Martin Luther •
1483-1546
•
A storm changed his plans
•
As a monk, he experienced a heavy sense of guilt
•
Tried every method to alleviate his guilt and sin
Martin Luther “I was indeed a pious monk and followed the rules of my order more strictly than I can express. If every monk could obtain heaven by his monkish works, I should certainly have been entitled to it. Of this all the friars who have known me can testify. If I had continue much longer, I should have carried my mortifications even to death, by means of my watchings, prayers, reading, and other labors.”
Martin Luther “Night and day I pondered, until I saw the connection between the justice of God and the statement that ‘the just shall live by faith.’ Then I grasped that the justice of God is that righteousness by which through grace and sheer mercy God justifies us through faith. Thereupon I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise.”
