Martin Luther-An Introduction to His Life and Work -5

for Luther, the righteousness received in faith was not only the forgiveness of sins but also the beginning of God's process of making us righteous.(P.150)

"Take Christ out of the Scripture, and what will you find left in them?" This led Luther directly to the conclusion that Scripture interprets itself.(P.156)

The distinction between law and gospel is one of the most important themes in Luther's theology.(P.158)

Luther thought of God as always active...,God acts in a hidden way,,,.It teaches us to rely on God.(P.168)

The wrath of God is,,,.the power of God at work in life..,We need to flee from this wrath to the love of God..in Christ. God's revelation in Jesus Christ breaks through the power of God's wrath.(P.171)
