Question

"Our sins have their source in Adam, and because Adam ate the apple, we have inherited sin from him. But Christ has shattered death in order that we might be saved by his works and not by our works. Christ says I am you Justification." Martin Luther

What best describes Luther's meaning in the excerpt above?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

What can best describe the meaning of the sentence is:

Only faith in Christ that can bring salvation,not good works.

In essence, having faith in Christ is what can bring about our salvation. This mean, no human work can produce salvation. This is why, we as humans cannot boast that our work has brought us salvation. The bible made it know in the book of John that Christ is the only way. So having faith in Christ is what can bring salvation not by works or other method. That is why Christ died and rose again.
