Being "Lutheran," our congregations accept and teach Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired
the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can
be summarized in three short phrases:
Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone. |
|
|
Grace alone |
|
|
God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His
love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly. |
|
|
Faith alone |
|
|
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness
and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it
offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him. |
|
|
Scripture alone |
|
|
The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation
in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine. |
|
|
Who is Jesus? |
|
For more than 2,000 years people have asked the question, "Who is Jesus?". We were not present when Jesus
lived on this earth, but in the Bible we have the record of his birth, life, death on the cross, and
resurrection.
Study of the Bible, God's Word, will enable you to seek out the answer to this age-old question.
