Yksinkö usko pelastaa?

Raamattu vuodelta 1903 Joh.Ilm.22:14 Autuaat ovat ne, jotka Hänen käskynsä pitävät, että heidän voimansa elämän puussa olisi, ja he porteista kaupunkiin sisälle menisivät.

Lutherin katekismuksesta lainattua: Niin muodoin on laista tullut meille kasvattaja Kristukseen, että me uskosta vanhurskaiksi tulisimme.

Aina tuo sama lause. Ota kontekeksti huomioon niin ymmärrät tarkoituksen:

“If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides. We, however, says Peter (2. Peter 3:13) are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where justice will reign. It suffices that through God's glory we have recognized the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day. Do you think such an exalted Lamb paid merely a small price with a meager sacrifice for our sins? Pray hard for you are quite a sinner.” (A Letter From Luther to Melanchthon, Letter 99, 1 August 1521).
