What We Believe continued...

... And, the Apostle Peter said of this same Jesus, “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Lutherans also believe that God’s Word is the sole authority for all matters of faith and life. “All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16) God’s Word consists of the Law, which tells us that we are sinners in need of His forgiveness; and the Gospel, which proclaims the Good News that God has forgiven all of our sins for Jesus’ sake.

Lutherans have been people of one Lord and three books: scripture, catechism, and hymnal. The center of all three books is the Holy Trinity revealed in the one Lord Jesus Christ.
