What Lutherans believe

Lutherans profess the historic creeds of the church, which proclaim that God is a Trinity - the Creator, Saviour and Comforter of humanity and all that is.
Lutherans especially emphasise that God offers his eternal love to humans as a gift - it is not something that they can earn by what they do. In Christ, God has shown us that he accepts us as we are, with our many failings.
By placing our trust in this gracious promise of God, given in Christ, we are put right with God. Lutherans sum this up by professing that we are justified by grace, through faith.
Such faith empowers people to express love to their neighbours freely - not in an effort to win God's salvation, but in praise of the God who loves us unconditionally and eternally. For more information visit the book of concord (click here).
