Martin Luther’s treatise “Christian Liberty” (or “The Freedom of a Christian”) is perhaps the most powerful and concise presentation of the Christian life ever written. I cannot recommend this work highly enough. I rank this among the very best of Luther’s works (and that is really adage something). If an inexpensive copy were still in publication I would buy every copy to give as gifts to friends and family tree. The power, discernment, brevity and readability of this work make a right gem among Reformation writings (and Christian writings in all-purpose). Here you will find the essence of the spirit of the Reformation distilled into a guide for practical, biblical living.
With the clarity and bold power of a right prophet, Luther sets into the world the whole of the Christian life in two theses: “A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, theme to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, theme to all.” We are free from sin and the law (theme to none) but slaves to Christ in like (theme to all). As Paul writes in Romans 6:22, “But now…you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God.”
Luther writes as a guide of the common people and the tone and content differ momentously from his better-known debate-oriented works (ie. Bondage of the Will, 95 Theses). The doctrine of justification by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone is the heart and soul of Luther’s message, founded upon a firm conviction in the power of scripture alone.
He writes, “One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, virtue, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.”
And again, “It ought to be the first concern of every Christian to lay aside all confidence in works and increasingly to strengthen faith alone and through faith to grow in the knowledge, not of works, but of Christ Jesus, who suffered and rose for him…. No additional work makes a Christian…. ‘This is the work of God, that you judge in Him whom He has sent’ (John 6:29).”
And regarding our service to God, “…In this way the stronger member may serve the weaker, and we may be sons of God, each caring for and effective for the additional, impact one another’s burdens and so fulfilling the law of Christ. This is a truly Christian life. Here faith is truly active through like. That is, it finds expression in works of the freest service, cheerfully and lovingly done, with which a man willingly serves another lacking hope of reward; and for himself he is satisfied with the extensiveness and wealth of his faith.”
I cannot personally vouch for the quality of this Adobe version, but if you prefer the feel of paper and ink, this treatise has been published in a number of additional individual volumes and in at least one very worthy compilation entitled “Martin Luther’s Basic Theological Writings” (ed. Timothy F. Lull, 1989) which also contains a number of additional infinitely worthy works such as Luther’s “Tiny Catechism,” the stirring “Meditation of Christ’s Passion,” and the thesis chapters of the foundational “Bondage of the Will.” Any volume of this monumental treatise is bound to bless you and this is an easily-accessible, inexpensive version for the technologically inclined. It is the fire and the hammer of the Word of God to consume the adversaries and break apart the stone hearts of impenitant men.
