Life, and intro to Law and Gospel

 Lutheran theologian, born 1811, died 1887  Emigrated from Germany  First president of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod  Missouri’s most influential theologian  “Father of American Lutheranism”  Most influential work: The Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel

Martin Stephan

“Everything has already been done; you are already redeemed; you have already been made righteous before God; you have already been saved. You therefore do not have to do anything to redeem yourself; you do not have to reconcile God to yourself; you do not have to earn your salvation. Only believe that Christ, the Son of God has done all this in your stead; and by means of this faith you are a participant in this salvation… In that the Lutheran Church ascribes the reconciliation and redemption of all men to God alone, and totally denies man’s participation or cooperation in this, it also in this teaching gives all glory to God alone” -C.F.W. Walther

“The Bible is the question of God to men: Do you believe My Word? The symbolical writings are the answer of men: Yes, Lord, We believe what you say! The Bible with its teachings is the handwriting of God concerning our salvation, which Satan always wishes to falsify and declare as unauthentic. The symbolical writings contain the records which have been laid down, from which one can see how the church has believed these teachings from time to time and has ever held fast to them” -C.F.W. Walther

Why did God choose some individuals out of the mass of equally sinful human beings to have everlasting life in heaven? The answer is grace, God’s undeserved love for sinners because of Christ. Election Controversy

 “We believe, teach, and confess, that the cause which moved God to elect, is alone His grace and the merit of Jesus Christ, and not anything good foreseen by God in the elect, not even faith foreseen in them by God”  (Concerning the opponents): “Turn and twist as much as they will, they declare that something which man does is the cause of his salvation”
