On Christian Liberty Martin Luther
Martin Luther's seminal treatise, 'On Christian Liberty,' explores the paradoxical nature of a Christian's freedom and servitude. Written during the early years of the Reformation, it articulates how true spiritual liberty is found through faith in Christ, making one free from sin and the law, yet simultaneously compelling believers to willingly serve others out of love. This influential work differentiates between the external acts of good works and the internal liberation of the soul, profoundly shaping Protestant theology and the understanding of justification by faith.
