A Lutheran is a Christian who holds that all of Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and that the teachings drawn from it, as contained in the Book of Concord, are faithful and true. “Lutheran” may be easily summed up by emphasizing the “solas” that highlighted the reformation of the Church, started by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther:
GRACE ALONE: Salvation is the free gift of God for the sake of Jesus Christ.
FAITH ALONE: Salvation comes to us through faith and not our works or merits.
SCRIPTURE ALONE: The Good News of our salvation has its final standard through the Word or God and not any human tradition or reason.
