Luther believed that man can be saved by faith alone. To him it is a more personal relationship
with God. Like the humanists of the Renaissance era, he questioned by many of
the Church’s use of sacraments and practices and concentrated more on the faith
of person in Jesus Christ. He also
became disillusioned with the Church due to the many practices that he saw as
corrupting the faith. He was against the
selling of indulgences which was salvation for the soul by either performing a
good deed or paying a sum of money.
