Perhaps the most popular figure from the European Reformation‚ Martin Luther‚ noted for his doctrine of justification by faith alone was one who believed that only faith was needed for salvation‚ and he also held true that God provided everything that is necessary for justification. In 1528 Luther spoke out about salvation saying‚ “This faith alone‚ when based upon the sure promises of God‚ must save us; as our text clearly explains. And in

To these souls‚ works enter into the act of justification‚ in that‚ part of the justification is God producing good works in us‚ so that we are justified by faith plus those works. The proponents of this position would quickly turn to James 2:14-17‚ “What does it profit‚ my brethren‚ if someone says he has faith but

The Development of John Wesley’s Theology John Wesley deserved to receive the doctoral robe offered by Marin Luther as he successfully reconciled “salvation by faith alone” with “faith without works is dead.” A review of the key events in Wesley’s life and his developing thoughts indicates that it was a process that took a lifetime to achieve. Thus‚ I am left to wonder whether a doctoral robe would be sufficient recognition for such a monumental achievement. To properly address this issue‚

Why I am a Catholic Sola Scriptura Sola Scriptura and Unity Unity among Christians was clearly one of the chief concerns of Christ (John 17) and the Apostles (ex. 1 Cor. 1‚ 10; Eph. 4). This unity is not only a spiritual reality‚ but a physical one as well‚ for Jesus teaches that the oneness of the Church would be a witness to the world (Jn. 17:23). I have come to realize that Protestantism‚ in principle‚ cannot unify Christians. Sola scriptura effectively makes unity in moral code
