Protestant theology rejected the church's authority, seeking truth unmediated by corruptible humans. For Luther and his heirs salvation comes through faith alone. It can not be earned. It is a gift from God. If it is a gift from God, God does not expect you, sinner that you are, to earn salvation. He saves you because he loves you, not because you can perfect yourself. God's grave gives you faith, provoking you to love God, makes you anxious to please God by obeying him like you would your loving father, doing good works out of love rather than fear. (查看原文)
