A Treatise On Good Works

A Treatise On Good Works is a book written by Martin Luther, a German theologian and religious reformer. The book is a comprehensive guide to the concept of good works in the Christian faith. In the book, Luther argues that good works are not enough to earn salvation and that salvation can only be achieved through faith in Jesus Christ. He also discusses the importance of good works as a way of expressing gratitude for God's grace and as a means of serving others. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the concept of good works. Luther's writing is clear and concise, making the book accessible to readers of all levels of religious knowledge. Overall, A Treatise On Good Works is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and the role of good works in it.The first and highest, the most precious of all good works is faith in Christ, as He says, John vi. When the Jews asked Him: ""What shall we do that we may work the works of God?"" He answered: ""This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him Whom He hath sent."" When we hear or preach this word, we hasten over it and deem it a very little thing and easy to do, whereas we ought here to pause a long time and to ponder it well. For in this work all good works must be done and receive from it the inflow of their goodness, like a loan. This we must put bluntly, that men may understand it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
