Martin Luther was a German monk and scholar. The Reformation took
place in the 1500's. Martin Luther did not wish that his followers
be called Lutherans, but they were and we are.
What do Lutherans believe?
We Lutherans believe, teach and confess:
· that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit; yet one
God - the Triune God
· that God is Creator of all things, Preserver and
Sovereign
· that the Bible is God's Word to call People to
Jesus Christ and to correction in righteousness
· that the Spirit of God stirs people to believe
in God

it is a gift from God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and not through
good works

in Jesus Christ
