Luthernism

Lutheranism is a branch of Christianity that traces its origins to Martin Luther, a 16th-century reformer. It emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God received through faith alone, not through works or church ceremonies. Lutherans believe the Bible is the ultimate authority and that Jesus Christ's death and resurrection offer forgiveness and eternal life to believers. The faith focuses on God's grace, Scripture, and the importance of personal trust in Christ, maintaining liturgical traditions but emphasizing a direct relationship with God without the need for intermediaries.
