Excerpt from the
introduction: (emphasis added)
6. Justification by faith.
This was the grand
point on which the Reformation mainly hinged, the great center
around which the whole work revolved; it was “first among the
foremost” of the fundamental doctrines taught and insisted upon
by the Master-spirit. He rescued it from the corruptions of
Romanism, and having thus cleansed it from the human inventions
thrown around it by popery, proclaimed it of anew in all its
gospel simplicity and native sublimity. It is still
cherished among Lutherans as the richest legacy of the
Reformation, and as concentrating the quintessence of all
scriptural truth. “Men cannot,” says the Confession, “be
justified before God by their own strength, merit or works; but
they obtain forgiveness and are justified by grace, for Christ’s
sake, through faith.”
