe that the Bible is essentially a human document, which may be prone to mistakes.

Justification plays an important role in the Lutheran Church. Members of this church believe that a person can only gain salvation through the grace of God, or through faith or Christ. Like many Christian denominations, Lutherans believe that God is the true creator of the world, and was responsible for the development of humans. They also believe that humans were perfect when they were first created, even though they lost this through the actions of Adam and Eve, who they believe to be the first man and woman. The word which is used to describe this concept of "Original Sin." Lutherans do not believe it is possible for humans to simply do good things to gain the positive justice of God. Through grace, a person can be forgiven, and they can gain their salvation.

Lutheran churches teach that salvation is only available because of sacrifices that were made by Jesus Christ, who gave up his life. Like many Christians, Lutherans believe that humans can only reach God through Christ. According to Lutheran churches, when a man dies, his debts have been paid. The concept of faith is very important in Lutheran churches, and this is one of the things that will allow a person to gain salvation. There are two sacraments that are very important to Lutherans, and these are the Lord's Supper and the Holy Baptism. They believe that the bread and wine of the Lord's Supper represents the blood and body of Christ, while Baptism is considered to be a task of God.
