i am aware that we own a lot as believers to some of the revelation brother Martin had in his time. With retrospect, though, i will thank God that since his breakthrough from some legalism and religiosity we have departed from more of it, such as knowing that the grace of God makes us SAINTS the instant we give our life to the Lord and we are no more SINNERS- we WERE sinners and NOW saints saved by grace. I find that all too many Christians- even Luther here- find it all too easy- with the help of no small amount of sermons- to still view and call themselves sinners and not walk in more fullness of what Jesus has provided, purchased for us on the cross by shedding His blood and that is the freedom from sin !! no more shackles, God is working now on our righteousness !! Halleluyah !!! todah Yeshua !!!
It's interesting that Luther used the Catholic Church's version of the Ten Commandments in that the Protestant's version of the second commandment to not worship graven images was skipped and used the tenth commandment as the nineth and tenth commandment. But he also continued to accept infant baptism as ordained of God.
