Lutheranism

Lutheranism is a Christian faith created by a man named Martin Luther. Martin Luther wanted people to be able to read and understand the Bible so they could learn about God and God's love for them. He wanted everyone to be able to find their own way to God. Lutherans believe that people can only become closer to God through faith and by receiving Jesus' grace through believing in him. They emphasize the importance of prayer and reading the Bible. They also believe in living a life of service and helping others. Lutherans are a part of the Protestant Christian tradition.
